Damn! That’s the best he could do was to ride pass me on such a beautiful day, and yell ‘nigger’ out of his window. Cluckers need to get a bit more creative if they must insult black people. I thought, is that the best he got for me and mine? Insensible bastard! -Gracie

First convo after I performed tonight was with an elder from Cameroon. He was moved to tears by my performance. Invited me over to where he was sitting to drink and talk. He said, “you’re much more than you can think right now. My heart was heavy, and now it is light. Your face paint and words took me home, made me feel better. You’re blessed with something special. Thankful for people like you on the earth. I feel good.” Screaming! I was humbled so much by his encouragement and dedication to the Nigerian girls and to our very difficult conversation. We talked for a while about his PhD in agriculture and his daughters and son’s PhD’s too who would be doctors soon. He was so proud of his family. ❤ black people. -Gracie

Frankly, I’m a dyke that phucks men sometimes. And my spirit is too liberated to refrain from exploring them or falling in love with them as I do with women and trans folks. Organic and righteous. Yes please.

And she said, “I just feel so stupid. I don’t understand how I could’ve made such a fool of myself. I know he hates me now.” I told her that making a fool of yourself is surely not the plan, and is most certainly apart of the entire experience. I encouraged her to become familiar with her eccentricities and to be gentle with herself. Life won’t always be like this. They will either meet you on the bridge or not. Young love. Was just thinking after the conversation with young lady that some people will never give of themselves emotionally, no matter how honey sweet you lay it on. Let them to their own pollinating. Let them create their own honey to lay on.-Gracie
