TMVII: The Rise of the Motherfucking Mange
It’s a new STI out here y’all and it’s called TMVII. Or as I lovingly call it, the motherfucking mange. Now I know actual mange is something dogs get, but listen… I’m a writer with a vivid imagination and this new shit got “quarantine the blankets and boil the draws” energy. It causes painful lesions,…

Bronzeville: Where the Great Migration Learned to Breathe
There are cities within cities. And then there’s Bronzeville— not just a neighborhood, but a testimony. To understand Bronzeville, you have to walk backward through time, into the long shadow of the Great Migration—that massive, sacred movement of Black folks who packed up their lives in the South and headed north with nothing but grit,…

The Gospel of Money and Clout
All though Black folks love to claim religion, a whole lot of these motherfuckers ain’t really worshipping God. Let’s tell the truth and shame the devil. And let me say this before somebody starts clutching pearls: I’m not even a religious person at all. Never claimed to be. But one thing I do recognize from…

Shysters in Sheep’s Clothing
In light of the recent allegations against Cheyenne Bryant, I think it’s time we had a serious conversation about the rise of self-proclaimed “experts” who don’t know their asses from a hole in the wall. Social media has created an entire economy built on confidence, not competence. Folks gather a ring light, memorize a few…

The House Patriarchy Built
I’ve noticed something interesting while cruising the social media streets. Men are fed up with patriarchy but are too clueless to realize it. They complain about burnout, depression, isolation, lack of purpose, fear of failure, impossible expectations, and emotional emptiness — but instead of blaming the system that created those conditions, they blame women. They’ll…

The Policing of Black Female Sexuality: A History Written on Our Bodies
There is something deeply exhausting about living in a world where your body is never simply your own. For Black women, sexuality has never been allowed to exist in peace. It has been surveilled, dissected, judged, legislated, mocked, feared, exploited, and weaponized for centuries. Black female sexuality exists under a microscope built by racism, patriarchy,…

Penis Envy🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
The phrase “penis envy” comes from early psychoanalytic theory—specifically from Sigmund Freud, who introduced it in the early 20th century. Let’s break it down plainly, without the academic fog. What Freud meant by it Freud believed that during early childhood development (around ages 3–6), girls become aware that boys have a penis and they don’t.…
