Transitions in Texture

“Don’t let nobody peep yo naps.”

During Black History month in the 7^th grade (late 80’s/early 90s), having written previously about Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, and Dr. MLK, himself, I ventured into new territory.

‘Me Speaky no Eng-rish. . . .’

(and I don’t give a f@%k !!) . . . .

When I was in high school, my Hispanic friend Marisol (name changed) and I were paired together to do one of those silly high school projects that I all too often freaked out about as if it were pivotal to my future success in life, although I still ended up gluing sh*t together last minute Sunday night while watching Melrose Place.

He’ll Regret it…
