Blax Hx 2023: Stories & Fairytales

More on Arks and Middle Passages… Who knew the unlearning would seem as though a vice to even ourselves? Who knew it would feel like hell? Have you ever listened to Anita Baker’s ‘Fairytales’. I was afraid of this song as a child; along with ‘Little Walter’ by Toni! Tony! Tone! (I just got theContinue reading “Blax Hx 2023: Stories & Fairytales”

Blax Hx 2023: Battlefields, Arks & Middle Passages

They found her on the battlefield. She looked as though she’d traveled from some far off land. They’d get these types every now and then. Lost Souls is what they called them. But one took a second glance at her right wrist. It did not have the cut that many have. Instead there was aContinue reading “Blax Hx 2023: Battlefields, Arks & Middle Passages”

Being chewed, swallowed.Continue reading “Blax Hx 2023: Care FULL”

Blax Hx 2023: Broken Cages

Once we realize how imprisoned we are…. Only then can we appreciate broken cages Can we admit to the ache in our wings Can we recognize the great importance of a call(in’), its song, and its flight

Blax Hx 2023: ☮️ by ✌🏾

I was born on an army base in Texas. With the word ‘kill’ leading the way – war shielding a precious love. Near borders. In desert-like summer heat. To parents who inherently knew the importance of 2×2; but too young to realize the gravity of the nails placed in wooden boards. Around the corner fromContinue reading “Blax Hx 2023: ☮️ by ✌🏾”
