This Thursday in Philly! →
AFTER 10 YEARS as one of the leading names in spoken-word poetry, Bassey (pronounced B-ah-see) Ikpi is retiring from the spotlight. But before the Nigerian-born Ikpi - who performed with Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam on HBO and on tour - officially throws in the towel, she’ll take her show, “Basseyworld Live,” to Time on Thursday for one last go.

Repost: Katrina, Kennedy and the King of Pop
atrina, Kennedy, King of Pop (word to alliteration)
I’m not sure if I have more than a haiku or two in me for MyPoWriMo. I’m feeling too heavy for too many reasons this morning and I’m tired of writing the same things to no end. I won’t stop it if it starts but I won’t push it if it’s not there.
A few years ago, I was packing to leave Brooklyn for the first time. On my way to surgery in DC. In...

The goal is to be unafraid when you love. To turn your shoulder towards the winds and push on. To be relentless in your pursuit of it. To be fearless and unafraid.
We are so bold in anger and confrontation and so scared and meek in love. Quick to tell someone off or to give them a piece of your mind. Slow to place your heart in their hands and say, “Take care of this.” Fear is a trigger. I...

I can no longer bear the mood swings, so I'm isolating more and more. I don't have insurance,so I wanted to see if u knew of any resources. I know that I should be able to research and find resources myself. I lack the energy and will to...

Can’t come fast enough.
Twitter gets more and more ridiculous by the second.
Anonymous messages
I allow them because sometimes people want to ask me about mental health stuff and don’t want to reveal their names. I also get really rude, mean, stupid messages but I just block/delete and keep it pushing.
It’s frustrating though because sometimes I want to message THEM (the nice ones) privately to find out what’s going on and I can’t.

Question For Les Twins Fans
Who is Bobby Mileage to the boys? I thought he was their manager but a. he can’t say their name (LEZ twins, Bobby? Really?) and b. someone messaged me before that their manager was a woman that she’d met.
So who is Bobby Mileage? I know he designs some shirts and he’s a dancer of some sort too and he’s got adorable little babies. He kinda gives me a shady vibe though. Like...
