We do not live single-issue lives. – Audre Lorde. Why I Keep Crying About Moonlight Winning Best Picture at the Oscars. February 28, 2017. I used to think I wasn’t Black enough. Black girls like me should not exist. I thought about graduating from college and reading. Go Tell It on the Mountain. The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde. Afrekete: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Writing. And being moved to tears because all of the writers in those works were saying, Yes! My Path of Resistance. January 31, 2017.

What does it mean to be polyamorous? – Church of the Scarlet Letter
https://scarletchurch.com/2016/10/13/what-does-it-mean-to-be-polyamorous
Church of the Scarlet Letter. My Coming Out Story. What does it mean to be polyamorous? October 13, 2016. October 13, 2016. This is part two of a series about my general thoughts on the non-monogamy. Read part one, “What does it actually mean to be non-monogamous? I want to talk about polyamory in three ways. What it means to identify as poly, my personal ethics regarding polyamory, and personal moments that I’ve had as a result. I felt comfortable with the label once I revamped what it meant for me to b...

Church of the Scarlet Letter. My Coming Out Story. Learning to love my belly. November 14, 2016. I have a confession. At the weight I’m currently at, belly fat sits on my bladder, and it easily gets inflamed. This started happening when I was twenty-four, after my first adult weight gain, and I went to a urologist who diagnosed me with something like stressed bladder syndrome. But I knew that I was better than that. If I can’t learn to love myself, I can’t encourage others to love. Fully loving my body w...

On Couples – Church of the Scarlet Letter
https://scarletchurch.com/2016/12/02/on-couples
Church of the Scarlet Letter. My Coming Out Story. December 2, 2016. December 2, 2016. Recently I met this couple at a party (not Will and Jada), and we confessed we were all attracted to each other. B and I started chatting on Facebook, multiple paragraph/multiple topic things. Each time I receive a message, I’m surprised by the length, delighted by the detail, and touched by the time she took to write it. Side note: I have switched the terminology I use. Numbered language can make people feel less ...

What about Sin? – Church of the Scarlet Letter
https://scarletchurch.com/2016/11/05/what-about-sin
Church of the Scarlet Letter. My Coming Out Story. November 5, 2016. November 6, 2016. Note: I use we throughout this post a lot referring to other Christians. If you are not a Christian and are reading this (or even if you are a Christian), please don’t take my “we” to mean I think you need to adopt my mindset. You do you, booboo. Until then, sin equaled fear and unworthiness. It was me doing wrong and being wrong. Sin was not being right with God. I say it was mostly intuition, but about six months bef...

Church of the Scarlet Letter. My Coming Out Story. What does it actually mean to be non-monogamous? September 29, 2016. September 29, 2016. Several people have reached out to me lately wondering if non-monogamy is right for them. In order to help them figure that out, I’m going to do a series of posts on my general thoughts on the topic, starting with what it means to be non-monogamous. What about being emotionally monogamous, but sexually open, or vice versa? In other words, non-monogamy does not have t...
