They’re deathless and precise. They have the power of giving you joy and perspective in hard times. Or, they can strangle you. Define you in a way that’s based more in other people’s tucked-up perceptions than truth.” “I am a dark-skinned woman. Culturally, there is a spoken and unspoken narrative rooted in Jim Crow. It tells us that dark-skinned women are simply not desirable. All the attributes that are attached to being a woman-desireable, vulnerable, needing to be rescued-don't apply to us. In the past we've been used as chattel, fodder for inhumane experimentation, and it has evolved into invisibility.” ― Viola Davis, Finding Me *Stranger than Fiction: * Follow up on Shinzo Abe Assassination: https://www.npr.org/2022/07/09/1110674313/japan-shinzo-abe-assassination-what-we-know KC pastor berates congregation over watch: https://nowthisnews.com/news/pastor-berates-broke-congregation-for-neglecting-to-buy-him-a-luxury-watch Warning: Adult Content & Language, please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded.
