We did it, y’all. We half-survived.
Suggested Reading
On Wednesday, Joe Biden was sworn into office as the 46th President of the United States, swiftly and effectively removing the orange dictator out of that undeserved position of power.
But I’m not here to recap the rollercoaster that was the last four years. No, I’m here to revisit and forever preserve for posterity the word and wonder of Black excellence that was on display before, during and after yesterday’s inauguration.
You can’t convince me that there wasn’t an exclusive group chat led by former first lady and forever icon Michelle Obama, where she coordinated the jewel-toned outfits and nudged Vice-President Kamala Harris in the direction of a monochromatic purple color scheme.

Menace to Society
As the sun rose over Washington D.C., and a new day began, Donald Trump flew off into the distance, hopefully never to be seen again. Black Twitter has really outdone itself. From the AKAs to the Bernie memes, we’ve really shown how powerful we are.
I think I’m funny, I’m not even going to lie. I pride myself on my dry humor and feel very accomplished when someone laughs at one of my (not at all funny) jokes. But this? This is next-level humor that I wasn’t prepared for.

I’ve Never Wanted a Fist Bump More
We’ve got to talk about the fist bumps. They’re iconic. Fist bumps are clearly an important part of Barack and Joe’s relationship, but I think we can all agree that the bump Michelle Obama gave Kamala Harris after she was sworn in brought us all true joy.
She really was like “Sis, you done did that,” and we all felt it.
