Got a phone call saying Kai is also on Bossip’s website.

Mentoring a socially conscious youth poet means..

Dealing with their thoroughly formed and passionate opinion(s) on topics most people their age haven’t even begin to consider/realize exist. 

Some problems we share as women, some we do not. You [white women] fear your children will grow up to join the patriarchy and testify against you; we fear our children will be dragged from a car and shot down in the street, and you will turn your backs on the reasons they are dying.

Book Art By Jonathan Wiley, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.

——-

While the art is amazing, it pains me to see old books being destroyed and not preserved. I have a weird “Book of Eli” paranoia. 

The artwork AND Sharv’s commentary. I appreciate both. Aint I a Libra?

Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living - and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are being while you are doing whatever you are doing.
