    💫 A Thread of thoughts from Twitter: ⠀ I unde 💫 A Thread of thoughts from Twitter: ⠀ I understand the desire to seemingly make up for lost time. I get wanting to do “right,” now. But we didn’t JUST get here. These businesses have BEEN standing, existing, working before this week. ⠀ once the dust settles, that’s when we’ll see if you’re “getting” it. don’t start treating us like things you’ve recently discovered. nor should you arise from your slumber expecting to be coddled. when a child is disciplined, the real work comes after the admonishment. ⠀ are you willing to work? or are you here for praise? because I don’t have time for empty platitudes and the denial of willful ignorance. be sure to keep us in mind when the dust has settled. and keep doing the work when the cameras have turned off. show us who you really are. ⠀ in the meantime? we’ll see. ⠀ we will see. ⠀ 〰️ #TheHautemommie #WeveBeenHere #BlackCreators #BrownUpYourFeed 💫

    💫 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again 💫 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Joy is an act of resistance. we are all weary, drained, depleted of this fight. many of us, long before we could utter our own cries of wrongdoing, ages ahead of when we could put a name to our pain, we felt it. ⠀ we overheard the mumbling of our grandparents, listened as our parents lamented on about the atrocities they experienced in pursuit of simply trying to keep food on our tables. we lended our small ears to their wounded hearts, and all we could give we’re tiny embraces. ⠀ years later, we understand. all too familiar are we with the same maddening feelings they harbored. decades have flown by and the frustrations are still many. ⠀ but what I reflect on is how we made it over. how even in the midst of all of the suffering, we laughed. jokes floated by carrying the sounds of our bellies deepest roars. I think of how we found joy in even the darkest of times. ⠀ here we stand again. in the center of calamity, at the forefront of reckoning wondering how we will get through. joy. joy is how. joy in the tiniest things, joy in the wins we are experiencing in spite of turmoil. joy in prosperity that is surfacing even in the face of a pandemic. ⠀ they have stolen our voices, our bodies, our people but I refuse to let them have my joy. ⠀ it is my strength. ⠀ it is my refuse. ⠀ it is my resistance. ⠀ ⠀ 〰️ #TheHautemommie #selfcare #ListenToBlackWomen 💫 ⠀
    💫 if there’s one thing you should know about 💫 if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that if I’m talking about it? I am about it. ⠀ This Saturday, I’m going LIVE with @betsyaimeec. A fierce writer, advocate, and entrepreneur who has spent almost a decade working as an advocate on behalf of women & girls through roles in the California State Legislature, Planned Parenthood, and non-profits. Her thoughts on politics and culture have been featured in Marie Claire, Vox, The Independent, and more. ⠀ We’re going to get frank and honest about racism in America and how that looks from where we stand. as a Black woman and a Latina woman, how that intersects and what non-Black people of color and white people can do to address their roles in perpetuating racism in 2020. ⠀ if we’re going to get better in this country, then we have to address the issues head on. It’s time out for not having discussions out of fear because they’re uncomfortable, Black people are tired of watching our people die. discomfort is where truth lives. and on the other side of that - is freedom. ⠀ join us this Saturday at noon our hope is that you learn what you can do, get some insight on what you don’t know, and use it to change the world from where you’re standing. ⠀ we’re all in this together? Prove it. ⠀ 〰️ #TheHautemommie #BlackLivesMatter 💫 ⠀
    💫 I’ve seen it said that being Black is exhau 💫 I’ve seen it said that being Black is exhausting. I must disagree. my Blackness doesn’t tire me out. its richness does not make me weary. the regality in my bones is not the thing that makes them ache. nor is it the strength of ancestor’s past coursing through my veins that brings me to my knees. ⠀ “what is it,” you ask? it is the history of this country, that isn’t history at all that is exhausting. the flagrant fouls consistently happening with no regard bringing me sleepless nights and weeping mornings. the inconsistent way rules are applied. constant violence, even the kind that doesn’t always result in death. you see because death, we’re familiar with. we know it well. it’s the violence that persists in casual conversations and interactions combining that with the death? oh that’s an unrelenting ailment all on its own. that is what makes us weary. ⠀ Black people, I hear you. I see you. I feel you. let us not put the burden on our Blackness as the problem. no because your Blackness is beautiful. it is powerful. it stands the tests of time. your Blackness is not draining you, it is not breaking you down. how the world treats us, is. ⠀ in the midst of our pain, i am aiming to remember that this Blackness, is a gift. misunderstood, yes. but invaluable all the same. today may be hard, but we? we are not our brokenness. we are not unworthy, we deserve life. Full. Abundant. And beautiful. ⠀ take care of you today. you deserve it. ⠀ 〰️ #TheHautemommie #BlackLivesMatter #MorningTHautes 💫 ⠀
    💫 I woke up today with the words declare, decre 💫 I woke up today with the words declare, decree, and determine on my heart. on a day that is set apart to remember lives that have been lost, I'm thinking on what we make of the lives we're given. so often we allow the circumstances of our lives DETERMINE what we make of them. ⠀ we give space to the woes and the worries that we're planted inside of us from the time we arrived here. much of who we are isn't even a choice of our own. it's why we find them hard to let go of, or why we figure there are no other options. if the roots are tethered to our hearts and spirits how could different ever be an option? ⠀ but that is why we must DECREE. it is why we have to be intentional about these lives. the reason we have to be aware of weeds that spring up from those roots. and why some of the deeply seeded things require digging up, a removal, to usurp the ways of old. purposeful focus on getting things out of the way that are keeping you from the life you envision. ⠀ i have done that. DETERMINED to get where i want to go. it meant staring demons in the face and telling them, "no more." the tears I've shed in fear that i wouldn't recognize myself anymore have mixed with those i've cried in pain. but I know it was necessary. we talk so much about manifesting what we want. what no one talks about is the the before. ⠀ before the manifestation you've got to declare it so. you've got to make a decree of what it will be, and you've got to determine to get there. i want you to see yourself in me. i want you to know that those dreams that sparkle in your mind are just like mine. they are glimpses of what you are called for. inklings of what is meant for you. ⠀ in honoring lost lives today, remember to take great care of the one you've got, make it everything you desire. live life in 3D. declare. decree. determine. ⠀ and then the manifestation will come. ⠀ ⠀ 〰️ #TheHautemommie #MemorialDay #manifestation 💫
