"Yeahhhhh...you know when you're the only people of color in the room and everybody looks at you to see if you're going to start a race riot over some shiggity?" --OneChele over at BougieLand^Let's not even talk about how many times this happens to me. Except scratch person of color and replace it with "Black/Brown" person, because this happens to me when I'm around a bunch of Asians as well.
Inside the mind of a kind of quirky, pretty stubborn, way too opinionated, twenty-something, heteroflexible Black female newly employed up-and-moved-to-DC Princeton GRADUATE who's just trying to sort out her life. An uninhibited celebration of all that is me, this blog is an exercise in self-discovery and live-with-your-heart-wide-open-ness. Though I make respect a habit, I will not always be politically correct, and I believe in the power of making audiences uncomfortable to inspire change.
