Somewhere in the Lost and Found

I am a Nigerian Jamaican feminista. Brooklyn born and Jersey bred. I'm your Bed-Stuy living, rum loving, public health, international development and women studies nerd. Living by three basic rules: treat everyone as you wish to be treated, appreciate those who love you, and speak your truths. Forever loving my spirit and that body that houses it.

Welcome to my world!

sevangroup:

Transcribing her experiences and transforming conversations. Meet Bassey.

my favorite piece so far. i love what we’ve started with the blog; each person featured has a unique story and we put a lot of time and effort into crafting the posts. but this one is special because of the glaring taboo within the black community that we took the time to expose a little bit. plus, bassey is just plain awesome and so humble. mental health is not a game and bassey takes the edge off of a topic often thought of as something huge and scary that should be avoided with her frank and honest words. at the end of the day, it’s about being your best self, no matter the odds stacked against you.

Love her

    kilele:

    Author, activist, visionary, and Nobel Peace Prize winner.

    RIP Wangari Maathai (1 April 1940 – 25 September 2011).

    “Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own.”

    via fyeahafrica:

    RIP? what? how?? =(

    Love that I had the chance to see her in person…. Rest in Peace
