It is true that I only want to show off to women. Women alone stir my imagination.

How I Learned to Love My Skin Colour - The Toast

Here’s my thesis/personal essay that’s finally been posted. It’s about how I struggled with colourism, finding the right makeup, and dealing with arseholes fetishizing and rejecting me based on my colour. I’m so glad it went to The Toast, it’s niche and I’ve received some really supportive comments from it. Let me know how you like it, or if you don’t too!

It’s this, ultimately, that is going to get the most attention. Praise, from those of us excited to see any club of all-white all-men rendered extinct, whether that’s late-night television or, you know, the presidency. But criticism, too: The tenor of conservative criticism of “The Daily Show” is about to get very, very ugly.

Finally received my copy of this funkadelic bible by @fourdk, with a very sweet mention of my old blog!
