Dear Black Men: Black Women Always (Always!) Show Up To Events. Why Don't You?
In 1999, girl group 702 (which included my boo-in-my-head at the time, Kameelah Williams) released the song “Where My Girls At?” It is a great song from a great group from the ’90s that brings me much joy and happiness. Well, it’s 2016, and I’m asking, “Where my dudes at?” Why am I asking this?…

12 Years a Situationship
We’ve all been in those relationships that we thought were going somewhere promising when in reality it was leading us down to the makings of an Adele album. I have been so fascinated with the thought of forever and that white picket fence that I have ended up becoming so delusional that I ignored what…

Bisexual People Are Tired of Your Shit: A Beginner’s Course in Non-Normative Queer Life

Tinder: Where The Dreams Of Meeting My Bougie Black Prince Go To Die
Within the past 48 hours, I’ve decided I’m going to be chaste and devote my life to God, because this dating thing is entirely too much. It should be noted that for the most part, I hate dating. I hate the horse-and-pony show aspect of the early stages, the faux nonchalance, the job interview feel…

I Love Boobs And You Love Boobs…So Why Can't We Love Boobs Together?
You know what’s great? Boobs. Do you know how I know they’re great? Because nearly everybody loves them. Men love them. They make us happy. Women love them? They are orbs worthy of appreciation. Everybody can appreciate curves it seems. Even kids love them. They remind them of pillows. And who doesn’t love pillows? Have…

Ladies, What's Up With the Late Night, Last Minute, When I'm Trying To Sleep, We Need A Resolution Convos?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Man and woman get into argument about something. It doesn’t matter what its about. It could be about Obama’s favorite Jordans. Or whether or not Season 3 of House of Cards was any good and advanced the cause of dismantling FEMA. Or an argument about Beyoncé and…

These Are The Tales, The PJ Tales, Part V
Now, let’s be clear. Going out of town to see somebody that you don’t remember but have had some great conversations with will go one of two ways: 1) you all will have the same amazing chemistry in person that you have over the phone (I’ve been on that yacht before); or 2) it gets…

These Are The Tales, The PJ Tales, Part IV
Did I ever tell you about the one time I went to Rochester, NY? I probably didn’t. I’ve been to Rochester, NY, one time in my life. And because I am both genius and legend, I went in February, in the dead of cold in 2004. It was so cold when I landed in the…
