I am comfortable in my skin, wide hips, high ass and round breast. I have never had much of a waist but I am comfortable in my skin. Am I happy in it? Not always, but I am thankful to the Creator for the body She has given me. It is powerful, it [...]
FROM THE HORSES MOUTH: Little BLK Boys & The Mandingo Complex by Lee Bynum
One of my very favorite moments in my seventh grade Latin class was when gladius appeared on our vocabulary list. Fiend for classics that I was, my recognition of the term’s full genealogy sent shivers of paroxysmal horniness down my twelve-year-old spine. Could it be that Ms. Pomfrey was actually sanctioning an in-classroom discussion of my very [...]

I tried because I am working on getting to comfortable, useful, productive outside my own bubble, fabulosity. I tried to relate [...]
The Black & Brown Divide
I happily live in a hood that is about 80% Latin. I value the weird juxtapositions that present themselves in my community. The backdrop of bodegas, chuletas with the dollar store Bamboo earrings, the old man and his son who blare bachata while beating their congas. Watching my little daughter wind her hips to the [...]
