women of color deserve so much better in the music industry & black women specifically have paved the way and tirelessly broken down countless barriers for ALL women in music for decades now
155
while still barely getting the credit they deserve
156
I miss hanging out at my friend’s houses and going into the other room to take a nap 🥺

white people and non-black POC - we have so much work to do. we cannot continue to let our black brothers and sisters be murdered every day. we cannot continue to consume and be influenced by black culture and turn a blind eye when our black brothers & sisters are brutally killed
159
If you are not uncomfortable and outraged you are not paying attention

THANK U TO THE PEOPLE RISKING THEIR BODIES AND PHYSICAL SAFETY ON THE FRONT LINES OF THESE PROTESTS
161
There has never been a more crucial and important time for dismantling the capitalist system that was built off the free labor of enslaved black people. The revolution Is now , especially because the economic world is collapsing as we know it With this global pandemic
162
Day 2 of mobilizing w the crew & creating care kits for protestors. Each one includes water/Gatorade, mask, is anti-pep solution & a snack (inspo for what you can hand out in your city). Stay safe - they r setting curfews here in LA which gives way for more police violence
163
this is not a time for white or non black people to wallow in any guilt, pity or self loathing. this is a time for unity and action - putting your money, your body, and your time on the line for something way way bigger than any of us
164
these early as hell curfews are literally just a way to justify excessive police force and arrest people who are trying to peacefully protest, as well as keep brown and black people at work during the day from being able to protest. we are in a police state no doubt , I’m sick
165
healers of the world must take time to heal themselves first. for anybody who needs to hear it - I hope u are making time for that right now ❤️
166

Black women, men, and transgender people are still being murdered everyday by the police / racist white people AND protestors across the country are still being killed on the front lines by the police everyday.

im a bit late 😭 but my debut album ‘Lucid’ one year anniversary was a few weeks ago! thank you u to everyone who saw themselves in this record and thank u to all the Black and Brown musicians I grew up listening to who influenced so many of the sounds on this record. Big love ❤️

I can’t stop thinking about your story, Oluwatoyin. You deserved so much better. Black women deserve so much better. Your abuser tried to silence u from speaking out on your assault, so we must keep saying your name and keep fighting for you. Rest in Power Oluwatoyin Salau 😔

When I went to the police to report my sexual assault it looked like this: He scolded me for underage drinking (I was drugged), told me I had no case and that I shouldn’t even bother pursuing it, & then hit on me and gave me his number. Condescending, cold, misogynistic.
172
Wow the trauma blocked this part of the memory out but he also asked me if I was “sure it wasn’t just a crazy night out” ....... the gaslighting oh my god
173
one big thing men struggle with in real life and online is knowing when to be quiet and let women speak, and actively listening when they do 💁🏽♀️ and also being aware that our socialization and communication styles are entirely different and don’t always look like yours
174
fame culture is wild toxic and inherently flawed
My album, Asha's Awakening, is out now 🌈
