She's Gotta Have It

The movie She's Gotta Have It directed by Spike Lee is one of my new favorites.

I was scrolling through Netflix when all of a sudden I saw some colorful writing and clicked on the thumbnail. Bam! Transported into a world with the quote of Zola Neale Hurston, one of my favorite poets. Immediately I saw connections to this strong black woman and Hurston, and her story of her eyes were watching god, especially with the Jamie character.

I adored Opal and her thoughts on sexuality, and fell in love with Nola and her playful and sincere attitude surrounding sex. She makes what she loves liberating while she paints her walls and celebrates black beauty. Stunning piece!!! I loved it.

 Short, witty, eye catching, and beautifully done. It makes me want to create! And I think that is what makes art so intriguing and important. Spike Lee as Mars was a nice touch too. With many nods to current events and pop culture, this 1986 film makes reference to the constant police brutality that still goes on today with a newspaper clipping reading "honor student slain by cops." In Nola's birthday scene, we are transported into a colorful world after she clicks her heels together three times, a beautiful reference to The Wizard Of Oz while also alluding to a sense of wanting to escape. I adore how Nola doesn't choose, and when she does she says eh....that is ok....my body is mine and who cares what other people think. Image result for she's gotta have it nola darling quotes

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
