Um, I know I'm, I'm a bit of a mess sometimes, but, uh, I know what it's like to grieve.
I know what it's like to need a close community.
I know what it's like to really want to be a part of a community and lend a helping hand.
And I think that's what we're all doing here.
So, uh, much love to everybody and I'll see you guys later.
I wouldn't be anything but.
Even knowing everything that I know, if somebody gave me a choice, I would come back blacker than black.
I love my people, but I hate, I hate that this country doesn't love us.
Black hate is global.
And it's very exhausting and it's hard.
And even when you think that you have people that are going to hold on to you tight and they don't, it's heartbreaking.
I haven't lost any of my children.
I've lost my brother, I've lost my two grandmothers.
And as I was telling the chat, when my mother's mom died, I was pregnant with my daughter.
And the only thing that I could think the entire time that I was there is that she was going to be the only one of my children that my grandmother didn't get to kiss on the forehead and do that little thing.
I'm from New Orleans, and it's just a special thing to have your mama
kiss your children on the forehead and give them that love when they first arrive.
And, um, it's been a hard week for me.
My brother passed away.
His birthday was July 13th.
