Pick a day any day and take it for yourselves.
A living memoir of my experiences, thoughts, processes of surviving as a Black, queer, single parent; attempting to live a revolutionary life of love, courage, and ancestral wisdom, unrepentant in times of white supremacy, capitalism and hetero-patriarchy, "the big three" according to Junior Burchall.

Oh Mother!!
Big shout and a warm thank you all the folks who mother without ever been given the title; to those who had to mother themselves; to the fathers who mother; the folks that fall inbetween and are too often left behind; to the mothers who aren't with us anymore but will never leave our side; to the almost mothers and the never will be mothers who nurture us near and far; to the mothers who's sons and daughters have been taken too soon by state santioned violence, by patriarchy and by white supremacy; To the Mothas who vogue, who care for the motherless within our community, to the Trans women who Motha and Modah and Mother, I see you; and I thank you all for inspiring me to being the best revolutionary mother I can be.
Pick a day any day and take it for yourselves.
