Conversations with Little People
I am trying to teach my 11 year old sister
how to grow her body out of being ungainly.
She ignores her father’s phone calls now.
She stares at the phone,
reposition of eyes,
pretends that he is speaking hieroglyph language
and tells our other sister to tell him that she is just living.
Rafayah, our youngest sister says “Daddy, she says she’s fine”.

To the Next Lover Who Will Call me Heartless
You have to understand:

When a woman asks you
to play seamstress with her lungs

Oh, shit.
My sister wants to have a Bat Mitzvah.
This … will be interesting. I didn’t have one because I didn’t give a fuck but apprarently she gives a significant amount of fuck and wants us to respect the fuck she’s giving and my mom is not going to say no I mean like DUH so I guess she’s getting a Bat Mitzvah.
Secretly - I think she’s doing it just to get a party....

I want people to stop asking that I go natural.
I want people to stop criticizing my decision NOT to go natural.
Most of my friends are natural. They are beautiful. I support them.
HOWEVER,
though it is most definitely an option for me (as it is for any black woman),
