More Than a Ball Player: Empowering Black Boys to Dream Big 🖤🤝🏾✊🏾

-

The world seems so quick to box people in, especially when it comes to Black boys. Tall, athletic Black boys are often told they’re built for sports, as if their worth is tied to how well they can dribble a basketball 🏀 or catch a football 🏈. But let’s flip the script, shall we?

The next time you see a tall Black boy, don't just tell him he could be an athlete. Tell him he looks like a future CEO 👔. An attorney ⚖️. An entrepreneur 💼. An influencer 🌟 or analyst 📊. Let him know that his potential extends far beyond the basketball court or football field.

Black boys can excel at anything they set their minds to—not just in sports. They can become trailblazers in law, finance, media, tech, and every other industry out there. They can redefine success in ways that break through the stereotypes placed on them by society 💡.

The truth is, Black boys are brilliant, innovative, and capable of greatness in every field 🌍. So the next time you meet one, plant the seed of possibility in his mind 🌱. Show him the full spectrum of his potential because Black boys deserve to dream big and see themselves as more than just athletes 🚀.

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

The Rollercoaster of a Saturday Night: Bathtub Disasters, Ancient Aliens, and Everything in Between 🛁👽📱

Saturday night, and I was ready for a relaxing bath after a busy week. The plan? An oatmeal Epsom soak, some peaceful reading, and just unwinding. I had everything set: my book, my iPad, my bath filled with warm water… or so I thought. But no—the hot water completely bailed on me. I waited patiently, reading my book, hoping for the water to warm up. Despite running it for a while, the comforting warmth I craved never came. To top it off, I got into the bath anyway, but it was freezing! So much for my long, peaceful soak. My 20-minute timer went off, and I was left sitting in cold water, wishing for just a little bit of comfort. Talk about a huge letdown. 😩❄️ I was all set to do my usual routine afterward: changing my expired insulin pump and Dexcom sensor. But nope, that didn’t happen. Instead, I wrapped up my bath early and decided to switch gears. I reattached my sensors, grabbed some chips and lemonade 🍟🍋, and settled in to watch  Ancient Aliens  on TV. (Honestly, my nig...

Confessions of a Book Reader: Allergic to Stupidity, Powered by Sarcasm

-

  Let’s be real—there’s nothing quite like getting lost in a good book. The plot twists, the unforgettable characters, the world-building so vivid it pulls you in…  chef’s kiss . Books are my escape, my happy place, my way of avoiding social interactions I didn’t sign up for. But you know what ruins the experience? Stupidity. And I don’t mean the fun, fictional kind where the protagonist makes terrible decisions for the sake of drama (we all secretly love that). I’m talking about real-world, brain-cell-draining stupidity—the kind that makes you question how some people function on a daily basis. Yes, I am a book reader. Yes, I am highly allergic to stupidity. And yes, sarcasm is my prescribed antihistamine. 🫠 This is so me, lol. 😂 I’m an introverted bookworm with a blog called  Awkwardly Introverted , where I embrace all things bookish, socially awkward, and, of course, sarcastic. Reading is my comfort zone, and stupidity is my biggest irritant. Symptoms of My “Allergy”...
