A group letter to the LGBT+ community in Ghana, in response to the raid last week and attitudes of intolerance. I’m personally waiting for the day people realize that homophobia is a white Western import that came in a boat with Catholicism & Christianity and the disease of self-hatred. But that’s a conversation for another day!Today we stand with Ghanaians on the ground who believe in progress and encourage locals & government to do the same. 🖤#GhanaSupportsEquality
Been here thinking about pleasure, and joy, and nature, and where they intersect with decolonization
For so long our hedonism has been deemed heathonism so in the absence of a colonizer, we self-police our bodies to assimilate to a colonial ideal of acceptability the colonial gaze lingers in how we interpret ourselves in the privacy of our Home
and the spectating specter of post-colonial neoimperialism perpetuates itself, like passive income, but now with our skinfolk serving as its guards and guardians
Some days I feel perhaps the work of decolonization is too long for this lifetime, too heavy to fit it in between bouts & bursts of joy
So I’ma just focus on decolonizing my mind by decolonizing my body.
love to everyone who came to the græ residency, if only we’d known they’d be our first and last shows for very long. The spirit moved in LA & I was blessed by some of my favorite vocalists alive. @lalahhathaway made me cry and I have the @india_carney solo memorized note for note.🖤
