    Most of the narrative I’ve seen today is surrounding mental health issues centers white voices, and that’s cool. But just remember in a lot of communities of color we’re taught to hide and ignore mental health issues even more so because it’s One More Thing.

    Everyone deals differently, but for me having people reach out, share their own experiences, and ask how I am and genuinely want to know the truth—that has meant the whole world.

    It's hard because that's not what you're supposed to say. It's hard because you don't think you have the right to feel that way. It's hard because you immediately know you're a burden.

    So, so appreciative of everyone sharing mental health experiences today, both on Twitter and in private. This is the year I've really come to terms with my own mental health issues. One of the hardest things I've had to do is admit I'm not okay.

    The year after my dad died was so bad I don't remember 90% of it. I moved to a new apt and was unable to unpack. For MONTHS. I was ashamed I couldn't unpack. How can you be UNABLE to unpack? Just open the g.d. boxes. That was the year I cried for 19 days. Straight. /1

    Sometimes the little things in the day are so hard to get through, and news like this week's makes it that much worse. It's okay not to be okay. Sending lots of love to all you beautiful Twitter people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I'm leading an effort at to build a public database of women, people of color and/or nonbinary media experts, because none of us are quoting enough of these folks in our stories. Help out?

    haunted house idea: print out all of the tweets I've drafted then deleted while incredibly anxious and string them along a dimly lit hallway

    This is a PSA for those in and out of our community: Pride exists because of a woman. Pride exists because of a black woman of color. Pride exists because black trans woman of color. Pride exists because of a black trans woman of color who was a sex worker.
