I believe if the system is the problem, then it is up to each of us to deconstruct ourselves to know ourselves and to recover, and restore our divine laws and natural order for self and collective governance. A new system (or systems) that prioritizes life and sustainability is the means necessary for all of us to be free. Because if the rights of Black folks, queer folks, and women and girls are threatened, the rights of everyone are threatened. No one is exempt from being collateral damage or shackled by the chains of oppression.

Talking about mental health, let alone connecting to related resources, hasn’t always been met with a warm embrace in our community. Yet, I’m grateful that has changed. I am beaming with pride as I see more melanated folks working to end stigma. With this month’s post, I’m sharing my reflections on the Naptown Narratives Season Four premiere.

From a very early age I’ve been fascinated by street culture, specifically the world of selling drugs and sex. Playas, Macks, Gangstas, Dancers, Tricks, and Pros…they all seemed to call to me. Whether on the screen or in real life, I was impressed with how they were able to make impossible circumstances work for them.
