×Oh, when a Mucinex Booger provides you with a commentary to a question that was never asked, it can only mean one thing, misogynoir is at work. This week's offender is Mr. Aries Spears - who recently found himself in the crosshairs of #ubw's minding their own businessessssss on the innanets. The walking bruise informed us that it was not in our interests to wear what he calls "pterodactyl wings" on our faces. These dinosaur references are in response to the false eyelashes that many women wear. Although seemingly innocuous, Mr. Spears felt it necessary to single out the Sistahs in his unsolicited commentary. When examined deeper, it is another example of the "right" many feel they have to comment on the Black Woman's Body and her choices, from eyelashes, to hair, to weight. When these comments are couched in humor, the misogynoir of it, often slides right past us. But I see you, Aries, Chris, Kevin, and Dave. And I say, (and I know my fellow #ubw will join me), I.Don't.Give.A.Fux.What.You.Say.Bout.Me." Now, someone go grab my pterodactyl wings, I got a plane to catch to Miami.

We not fuxing with dis-respeck this week or anymore my fellow #ubw. It's a word that remains front and center when there is a discussion regarding the relationships between Black Women and Black Men - often when there is a rebuke of the toleration of disrespect, mistreatment, or abuse, be it of the seemingly innocuous kind ("I don't date Black Women") to the incredibly violent kind (of the Diddy variety). Thus, I found it most fascinating that when researching articles regarding the tensions surrounding "respect" when it comes to Black peoples, the quote that continued to be referenced by many, was one attributed to Malcolm X, where he says: "The most disrespected person in America, is the black woman. The most un-protected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America, is the black woman." Hence it is unsurprising that when the Black Woman says, no longer will she be dis-respected, it comes as a shock to those so use to disrespecting her. It is actually quite wild. So wild, that ninjas demand respeck even in toothless and homeless forms! Well, if that is the case, you can catch this #ubw doing push-ups on the pole and sending those pics on a family group chat.

We are revisiting an earlier episode, and it is apropos. The dusty a** sons are partcluarly mite covered these days. From the ninja whom I deny knowing to America's "leaders" (I see you Byron Donalds) - the paupers in too large King's clothing continue to beat their chests while leaving a trail of unacknowledged disaster in the background. Mamas I come back to you, please, for the love of all things holy, Get.Your.Dusty.Ass.Sons! ******************************************************************************************* The sh*t we not fuxing with today is dusty a** sons! Mothers, please retrieve them, so they are not sent out into the world to terrorize Uppity Black Women. Today we examine a recent viral internet story that would be a full on comedic special if it was not colored with a possibly premeditated burglary, gaslighting, misogynoir, and a dusty a** son. Today we go deep into the story of fellow Uppity Black Woman, Ms. Alexis Douge, of "tabi swiper" fame. Ms. Douge was unfortunately victim to a theft of incredibly expensive shoes. The theft was perpetrated by a dusty a** son she met on Tinder. After engaging in a consensual sexual relationship with this dusty a** son, the dusty a** son proceeded to steal Ms. Douge's very expensive shoes. When questioned about the theft, the dusty a** son then proceeded to gaslight Ms. Douge, stating that he did not steal the shoes, and only admitted to the theft after Ms. Douge put out an APB on the internets and was able to secure a photo of the dusty a** son's girlfriend wearing the stolen footwear. Nonsense all around. While on the surface this whole scenario is tinged with humor, the underlying issues presented here are quite disturbing, and frankly, we should all be frightened. Today we will discuss the vitriol directed towards Ms. Douge, although she was the one violated. This vitriol is based in themes of misogynoir as Ms. Douge's choice to have casual sex, as an Uppity Black Woman, flies in the face of the required policing of the Black Woman's body and sexuality, thus any harm that befell Ms. Douge post this sexual encounter was indeed "deserved" by her. Additionally, we examine the delivery of the shoes to the girlfriend of the dusty a** son. While none of us are privy to the conversation regarding the delivery of the used shoes, what does it say about our acceptance of the minimum in relationship. Are we b*tches that are good with used shoes from our partners? If we accept used shoes, why the fux would anyone get us new ones?! Most importantly we discuss how do dusty a** sons become dusty a** sons! Mothers, you know your son is dusty around 10 years old. As parents, we are responsible for ensuring that we provide our children with the tools they need to be functional members of society. If your kid is dusty, do get them the help they need so they do not end up terrorizing society in general and my daughter specifically.

I'll tell you what we we are not fuxing with, and that is Juneteenth or Father's Day. For the record, the people asked to not be executed at random, and they were provided with a day off from work. Any holiday in which a local school district can switch to a more "convenient" day is not a real holiday. Yes, I said it. We not fuxing with Father's Day either in this 2024. Mine is on punishment, and the ninja whom I deny ever knowing, uses the moniker "king." Le sigh. While clearly this is not the real world, this should not cause anyone's liberation journey to cease. I've been off collecting new items for my table, always pleasantly surprised at my finds which make for the most delicious of feasts. Cole Arthur Riley's liturgies always catch me in a way that take me deep inside. These days I'm unsure if it's the therapy, the medicine, or the pole. Whatever it is, I welcome it. But before we get all emo, another nonsense return of valuables by Mr. Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy aka Puff aka Diddy aka Love (eye roll). Mayor Eric Adams, I'm looking right at you. I mean, is a key to the city actually useful? Oh Negro please.

1:02:11We have a whole lot to catch up on, so we fuxing with a great deal today. We are close to the halfway mark for the year. What dedicated routines have you committed to in order to get some of the promises you made to YOU happen? What do you do when you fall off your routine (there should be a resounding - "get yo' ass back up" from the audience)? We also catching up on that Ninja and the nonsense that we co-sign on. Namely, the necessity of requiring a video before a decision is made to disassociate and return $$$. The people need to see #ubw dehumanized on the camera before they deem it worth it to denounce the devil. Howard University, I see you. But the meat of today's discussion is on tenderness and the mamas. Mine is still on punishment, but I've given her clear direction on how to get out of the time out corner. This is new for me, truth telling about what I need to feel loved from my mama. Who knew it would make the people so uncomfortable. But before we get all up in our feelings, even pulling out the DIC-TION-ARY to define tenderness, it's Pride Month ya'll, and Ms. PepperMint said: Put a Dollar in My Tit**e, Put a Dollar in My Tit**e!!

We fuxing with Black Mothers and Black Daughters today (or maybe not). The fractures between them are conversation topics covered in the annals of sociology, psychology, the chucch, and our homes. It is complex. The relationship with mine has been brought into full relief as I assess its shaky foundation. Mired by the cultural mores that say to have a vagina makes one less than - whose fault is it when the women are complicit in their own demise. This question keeps coming up as I consider why I get more upset with the mothers than I do with the fathers. I know now why - it is because I look to the mothers for protection, yet I feel that it is the mothers who throw us to the wolves. It is counter to the story that is told of the innate "love" that a mother bestows upon her children. My experience has not been one of love, but rather one of care (and great care indeed) and feeding. Care is a foundational element for love, but it is not love. And because we have made the words care and love mean the same, the clash of the Black Mother and Black Daughter is unsurprising - our languages are different. I ask for a love that is routine, a love that sees me, acknowledges and protects. Routine love is not an extraordinary ask. But before we go there, we will celebrate the #ubt (Uppity Black Teens) in my life. Showing them routine love in myriad ways - including ensuring that their legs do not get itchier than they already are.

We not fuxing with Diddy. Just no, we will not make it about him. But rather, what is it that the #ubw needs to sever the ties in these abusive relationships? When I consider the through line of when it is that people are more open to having conversations related to domestic violence against women, specifically Black Women, it is when the victim of the abuse, be it physical, emotional, verbal, or financial, speaks truth about it. Consider the abuse experienced by Rihanna (Chris Brown), Meghan Thee Stallion (Torey Lanez), Reesa Teesa (Legion), Cassie (that ninja 1), myself (that ninja 2), the ties that bind sever when the truth is told about it. But what happens after Sis speaks truth? Who has opened up their hands and their hearts to support Sis in feeling whole again.

I guess we were not fuxing with Mother's Day this year? With a recognition that this holiday can be painful for many, this particular Mother's Day was a reflective one for me. In this season in which I challenge all the things in which I have been trained to believe, the issue that continues to rear its head is the value (or lack thereof) that is placed on my motherhood based on my attachment to a man. Meaning, while I consider myself an amazing mother - I mean, the Uppity Black Girl in my training program (#ubg), is beyond reproach. Yet, in this moment, those closest to me are unable to acknowledge my excellence in single mother parenting because culture will not allow it. Culture has so trained them to think that single mothering is an abomination - putting it on the level of incest and mass murder. So what is a #ubw to do. Nothing. This is a matter that is easily solved. It is unnecessary to look outward to know what my value is.

We fuxing with rest, in all its forms, because #ubw is exhausted. We are literally waiting to exhale. And if you are a #ubw of a certain age, you are most likely living the movie: Waiting to Exhale . The deep breaths continue. When we do back to back episodes related to the mistreatment, the humbling, the disdain, the disrespect, the persecution - the list continues (MISOGYNOIR).... we get tired. So today we focus on the things that rejuvenate us, and we fuxung with the seven forms of rest - and all of them are critical to our well being. Leave it to a #ubw to have written THE book on sacred rest. Let me correct that, and put some respek on a Sisters name. It was DR. Saundra Dalton-Smith's book, Sacred Rest Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity that outlined these forms. For the uninitiated like myself, the Seven Forms of Rest are: Mental Creative Social Spiritual Physical (Active & Passive) Sensory Emotional Certainly the Sistas coming to Dr. Dalton's office, displayed every type of "#ubw is tired and stressed" illness. I am certain the common refrain Dr. Dalton heard was: Dr. Dalton, I'm exhausted . I feel like that is the catch phrase I hear from my homegirls, on repeat. It is also something that I am saying to them, on repeat (a b'tch is so fuxing tired, she goes to bed at the hair salon). It's not the tired associated with running marathons, but it is the tiredness associated with the external assaults, the draining requirements, the constant battles to be ourselves. All a #ubw wants to do is watch Amanda Seales' guide to fux-boys, chill with my homegirls, and curse a n*gga out from time-to-time (cursing n*ggas out from time to time IS a form of emotional rest - who knew!)

My therapist tells me that I take a great deal of deep breaths during our sessions. I know why - its exhausting navigating the world as a card carrying member of the #ubw club. The people are out in full force, letting us know that misogynoir is here to stay, so my Sisters, be ready. From Amanda Seales, to whom so much disdain is pointed, to Marilyn Mosby, looking at potentially 40 years for some BullSh*t, to Angel Reese wearing rags in an empty room when introduced to the world as a member of the WNBA, to me, whose cultural mores still aim to hem me up, even when I no longer wear the title of "child" or the "exalted" wife. To say a b*tch is ti-red, does not capture it accurately. The through line of all of these is a Black Woman who lives in truth. Amanda says the things that Black folks playing "palatable" are not going to like - including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, colorism, and fux-boys. Marilyn Mosby had the audacity to move forward with prosecuting the six police officers who killed Freddie Grey in 2015. The audacity of this #ubw to seek justice for a Black Man during the time period when it was free reign to kill us (we had a respite back in 2020/2021 - its back to free reign for anyone confused about our current time period). Angel Reese, dared claim she was a beast on the basketball court (she is), and when her team did not take the top spot and she felt that sting emotionally, she was punished, because of course, #ubw cannot display a range of feelings - ya'll not ready for it. Well, what is a #ubw to do - keep fuxing talking truth - despite the punishment.

We fuxing with lust today, well tangentially fuxing with lust. What we really fuxing with is #ubw liberation and empowerment, and actually saying fux that definition of lust as "disordered." In my God girl and Goddess girl ways, I often find myself in conflict with some tenets of the Catholic Church. A recent homily that focused on the "Seven Deadly Sins," spent an inordinate amount of time highlighting the "deadly" sin of lust as the most damaging to humanity. The dictionary definition of lust is: enjoyment of an inordinate amount of sexual pleasure . Hmmm? What is an inordinate amount? Without that definition, anything pleasurable, whether obtained through sexual activity or otherwise, becomes taboo, suppressed, and denied. When I examine this suppression pre pole journey (every #ubw needs a spin around the pole) and now, it is not coincidental that the pleasure found in sensual body movement and watching the sensual body movement of other women, has integrated itself with other aspects of my life - and the people feel it. Thus, I am able to see with clarity it is the accentuation of my femininity and sexuality that draws the people in. So, if what we have been doing from the beginning - minimizing the pleasurable things - do you know what are the "pleasurable" things that can take you to that next level up? Is it that slim gold bracelet on your delicate ankle on a hot summer day while you wear your strappy sandals? The flutter you feel when you slightly cross those ankles, and see that bracelet. That feeling that is evoked, and you just know - can't nobody fux with you. Imagine for 40+ years you have denied yourself this joy all because this expression is tied to premarital sexual pleasure. I know...the connection is simply bizarre. But that is what the Chuuch said: Ankle bracelet = Whore. Sis, ain't it wild you could have been a bad b'tch this whole time?

We fuxing with rage and pleasure today. This rage card keeps showing up and this rage indeed is warranted. The way the world comes at the #ubw, it is a wonder we have not all ended up in the clink. Instead we have trained ourselves to suppress these feelings and move forward with plastic smiles. We need no physician to tell us that suppression of feeling will not end well. The reinforcement of the suppression of true feeling bleeds into all aspects of our lives. Thus the version the world receives of us is one that is a lie, one that is not trustworthy, and the only #ubw I want in my life - are ones that I can trust. So how can we feel our feelings, and let rage work for us? This is found through engagement in activity that is pleasurable (which is separate and distinct from sexual). We deny ourselves pleasure, and in that denial our lives are not ones based in truth -thus easier to manipulate. Ruha Benjamins recent speech at Spelman College, makes this clear. Audre Lorde in her essay, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power , makes this clear. Chic-Fil-A, Trump, the Sistas, and Atlanta make this clear. Diamond and Silk of Trump fame, make this crystal clear! How does one reject the status quo, the expectation of the denial of pleasure? Why does the world require #ubw deny herself pleasure? It is because, a #ubw empowered from her seat of power, which is one that moves to the rhythm of what feels good, is so.fuxing.dangerous.

Me and the legions of #ubw who have been silent for so long, most definitely are not fuxing with misogynoir. At least we must be intentional in our attempts to not be complicit actors. It would be unfair to jump to Diddy and the minefield of misogyny that is hip-hop, without examining my own participation given my love of hip-hop - the more vulgur, misogynostic, the better! I know - it is contradictory. However, if I say I am living a life of alignment, that everything that I say and do are a match, then having on repeat a Ricky Rozay song that includes a line that in effect is equivalent to: "Drop that p***y b***h" is in direct juxtaposition to whatever I said before, thereby rendering my words....BS! Imma ease into that elimination of Ricki and the rest from my hip-hop lexicon. But before we get there, life stays filled with joyful disasters. Settling into that as the feeling is incredibly uncomfortable. I can experience the joyful highs of watching my daughter flourish and blossom into this amazing #ubw in training. I watch her at the same time I have to process the disastrous nature of how my ex-husband continues to poke the delicate protective membrane my daughter and I have wrapped around ourselves. For some, the disastrous times appear to overshadow the joyful ones, and its enough to cause one to be broken. I am beyond grateful for the legion of #ubw that allow me to unburden during those times. Sis, my prayer for you is that you have that same legion.

We outside. We outside. We on Spring Break ya'll, but this #ubw still has something to say. Confusion is one of the things that I don't like to fux with. I enjoy clarity about what is happening around me, so that I can properly assess situations. Unfortunately, the luxury of clarity regarding understanding - why is it, that when we think about Black Women - the emotional and physical harm that befalls us- we accept that that mistreatment is just par for the course? It's confusing (but not surprising) that it feels as if the only people who want us alive is us. President John "Basic" Mosely has been reinstated as the head of Lincoln University, after an independent investigation concluded that there was no wrongdoing linking him to the unfortunate death by suicide of Dr. Candia-Bailey. Basic Mosely put back as head of a whole HBCU traslates to: #ubw: We.Don't.Give.A.Fux.Bout.'cha ! Le Sigh. Confused, but not surprised. The confusion but lack of surprise is why we see a ninja like Diddy still outside. How the dude still on the instagrams when women (and men) have been beaten, raped, sex trafficed, maimed, blown up! When we let monsters roam free, we too become a little bit of a monster, cause we let them go free. Karma will continue to be a bitch to Diddy - and unfortunately this is bitch that he won't be able to fux. But before we get there - we revisit a delightful Friday night in which my Sisters and I, my fellow #ubw, were fed good food. This is food that you cannot buy in a store, but the food, the nourishment, that is based in the loving kindness of other Black Women - the only ones who care enough that we are alive. So be spontaneous, what are you waiting for? What you and your homegirl doing tonight?

We fuxing with Karma, Kevin, and the Krown (KKK - just let me have this one, please and thank you). We continue the karma conversation today as we consider the incredibly draining force of applying energy to those who have done us harm. God/Source/Universe takes care of all - the debt is owed and it will be paid. Kevin and his bank account are literally and figuratively repaying those debts. What pre-tell does the K(C)rown have to to do with Karma and Kevin and #ubw? Well, similarly, the Krown has laid its flag in places throughout the world using brute force and psychological warfare. The significant series of misfortunes including sex scandals, deaths, cancers....the debts will be paid. In today's episode we examine the connections between life as a Queen in a gilded cage (although I am assured it is indeed a beautiful, luxurious prison) and that of a #ubw. But before all of that, sending love to the Uppity Black Women from the inaugural Melanin Meditates: Meditation, Tea, and Intention for Black Women. Thank you for reaffirming the need to always show love to our Sisters, particularly the ones whom we do not know.
