This is my cousin’s testimony about my children’s book on colorism called “Light-Skinned, Dark-Skinned or In-Between” I wrote a few years back. Her daughter loves the book and I’m so happy that she does. Dark skin is beautiful, light skin is beautiful, brown skin is beautiful — it’s all beautiful, but society has this funny way of tearing us down and putting each other against one another over complexion (I’m simplifying a whole lot here for the sake of time). All at the same time, people don’t want to talk about it, letting it fester which creates even bigger problems for folk. Glad that this book is sparking conversation and supporting girls of all shades all these years later. Amidst everything going on right now in my life, I’m in the final-ish throws of my dissertation which is about the lived experiences of dark-skinned Black college students. Hearing testimonies like this keeps me going late at night, early in the morning and all throughout my hustle. ❤️ Buy the book at https://theblackertheberry.org/my-book-documentary/ #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE #childrensbooks #colorism #flexininmycomplexion #melaninpoppin #melaninbabies #read #bookstagram #blackgirlsrock #RVA #DMV #804

Balance | I spent last weekend marrying the love of my life, the last day or so really starting to feel that “hey, we’re married now” adjustment and I spent today catching up on work and really feeling the inevitable wife/scholar balancing act. Juggling my personal life, teaching, writing, dissertation work and work for #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE is going to be interesting, but I’m taking it all in stride. Unlike I usually do, I’ve decided to be easy on myself (but not too easy 😏). Ladies, we grind hard and that’s all good, but it’s important to be good to ourselves in the midst of our #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE 👑There’s enough tearing us down on the outside. You can’t afford to not be good to yourself, girl. 😘 #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE #begoodtoyourself #gogetit #youbettawerk #wifelife #adjustments #adulting #dreams #liveyours

Enjoy, Queen! 👑 #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE #sisterhood #support #backtoschool #girlsruntheworld #theworldisyours

A huge shout out goes to @counselandcoach for contributing toward the supplies package and getting it to a special young lady here in Richmond. You are appreciated! #schoolgirlhustle #backtoschool #RVA #804 #DMV #ittakesavillage #queenshelpqueens 👑❤️

As I’m packaging up the supplies for this year’s high school-aged recipient, I am so grateful for Mariah Williams of @_blackgirlsmeetup for offering a college tour, contributing “A Black Girl’s Guide to College” and some other Black Girls Meet Up goodies to the package! ❤️ #schoolgirlhustle #blackgirlsmeetup #backtoschool #collegebound #itstakesavillage #RVA #804 #DMV

Completing some book orders this morning. It’s refreshing to know that educators are interested in engaging with their students about colorism and spreading love for all colors and hues. You can order my children’s book “Light-Skinned, Dark-Skinned or In-Between?” on my website, theblackertheberry.org ✨ #colorism #lightskindarkskin #allshades #blackisbeautiful #letstalkaboutit #schoolgirlhustle

Ladies, NEVER underestimate YOUR power. Your power to overcome. Your power to take on the hardest things life could throw at you. You have survived things that would have crushed some people, but you keep pushing through. That’s all that matters, no matter what! I myself have had a lot thrown at me, particularly the last few months. That drama on top of planning my wedding, finishing my dissertation, working on other academic projects, this year’s supply drive for #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE and preparing for marriage and the future. There have been days where I’ve completely doubted myself, wanted to cry, scream, say F everything and everything else in between. But you know what I haven’t done? I haven’t given up. THAT’S the power of a woman. No matter what’s on your plate, keep going ladies. You got this! 😘 . . #SCHOOLGIRLHUSTLE #girlsruntheworld #yougotthis #youbetterwork #youcandoallthings #queenin #iseeyou #wearyourcrown
