She was maybe the most famous entertainer of her era. A Jazz Age icon. The first Black woman to star in a major motion picture, 1927’s Siren of the Tropics. A stone cold gorgeous KNOCKOUT. Civil rights pioneer. She refused to sing for segregated audiences. She renounced her U.S. citizenship (born in St Louis, MO) and moved to France, 🇫🇷 where she became an incredibly successful spy for the Allies during WWII and was eventually a key figure in the Resistance movement against France’s Nazi occupiers. She holds the Resistance Medal, Croix de Guerre, was named a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor and eventually inducted into the Pantheon, the first Black woman so named. Beautiful. Brave. Badass. Why aren’t we all wearing her t-shirt or putting her stamp on our letters or watching one of 50 biopics about her? Give this legend her flowers FFS.💐

GOING OUT ALONE

it's nice. you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, whenever you feel like it. today i just felt like eating a big slice of peach earl grey cake and jasmine bergamot basque cheesecake all by myself on a sunday afternoon

heart-to-heart

last night i had a heart-to-heart with a friend/co-worker about our strained friendship. we’d been distancing ourselves from each other for the past year because of some misunderstandings. it made me sad for a while, especially since i was struggling with mental health, so losing a friend felt like a punch in the solar plexus. but then i came to terms with the possibility that we might never talk again, but this acceptance was not out of resentment, just the realization that some friends are not meant to be close friends.  but it all changed yesterday. we didn’t even plan to have that talk, it just came out organically during a casual chat after a long period of no real conversations, just the occasional forced small talk since we see each other at work all the time. this time we talked for hours, like we used to before our falling out, and eventually addressed the elephant in the room. we both realized that we had unknowingly done things that made each other feel unseen and hurt in the past, so we apologized and forgave each other. i’m really glad that we had a heart-to-heart where we could be honest about our feelings without being defensive or blaming each other. it was all about understanding one another, acknowledging our shortcomings, learning from our mistakes, and taking accountability for our actions.    having a heart-to-heart is special. navigating a conflict is uncomfortable, but it’s an opportunity for growth and deeper connection.
