So honored that my memoir piece, Clarity is a Gift (link in bio) is included in this summer-themed issue of @splitlipthemag Looking forward to devouring everyone’s work. Isn’t this art by @camalcas absolutely gorgeous? Posted @withregram • @splitlipthemag Our ☀️SUMMERTIME☀️ issue for Black voices is here!
Thank you for posting this @mohair1 Been missing Pop’s laugh. Last week I played his music for a friend. Then yesterday I was talking to Mom about how you must have got your adventurous eating from him. I remember him talking about hitting up Lexington Market to have raw oysters back when he worked in Baltimore. It’s because of you that I even fux w/ dem joints now 😆 So thankful for my fam. Posted @withregram • @mohair1 Happy Heavenly Birthday to my dad Arnaz Jefferson. All your children are doing fine, rest easy. P.s.This pic is from him on stage with his band CROSS BLOOD
For a non-swimming person I stay perched at the pool (or the beach back when I lived in Cali). Didn’t go last year for obvious reasons. Looking forward to posting up this summer. Btw, I do want to learn how to swim I just gotta get my mind right😩😌 ✌🏾& 💜 #tbt

When I posted about @palatepalette.co the other day I forgot to shout-out @homiehousepress, the folks behind the publishing, who were kind enough to allow me to repost this video😍 Posted @withregram • @homiehousepress 🌈Come thruuuu and look at all this loooooove! 😝40pgs, 26 fotos, full juicy color, in all her 11.5 x 15 inch glory! 🎨👅palatePALETTE is outchea, and we couldn’t be more happy to share her with all of y’all. 🍒Ooo and we forgot to mention the cherry on top, each newspaper comes with a fine art chicken print!🐣💕 sound on to hear even the dogs sing this gorgeous publications praises 🐺 #hhp4eva #palate #palette #baltimore #foodways #chickenrecipes
I wrote “Life’s Simple Pleasures,” illustrated beautifully by @erinutsugah, for @palatepalette.co created by @krystalcmack. This piece is about my love of the chicken box, a particular Baltimore delicacy. To me fried chicken is a comfort food & a traveling food. It takes me back to novels set during the Great Migration, where those heading North were sent on their travels w/ their parcel of food. Please get yourself a copy of this beautiful newsprint. There is poetry, photography, & community in these pages. For more about this project, the other contributors, & to get your copy go to link in my bio.
Thank you for this @nowme, college throwback, prolly lit & really savoring my bubble gum😆 #tbt What were those dorms called on the way to (or right past) facilities?🤔
I am so honored that I will be in conversation w/ author Elizabeth Gilbert next week to discuss her work. Event is hosted by @prattlibrary . You can register to attend via the link in my bio. ✌🏾 & 💜
