I claimed @museummammy when I was in college, an attempt to reclaim the word mammy. Why allow this word—with so much potential—to live such a shrunken existence in the lexicon?
In my heart, I’ve always loved riding the edge between complacency and chaos. Mammy as a term—both rightfully suppressed and deeply repressed—emboldened me to keep it alive for so long.
But today, I’ve decided to sunset museummammy.
The truth is: I know more now. I better understand why mammy triggers so many of us. Yes, the stereotype was born from the legacy of Black domestic labor—but at this big age, I can no longer ignore how mammy was also used to suppress more than just our work. It was used to suppress our rage.
It’s no surprise the United Daughters of the Confederacy proposed a mammy statue for the National Mall in the 1920s. The term mammy has long been a categorical attack on Black women’s right to an internal life.
And let’s be clear: the image of mammy as a grandmotherly figure is factually inaccurate. Historically, mammy was a call to young Black women to embrace submission—to accept a role. Not a destination. A cage.
For so long, I clung to this label, not realizing I didn’t have to fight for its subversion. Now, as a grown woman, I know I don’t need to prove the value of my work—or waste time trying to radicalize what was never meant to liberate me.
So…
And just like that…
I welcome a new era.
Where I can just be kimberly.

truly absurd how many times a week living with depression tells me that i don’t matter, that i will never be good enough… but (!!) so thankful that running found me. when i run, i feel strong. when i run, i know that the each starting line is as important as the run itself and is as important as the finish line. when i run, i know that i am a part of a global community of people moving their bodies and wow that’s kinda cool. when i run, i listen to @beyonce’s homecoming and try not to trip as i dance along. when i run, i am so much more than the lies depression feeds me. thankful beyond measure for every mile.

so, a year ago, i began packing up my necessities to move to london. i had the tremendous support of so many loved ones for this journey.
then, once the move began, things changed. i didn’t get it together in time to enroll (or defer for that matter) and i was faced with the choice of choosing. almost a year later, i am still on the journey of choosing.
countless couch stays, nature walks, hugs, rants, BAGGAGE FEES, hours of crying and and and i am finally feeling that i can build home anywhere i make choices.
for the first time, my only constancy is within myself. i have become both softer and more selfish—i am learning not to let either designation be permanent.
one of my favorite phrases my portuguese tutor taught me is: “a vida é uma sinuca, mas confia no meu taco,” which translates to life is a game of pool but i trust my abilities.
🎱 the politic of play perhaps is the only one we need to follow. trust in a better world. im sure you’ll find a way to build it.

& sometimes you’re quite literally just black and brown in venice.
i have been invested in taking it SLOW while I’m in venice for @labiennale’s opening week. i want to do my best to understand @madamekoyo’s foresight & preparation & what work that she’s left behind for us to continue to do.
grief is something else. so we must work to process and prepare. we must move with a softness that can only be earned.
i HATE the biennial opening week, because so many forget that we get but one sweet and precious life. we get to MOURN and that is a PRIVILEGE hard earned because we get to LIVE, and, as such, we have DUTY to also CARE for each other as best as we can.
END OF THE DAY, seeing some of the world’s best art shouldn’t feel like palliative care. this week shouldn’t be a time for picking our poison when we can ALWAYS pick a WISER option.
im thankful for the chance to continue to pay much due respect to koyo and to so many of my elders who’ve left us with some work to do. my eternal gratitude until the end of my time.

grief is something else. so we must work to process and prepare. we must move with a softness that can only be earned.
i HATE the biennial opening week, because so many forget that we get but one sweet and precious life. we get to MOURN and that is a PRIVILEGE hard earned because we get to LIVE, and, as such, we have DUTY to also CARE for each other as best as we can.
END OF THE DAY, seeing some of the world’s best art shouldn’t feel like palliative care. this week shouldn’t be a time for picking our poison when we can ALWAYS pick a WISER option.
im thankful for the chance to continue to pay much due respect to koyo and to so many of my elders who’ve left us with some work to do. my eternal gratitude until the end of my time.

celebrating two years in recovery since my last manic episode 🧸
i have never really shared in writing, but back in 2021 i was diagnosed with bipolar ii. i had had “mental breaks” and “burn out,” but it wasn’t until watching @zendaya playing rue on euphoria that i really started to question why my lows were so low and my highs so high. in 2021, like so many, i was NOT okay.
there’s a lot more to say that doesn’t work well on this particular platform but today i am taking jenifer lewis’s words to heart: “we are as sick as our secrets, so i have none.”
for years, i have felt like i needed to mask my bipolar (which naturally makes symptom management even harder). now, i can look at @camonghne and @kehlani and @jeniferlewisforreal and #younglean and @chappellroan and so many friends in the height of their creative freedom. there’s no merit in shame when you’re doing the work of healing. there’s no merit in shame when your brain is already doing so much to survive.
i have very little romance for living with this disorder, but i know better than ever that shame isn’t my key to a cure.
thankful for family and friends on this journey with me. thankful for the art of discretion, the art of patience, and the art of unconditional love.

officially two months post one of the most transformative times in my adult life.
i have therapy tomorrow to properly process, but for this space i will share how much i have learned about the concept of potential. for so long this word haunted me. it felt like a criticism that i was never trying hard enough. with my @thesacredfig family, i came to better understand that my potential is on the other side of the imaginary lines my brain and body have drawn since pre-school.
my potential is on the other side of every leap and bound and not my burden but my open invitation from god and the divine to live most abundantly.
i am thankful to feel more charged up for whatever’s next — even on the hardest days since leaving sumberkima 🧡

small epiphany from my run today ⬇️
the summer brain is JUST AS if not MORE important than the “summer body”
the world is so disorienting it can be easy to turn to the one thing we can control: our bodies
what’s the point of a revenge body, if your brain isn’t clear on who’s the real enemy?
take care our there! 🫶🏾

#SalonedeMobile is always a bit of magic.
made it to milan and my beloved @symbiosity had a full itinerary — five minutes here, ten there. we had things to see, and if we wanted to return, there would be ample time.
running late, but also exactly on time — at our final stop on day one, Prada [Frames], we were ushered into @cenacolo_vinciano and greeted by a quirky guide who shared that da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” is as iconic as it is fragile. we learned that because of his technical choices, the fresco was decomposing before it was even finished.
it left me thinking: as creatives, we get commissioned or compelled to bring ideas to life, and there can be a dark obsession with getting it just right. but seeing so many incredible, daring works this week — some elegant, some profoundly silly, and of course, this masterpiece — i’m reminded that art and creativity don’t have to be right or wrong.
“The Last Supper” is a conservation nightmare because da Vinci tried a technique that could be considered “a failure,” and yet it has stood the test of time. maybe that’s overly romantic, but isn’t that what art and design are all about?

running late, but also exactly on time — at our final stop on day one, Prada [Frames], we were ushered into @cenacolo_vinciano and greeted by a quirky guide who shared that da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” is as iconic as it is fragile. we learned that because of his technical choices, the fresco was decomposing before it was even finished.
it left me thinking: as creatives, we get commissioned or compelled to bring ideas to life, and there can be a dark obsession with getting it just right. but seeing so many incredible, daring works this week — some elegant, some profoundly silly, and of course, this masterpiece — i’m reminded that art and creativity don’t have to be right or wrong.
“The Last Supper” is a conservation nightmare because da Vinci tried a technique that could be considered “a failure,” and yet it has stood the test of time. maybe that’s overly romantic, but isn’t that what art and design are all about?
