“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”

sometimes we are childish. sometimes we do something our 16 year old self would have done, think something our 11 year old self would have thought, cry like our 7 year old self would have cried. why is this so embarrassing? why does it make us feel such shame? when you’re 20, 30, 40, are you not also every age you’ve been before? do all of your previous incarnations not still live inside of you?

I had a dream I was nicki minajs stylist and we were picking out purses and she wanted to choose an ugly one and I told her straight up it was ugly and I was scared for a second but she thanked me for being real

ADVICE FOR 2017

•BE. BLACK. AS. HELL!!!! •EMBRACE THAT BODY! Fat, skinny, thick, whatever your category, EMBRACE IT! And if you aren’t happy with how you look, CHANGE FOR YOU! Not for a man, not for anybody else that has made slick comments about your weight. •BE UNAPOLOGETIC! If you already were, continue. If you weren’t, BE THAT! •STOP APOLOGIZING! For saying what and how you feel. •LEARN HOW YO SAY NO! Without making any excuses •LIVE LIFE! LOVE LIFE! •BE HAPPY! •BE YOU! • LOVE YOURSELF! Not because nobody will love you if you don’t but because that’s the most important thing and the most healthiest thing for you. • PUT A STOP TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING UNHEALTHY! Relationships, friendships, situationships. • DON’T KEEP THOSE EMOTIONS BOTTLED UP! Let it out, talk about it, cry about it, be angry about it, showing emotions is not a sign of weakness it’s a sign of strength

Me in 2017.

concept: 2017 is better. you are cuddling with someone. you are warm. you are loved. you are surrounded by people you care about. you learn to love yourself. you are calm. you find new hobbies. you find yourself.
