an effective protest until it achieves solidarity” (H.G.
Wells).SHOUT OUT TO MY INBETWEENERS:“You’re a black girl. You like
indie music, you dress differently than your peers but you aren’t
quite “Afro punk” enough. You watch anime, read graphic novels but
you aren’t quite “nerdy” enough. You read Nylon mag, paper mag,
etc and like what you see, but hate that you never see a brown face.
Your taste is eclectic, your style is eclectic, and you can’t be put
in a category. If you’ve ever wondered where you belong or what you
are, I have the answer. You’re a LIONESS ”.-Shop LIONESSGUSH ABOUT
YOUR CRUSH!“This is going to be a new permanent series on the blog.
I hate that feeling when you really like someone but for some reason
or another you just can’t tell anyone about it. I remember when I
told my friends about this boy I liked when I was in middle school and
they gave me a hard time about it because he was white. I just wished
I had friends I could gush about these crushes with who wouldn’t
judge me and would just allow me to just get it all out. I’m giving
you all the opportunity to do that. No advice will be given (unless
you ask). Just allowing y’all to vent, gush, whatever. It doesn’t
even have to be serious. Could be some dude in class. A boy you see on
the subway all the time on your way to work. A coworker. Your best
friend. Some girl in your art class. Whatever! Crush Stories Here
