• Today’s Featured Article • Church Dread & Reclaiming My Faith by Mary Grace O’Brien ( @pepperobrien ) ———— “Remember, I was sixteen, and to this day, I’m still amazed that I had not heard much of any anti-gay rhetoric before this. I truly don’t think I’d ever sat in church during a homily and listened to a priest tell me same sex romance was evil. So when I sat in that room with my youth group and it hit me for the very first time that perhaps Catholicism was not as all accepting and all loving as I’d believed it was…” ———— Tap the link in our bio to read today’s article!

• Today’s Featured Article • Making It by Amy Cronin DiCaprio ( @nosmallfeat ) —————— I remember how grateful I felt that my mom was there. The house was warm. The kids were happy, and the laundry was done. For once, dinner pleased everybody, and I had help and conversation while I did the dishes. I dried the lemon juicer and when I opened the cupboard to put it away, the door promptly fell off its hinges, and collapsed dramatically onto the kitchen floor. “Oh my goodness,” my mother blurted. “Should you call him?” Ignoring her question, I hung up my dishtowel and surveyed the damage. “If you can do the kids’ bath time and teeth-brushing and keep them out of here, I think I can fix it,” I said, kneeling down to peer at the twisted metal hinge that had landed on the bottom the cabinet, inside a small nest of tiny screws. I had settled on removing the door completely, rather than trying to fix the broken hinge. My mother shook her head. “You’re not going to make it,” she said softly, mostly to herself. “You don’t want to call him?” —————— Tap the link in our bio to read the full article.

• Today’s Featured Article • WTF is Going on Hair?! by Zaenab Mabifa ( @xpoz.a ) ———— “Natural black hair typically falls into one of six categories of curly or coily hair types; ranging from 3A to 4C. 3A is the loosest curl pattern, and 4C is the tightest coil pattern. As a black woman, with a 4C hair type, I’ve peeped many things over the coarse of my life [haha, get it?]. I’ve peeped the negative attitudes and ideas surrounding my thick, kinky and coarse hair type. I peep the shade, when people use the terms ‘good hair‘, and ‘nappy‘, and most, if not all of it comes from other black people. It took me a very long time, but I am finally happy with my hair and my hair type. I’m Nigerian, and its apparent in my facial features and my hair texture.” ———— Tap the link in our bio to read Zaenab’s article and remember to donate to her after reading! 🖤

In today’s featured article, Zaenab ( @xpoz.a ) discuses growing up with natural hair and the bullying she experienced from other black children who’s parents allowed them to “fix” their hair, as her grandmother would say. She talks on eurocentric beauty standards, the natural hair movement, hair texture types, and texturism within black communities. Zaenab goes above and beyond to help educate those who may not have a lot of exposure to this issue or who may be privileged enough to have what is often called “good hair”.

• Today’s Featured Article • For Mothers Who Grieve by Camille Adair ( @kanyeesi ) ———— “Griefs tendrils have coiled around my body with no regard for my life, goals or daily schedule. Despite the bright eyes of my child bearing witness to my demise, who I know I love most of anyone dead or alive, I recently was forced to very publicly attempt to be (and fail constantly at being) a normal human after losing two friends within ten days of each other. I think it no coincidence that I likened her—my friend who absolutely brightened my days so often— to the sun, and yet I hadn’t seen the sun the whole week. In fact, every day the week she died, it rained. The clouds had claimed the skies and my mind. I remember in the news after her death, the amazon caught fire. The very lungs of our earth filled with smoke and fire so abundant you could see it from space. Media outlets were flooding with concern for the earth, calling out for diet change and harm reduction. I remember feeling no escape from my dread. Sadness here and there, I had lost someone I loved so much and I felt like at once, the world grieved with me.” ———— Tap the link in our bio to read this beautiful article.

• Today’s Featured Article • Empty Fortune Cookie – A Poem for National Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month by Amy Cronin DiCaprio ( @nosmallfeat ) ———— “I wrote this poem–Empty Fortune Cookie–nearly five years after I had a miscarriage. When I lost what was a very-wanted pregnancy, I grieved quietly, telling only a very small number of close friends and family. I was ashamed: self-blame is a frequent emotion in the aftermath of a miscarriage. Now, in the wake of anti-choice personhood measures that aim to grant personhood status to a fetus as early as conception, that shame that expectant parents experience around wanted-pregnancy loss is being exploited. The language of the law ominously pushes for the prosecution of miscarriage if it is (even arbitrarily) believed the pregnant person was in any way responsible for the miscarriage.” ———— Tap the link in our bio to read her poem along with more information about her experience.
