This is me...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Theory I: flesh & fragment was the most viewed writing of 2019. This came as a surprise bc of its content and length. But as @wendyb.22 says, if people are interested, they will read it. Thanks for reading--even if you didn't finish it😊. . I didn't write a lot this year for kashema.com because this year was one of tests, challenges and trauma. Everytime I went to write it was about the violence against Black bodies. This is the core of Theory I, however, there are glimmers of hope, magic, resistance, nostalgia and tradition😊. . It started out as a final project for my #blackgirlmagic course and as I was told, I do thee MOST 😁 ...Real talk though, it was a passion project and took me a year to finish it (juggling responsibilities and life). It could have been a scholarly publication, but I wanted it my way, which included it being accessible for all with multi-color text and hieroglyphic borders...and Theory II where I featured different women and the figure, Fragment of a Queen's Face that I highlighted in March...OK, maybe, I do be doing the most, but it's lit! Word to CD. (S/o to @riceevans, hit her up for editing.) . So shout out to some of the scholars that informed and inspired both Theory I &Theory II: @ckdigidesign #sylviawynter & #hortensespillers. And once again, thank you for support by reading, sharing, commenting, texting and dm-ing your thoughts...from a girl born and raised in Brooklyn, it means a lot. Thank you💜!!!

A couple weeks ago I had a conversation with a student about his academic performance and as we began to talk, I realized there was a void. I asked him if anyone has ever told him that he was smart and capable of doing amazing things? He said, no. I was shocked, but reassured him that the work he presented proved that he could if he took his time. It's wild how no teacher or guardian in his 16+ years on this earth told him to believe in himself, so you know self-love isn't even a thing.

I'm not even going to @ her, but just know at this very moment, I'm in the lab. It is what it is.

I went through a roller coaster of emotions today because of this young lady. . I'm glad Karol Sanchez is OK, but I dont think baby girl and her homies had any idea how their actions affects others. . To be transparent, my reaction to her hoax was very ghetto Jamaican (read: buss de 'hole ah dem ass, dem cyan jus a perplex people tranquility and get whey. No sah.). Her AND her crew need to be accountable for their actions, but also getting to the "why" is important. The overprotective mother isnt cutting it with me because the way he threw that woman down...and the fact that they didn't stop when she pleaded for her child. Nah man. What's the root of all of this? . Other Black/Brown women and girls are really missing and not getting any media coverage while KS out here making their tragedy an exit strategy and traumatizing her mom. KS needs a serious intervention. . Peace and love to all who were triggered by this incident today. 💛
