Aight so boom. . Here I am. Gray hair peeking out Aight so boom.
.
Here I am. Gray hair peeking out from under this beanie, feeling grown and not just because of the gray hairs or because I know every word to that Anita Baker record behind me, but because I find myself in a moment in my life where I feel limitless. I'm feeling real "who gone stop me, Boo?" and the only answer is "Nobody, except me."
.
I started my second semester teaching at Duke last week. I'm teaching two courses: Black Feminist Theory and Queer Theory. So yes, I'm teaching what I do and it's feeling good to be doing the work while teaching it as well.
.
The research phase for my next book has begun and it feels so good to be in the thick of it. In the thick of making the theory felt.
.
I'm moisturizing. I'm loving. And this year, I am diving deep into Sweetness. Making my life sweet, my tea sweet, and spending my time being sweet to the people I love.
.
Last thing, is that this time of year, the MLK Jr. holiday, is special to me for a lot of reasons. I hope you are spending the day making a dream come true for yourself.
Listen... 👀 . 2023 better act right. I ain't g Listen... 👀 
.
2023 better act right. I ain't got time for no foolishness.
.
I'm writing my next book and I don't need no weapons formed against me because I'm out here trying to prosper!
.
"One thing I know two things for certain" (Megan Thee Stallion 2021) 2023 ain't bout catch me slippin' and my cup overfloweth with love so I'm certain that if I do slip and/or slide "like I'm from the 305" (Cardi B 2018), I will have help to pick my face up off the floor.
.
Happy New Year 👀
Aight so boom . Made it through my first bout of C Aight so boom
.
Made it through my first bout of COVID. COVID is whack, but them antivirals was hitting and so were the calls and sweet messages folks sent to check in on me. 
.
Thinking deeply about how I wrote a paper about Megan last year for the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology that explains Megan's treatment in public, particularly in black public spaces. It remains highly relevant. It's called "Ratchet Black Lives Matter: Megan Thee Stallion, Intra-Racial Violence, and the Elusion of Grief." I'm happy to share if you DM me. 
.
Enjoying my fresh face as much as my red lipsticks these days. It is such a delight to love and like yourself. Get into it.
.
This Fall was big, emotional, and full of new new growth. I'm immensely grateful for this growth. I'm enjoying this woman I'm becoming. She is going to have a hell of a memoir.
.
You know the best thing about growing? Having good friends around rooting for you to shed that layer of self that no longer serves you. Shout out to my homies for keeping me grounded and sane. Yall some real ones.
.
I'm spending the last few days of December in deep contemplation about my intentions for the next year. How do you cap your year?
Happy Halloween 🦇 from the aerobics studio of J Happy Halloween 🦇 from the aerobics studio of Jaquana Fonda.
.
I love all Tricks and Treats (including candy corn).
Aight so boom... . I'm in Durham yall. Like that' Aight so boom... 
.
I'm in Durham yall. Like that's where I reside. Durham is growing on me. I like it here.
.
My office is cute. The end of the summer was cute. This fall in North Carolina is cute.
.
I was feeling low today and was reminded of the words of Megan Thee Stallion, "Bad bitches have bad days too." So I phoned a friend, and did something sweet for myself.
.
So much is going right for me that even when things feel hard, because they absolutely are, I have enough good stuff going on to be able to rest in gratitude.
.
You ever just feel loved? I do. Right now. I have so many people who love me and care for me and cherish me. Yall know who you are and yall some real ones.
.
Is it me or is everyone getting more emails? I get too many emails. And actionable ones. Like I have to do something with the email. Is Mercury in AOL right now?
