What The F*cK Hell Been Goin On

   

Hey y’all, how are you doing? Know it’s been a while. What the f*ck hell been going on you say? Everything. I’ve been keeping it low key this summer. A few trips to the beach with my boo, dog park with my Vivi and throwing down in the kitchen. Still running from a domestic violence offender I saw a a few times in 2011. Chile. There’s a lot of R. Kelly’s out there, the police turn often turn a blind eye and expect women and children to fend for themselves until there’s some kind of public outcry. 

Other than that, I’ve been wearing jean shorts because it is extremely hot in Florida. Also, copped this ALC Simone Studded Leather handbag which is actually on sale. Paired it with this denim Good American dress that has proved to be a really good buy. This past weekend I went out to a new club downtown and wore this cute JLorraine Designs polka dot jumpsuit. It was so comfortable and cute. I also pulled out my Sammy B. butterfly crop top and recently wore this cute see-through Fashion Nova bodysuit for my birthday this past April. It was cute for the occasion. Shout out to Elisabetta’s Ristorante downtown, their pasta and food is delicious. Peep more photos below. What have y’all been wearing in this heat?
 

Micas Delivery

Hey y’all, how have you been? I’ve been working, going through old things and facing some serious challenges. There are religious and cultural wars going on and it seems people want to be at war with me. I have always loved fashion and art, but it seems when I paint or create …there is a battle. I try not to become some kind of ‘angry black woman’ but domestic violence, rape, assault, and abuse should never be widely promoted or accepted. 

I find myself asking questions as to why government or the police would ignore such a thing. But, yea, all is not bad. I recently became a fan of Micas even though the first time I ordered from them, my package was lost. They have some cute clothing, great for the summer. 

What have yall been up to? Are you getting these vibes from the world as well?

Sincerely,

Happy Saturday. This sketch came to me recently. I don’t know if it’s other worlds speaking to me or just an idea. I am unfortunately a victim of domestic violence and I heard it was on the rise with the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Couples should not hit, threaten, rape, assault or exhaust one another. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely believe in self-defense and justice. The angry emoji shows some of the anger and resentment that I have. But, hey, we are all a work in progress. 

We all must remember that intimate partner and family relationships are precious. And, they should be treated that way.

What do you think about the rise in domestic violence and how do you like the drawing? Let me know in the comments and have a good rest of your weekend.

Sincerely,
