Starting over at my new tumblr: MamaGotTheJuice :)
We’re not the same person we were a year ago, a month ago, or a week ago. We’re constantly changing; experiences don’t stop. That’s life.

“No one talks about that: what it means to be black and have an education or talk a certain way or think a certain way. It’s like everyone wants to put you into a box, including people who are African American. Like, ‘You gotta be this to be black, you gotta have tattoos, you gotta be a rapper,’ and trying to define our culture, which has been a difficult thing for us. So we try to install all these fake cultures which is pretty much bullshit. I’m glad that something touched on that and really understood that it’s a multiplicity thing. When you meet people, you automatically come up with assumptions about them. That’s natural, that’s a human thing. But those assumptions, I think, could be rooted more in reality. We could open it up a little bit, and I think movies like Dope serve that kind of purpose, making you second guess what you thought at face value.” x
