Today I picked up food from @merakitchencollective, which I would never have known about had it not been for @krystalcmack project @palatepalette.co ✨✨Y’all when I tell you this food is so good, I’m not playin. My palate is so excited by the depth of flavors, & I am nourished. Be sure to follow them.

Reading a snippet of my essay linked in bio. ✨☺️✨ Posted @withregram • @splitlipthemag Watch Cija Jefferson read from her piece "Clarity is a Gift"—then read the whole thing in our ☀️SUMMERTIME☀️ issue for Black voices! https://splitlipthemag.com/memoir/0621/cija-jefferson
Sunday vibes☀️ I wrote a piece, Clarity is a Gift, about summer 2019 & 2020. It opens like this, “Summer 2019 was like the opening to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s “Summertime,” full of heat and anticipation. My hot girl summer.” You can read the rest at the link in my bio. I even have a mini-playlist that accompanies it. Don’t stop there, check out the other summer-themed poems, stories , & essays in @splitlipthemag too! ✌🏾 & 💜
