So Phillip Scholfield came out as gay and I was in the barber shop...I froze. Psychologist say it’s fight, flight or freeze...I froze as the shop abrupted with laughter, a chorus, of batty man this and batty man that, how batty man is unnatural, batty man should never be head of any spiritual organisation (random one) how batty man should just keep quiet and say nothing. I said nothing as he was cutting my hair, touching my face,invading my space. Me,a batty man! I rarely post and I’m NOT looking for sympathy so please don’t message me lol What I will say is; I need to do better, WE need to better in educating, creating awareness and I guess not freezing. People that are POC and LGBT+ more times than not we unconsciously numb ourselves to be accepted by you. Unconsciously thinking that we can never love or be loved properly cause our very own parents, family disown us in one way or another. That being gay and apparently a black gay man is just about sex in which we self fulfil just to get any sort of intimacy to feel some scrap of love in which deep down we just want from our family. I froze back to young Junior, juju, Jbug. I froze but my God it woke me up. Will I go back to the same barbers in approximately 3 weeks time? Yes! because the sad truth is it would of been the same in any barbers I went in to. #longassppost #dayoff #proud #blackboyjoy #igbo #nigerian #lgbtawareness #lgbt #afterwhile #love #race #infj #poetry #awareness #andioop #changeisgood #2020. #barbershop #thismorning #blackpride

To my dearest sister this is about to be as cheesy AF... Happy 20th birthday Justine aka Justina & Justin💜💜💜💜💜 The year you have had many people would have given up or been sour for a long time. At 19 you were thrusted into something that you did not want but what you did was turn lead to gold you are the truest form of an alchemist. I'm so proud of who you are and I can't wait for the world to know your story. I never knew you can learn from someone so young but you've taught me this year that no matter what speak your fucking truth and sissy that walk. @rupaulsdragrace @thejinkx @ageofaquaria @eurekaohara You need to meet this woman because you got us through some very hard times #dragcon To everyone reading this, meningitis is a serious illness especially to young students at this time (Freshers week) Please please be safe, make sure you're vaccinated, know the symptoms and get help as quickly as possible #sisterlove #brownskingirl #meningitisawareness #birthdaybitch #sissythatwalk #rupaul #family #amypurdy @amypurdygurl #libra #imalibra

I can’t believe it's been a week since Circles was born! I’m still processing, but the journey has taught me so much on the importance of art, community and the importance of talking! In Circles we delved into themes of generational trauma in the black community and I can't speak for the team but it triggered me to really pull back the layers of my own awareness. The feedback and constructive criticism from the day has been so valuable and I truly believe this type of work is important and I say this only because of the rich conversations that happened in the Q&A, and over an hour in the café after! Circles wouldn’t be what it was without the great team I had, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making it happen and to my support system who I love deep. Together we can break the Cycle.
