i only started on tumblr just before she passed

i heard about it but didn’t know anything abou tit. or who she was.

(i bet some people are wondering why i was so triggered and hurt by what

makes me deeply wish that i could have known her.

i don’t know much about her. one thing i do know is that she (as her

blog says) was for Brown Gurls. she was for them and definitely

i know this. this is why i’ve kept some distance from her blog. why i’ve

hesitated to read it.

(because she seemed awesome. and i want to honour her memory and her

spirit, even if it means that i do it at a distance. because i have

super light skin. i’m a transpinay and i pass for white.)

yesterday i saw a white woman invoke her spirit
