“Back in 1924, he [Paul Robeson] was rehearsing the last act of The Emperor Jones, and script called for Jones to exit, hands in his pocket, whistling a tune. Robeson said he couldn’t whistle. The director said, ‘Well, hum… or sing, if you want to.’ And that’s the beginning of his singing career.”

— From the documentary Paul Robeson: Tribute to an Artist (dir. Saul J. Turell, 1979)

Welcome. As I am figuring how to go about freelance writing, I want to partially support myself with Patreon. What you will get from me are weekly essays on Black pop culture/Black female sexuality/Black radicalism, long form essays on any of the aforementioned subjects and the occasional poem. I want to use Patreon as a platform to launch my writing and eventually photography and ink drawing.

In your two arms rocking I am  quietly In my two arms rocking you are  quietly In your two arms I am a child,  listening. In my two arms you’re the child, I’m  listening With your arms you hold me tight when  I am scared With my arms I hold you tight and  I’m not scared In your arms even the silence  of death won’t  frighten me. In your arms I’ll fall through death  as though falling through a dream.
