Orange Moon Lined with Red River

Heavy belly. Titties, a dangling pouch of nerve’s. Tiny bowling balls stuck to the sides of neurotransmitters inside my skull. My body is weak after a long week and my mood is irritable like bowels after red lentils. Clouds looming over sunshine. Face-frowned in a grumpy squeeze. Orange moon lined with red river is coming through. Ugh. Ps: And I get to eat delicious soul food this morning with my family, not too bad. -Gracie

I Ain't No Playa. I Don't Crush Allott

Aah…like the swift ending of a toddler tantrum I’m over my crush now. Yes, I’m 34 and still get crushes sometimes. For anyone that has had a crush on someone the feeling can be confusing because they’re new to you and you aren’t sure of how to act. My crush gave me some tiny perspective on what kind of love I want when I grow up lol! Was sweet. -Gracie

Ancestrial Fight: How Alexis Groggins Survived 6 Bullets

The little lady in the picture is Alexis Goggins, 7 at the time of the photo. As the caption reads she shielded her mother, Selietha Parker from the enraged gunman, that shot a total of 9 bullets into her and her mother in 2007. Alexis screamed at him not to shoot her mother. The 911 responses were a joke here! They call and say there is a possible kidnapping/hostage situation, with a gun and child, and the one operator hangs up, the second says, ” We don’t have a unit available to send.” Our ancestors helped them both survive by putting a fight in that little one, so powerful that they had no choice but to live.
