To say there’s a lot going on in the world would be an understatement. Everyday you turn on the news or scroll through social media, there’s more stories of police murders, modern day lynchings, and weird racist women in video captures.
It’s a lot to absorb, and a lot to live through. At times it makes me feel numb, other times it makes me sad, and other times it makes me feel angry. I think these are all fair emotions, and some of the same feelings you may be feeling too. Just know, I’m here for you if you want to pow wow, kee-kee (think this is spelled wrong) or virtually drink wine on FaceTime (I look cute on here FYI), I’m here.
I’m also around if you want to talk about the Insecure finale because Condola came through in all that white to mess shit up.
Sorry if you are late and haven’t watched the finale, but I feel a way.
It looks like Andrew and Molly broke up which is necessary because Molly is annoying. He is fine though, so I hope he just shows up randomly at the coffee shop, at the grocery store, at the taco shop Issa took Nathan to, at Nathan’s barbershop, at one of Issa’s events, in San Francisco, at a party, or on the phone. I just want him to be somewhere so I can enjoy the view. Am I right?
The whole pregnancy thing didn’t shock me. I knew this was going to happen when Issa and Lawrence went on the date and Canola Oil (my favorite Twitter shade now) kept texting him. I hope they can figure it out. I was really excited for the possibility of Lawrence and Issa exploring my homeland of the Bay Area, and going on Trolly Rides since he’s the trolly… man. They have grown up so well, and have great mature energy. And also, not to be that person, but… I mean... a similar storyline happened in real life with some of our favorite celebs and they survived it. If they could, I’m sure a fictional couple could. Also, if nothing else, do it for the mirror raps.

Speaking of things that didn’t surprise me - are any of us surprised about everything happening at The Wing? I thought the spaces were cool, but never thought the model was sustainable. I’m curious how everything will unfold now that Audrey Gelman, co-founder, has resigned. Reading this article made me look up my old fave, Elizabeth Holmes and to see what’s up with her trial now that we are in the COVID-19 times. Doesn’t look like there’s much movement but this was an interesting article: There’s One Thing Coronavirus-Era CEOs Can Learn From Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes.
I just finished reading Andre Leon Talley’s Memoir Chiffon Trenches, and I give it 3 stars. I was really excited to read it but it felt very like I know these people in the fashion world - but I’m not really a fashion girl. I’m fashionable on a budget. But I say this to say, this article about whether or not Anna Wintour could survive the social justice movement was very timely.
ChloexHalle released their new album Ungodly Hour, and I love it so much. I’m still anxious for a Corinne Bailey Rae album which is an unrelated fact I want you to know.
Note: yes, I did change the name of my newsletter because I am a libra and I change my mind sometimes. love ya!
