I practice a West African religious tradition known as Ifa or Orisha. It’s very closely related to Vodun, Santeria, Lucumi, and similar traditions in the Western Hemisphere. I was having a conversation a few weeks ago with a friend about some very deep subjects and in the midst of it I said something like, “We all have our Fail moments. People fuck up. Even I fail sometimes. It’s what you do when you fail that counts.” My friend said, “Can I put [...] Hi guys!!! *waves excitedly* So Tempest requested that I introduce myself. This has been giving me a bout of writer’s block all week, because I really do hate talking about myself on the internets. Face to face, fine. Internets? Not so much. *eyerolls* However, I have decided to narrow it down to the following: A while back I saw this comic strip. Can’t remember the name. The setting was white suburbia, a family, which as my friend Sara points out “really narrows it down.” As some of you have cottoned, the ABWs have found their way to Twitter. We’re tweeting under angryblackwomen because certain other names were taken by someone NOT us. I think we need to trademark or something. Quick reminder, our ABW NYC meetup is tomorrow afternoon from 4 – 7 at Society Coffee @ 2104 Frederick Douglass Blvd @ 114th. Everyone who can see this is invited and you’re welcome to bring friends. While at WisCon 33 I was on one panel that wasn’t going to be a panel. Cultural Appropriation 101 was supposed to be a workshop. At least, that’s what Programming asked us to do. But then we only had your normal panel-length time slot of 75 minutes to do it in. Longtime readers of this blog may remember my doing this fundraising event in years past. I’m at it again! Along with several other people (including, I think, Karnythia and Nisi). Some people have said they liked my introduction yesterday. Good! Stay with me now. You love me when I’m angry. |
