Wednesday, August 08, 2007. My Dirty Little Secret. 8220;What pornography is really about, ultimately, isn't sex but death.”. I watched my first adult film at age 13.

Monday, March 12, 2007. Rasheeda’s Blues: Black Women and Anxiety. Have we gone crazy? For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf. All this time, I feared dying of a heart attack, and my asthma, which had been under control, was about to take me out. I’ve heard this argument before, especially from my male friends. Weakly, I concede. I can handle this. One mile from Raina’s house, I see a gift from God: HOSPITAL NEXT EXIT. Has the sign been there all this time? I never noticed...

Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Resurrecting Jamiel’s Dream. Parents should never have to bury their kids.

Yesterday, I went to the homegoing ceremony for their son, Jamiel. I walked up to the altar to view the body, right behind men wearing yellow gang intervention jackets. A teen behind me muttered, “I hate this shit! One of these mornings. He rec...
