this is what race looks like...

i will not explain myself. and that's just the truth. i seek solace in autonomy. and it all makes sense why folks be raising kids the way they do. or at least it makes sense now why my mama and the rest of the village raised us the way that they did. and other folks' parents raised them too. i ain't got time to be raisin' folks and let them know what it means to be a black woman. good lawd ahmercy, are you serious? not my job. there is a very present irritation that lives beneath my skin. oh. now i get it. diary of a mad black woman. please. in this world, just ask any one...payin' attention to these crazy folk out here, any of us could be called mad.

and i love my job. so much.

love,

l'
