Please join me in wishing Boobashooba Sr- this little light of mine- best Dad and fiancé- the brilliant DJ- writer and educator- very East Oakland -no social media having Ebony a very very happy birthday!

I can write so much on how he’s had to solo parent many weeknights and weekends as a I wrote or now traveled for the book tour or how he’s really pushed himself to have consistent DJ gigs in spite of any negative self talk but beyond all of that or perhaps what you will be immediately present to with knowing and meeting Ebony is his generous and loving spirit. On the book tour, it’s not just me that has a line of people waiting to speak to me- Ebony also has a line. I always say that he is a literal walking heart and while that does not mean that you can play in his or his families face (Gemini) he is the most loving person I have ever met. My life has been forever changed by how Ebony challenges, listens and supports me. There is no other person I’d want to do life with- thank you for all that you are my love.
To many many more years of acting a plum fool together, resisting systems, DJ gigs and being under the rule of East Francis. #36 #happybirthday

White people must give up power.
Guidelines:
⠀
**BLACK TRANS FEMMES TO THE FRONT**
⠀
1. Black people: You never need a reason to put your payment info. Don’t feel obligated to share more than just that!
⠀
2. You can also give! Black folks giving to each other is something we do anyway, feel free to do that here as well.

3. Please post your name ONCE, posting again under someone else’s name will be deleted.
⠀
White and NBPOC:
⠀
1. Please share this post everywhere! Send a DM to the person you sent to with a “sent”! DON’T FORGET THE FOLKS IN THE HIDDEN MESSAGES!
⠀
2. Don’t tell folks you gave, it’s not about you. That’s not the same as doing number one.
⠀
3. Continue to agitate and demand the state give reparations to Black people. Write to your elected officials urging them to stand for reparations for Black people.We are all we got! #reparations

Where is Nasty Work going next???? See you in June, Toronto!!! Link in bio to register!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #nastywork #toronto #blackauthors

What role does s*x education play in the resistance?

We’re kicking off Season 14 of @sexedwithdbpodcast (OUT TODAY!), with that very question!

Join me and @ihartericka for a conversation on the impact of colonization on gender, pleasure, and shame…and how we break free.

💬 Want to get the episode link sent straight to your DMs? Comment “PODCAST” below!

And let me guess, they are all liberals who aren’t anti Black, right? 🙄🙄🙄

Happy Birthday Malcom X! Necessary reading/listening: “The Ballot or the Bullet” #malcolmx

My heart breaks for the family and friends mourning today.

It be your own people! #toddlers #gender #queerparents

it’s time for “THE talk”...
raise your hand if “sex ed” left a few things out.
43.5% of the women we surveyed said they’re still figuring out their own bodies. turns out the syllabus was missing a few chapters. Take from sex educator, @ihartericka

So deeply proud of you Diegito @_diegohart Diego is one of the sweetest, most brilliant and loving human beings I know.
