Two Schools
20 Jan
The message of the vid is simple, easy to digest. America suffers from perpetuates deep rooted educational inequality. Thats not even to mention the misguided structure of our educational system. What i have began to really notice, as the kids I knew in middle school and high school, kids I hung with, I hooped with, I ran with, grow and how the vast gaps in lifestyles begin to come to fruition. Contemporaneously, we just had a different school to rep. Fast forward 4 years, we go to different types of colleges, if they even go at all. The variance in environment really predicates vastly different life paths. If you are an 8th grader, looking to high school, whats hard to realize is that choice is going to make things easy or make them super hard, for your life. Hindsight is always 20/20, but watching these different lives play out in front of me is sobering. I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given, and those who paid for my education. Hopefully, I can provide the same for my children.

I grew up on watching my San Francisco 49ers win. We had a pedigree. I am at a loss for words as to how good it feels to have some semblance of that back. I love the Giants, loved watching them win the pennant, but football is football and the city needed this. I get tears just watching that catch.
Shit White Girls Say…to Black Girls

“My hair is so nappy right now” People say that to me all the time. I always wonder if they know that I am dreaded and by definition, nappy as hell. Hilarious.
