cover by @pacifyherafi / nicole "Sure, maybe the urban Boston wouldn't be completely socially aware, but they'd at least have some idea of how to treat us like we were all the same. So, we were packing up our bags, and I was going to a new school, and I'd do fine as long as I stayed away from those white boys." - - - Robin Skye was packing her bags and (hopefully) moving away from the racial discrimination she's had to face in Georgia. Of course she was guided by her mother and father to stay away from the source of the racism - white boys. But, River just couldn't stay away from her. NOTE - - - do not read this if you know you won't agree on the ways that this book touches on racism because you will get your feelings hurt !!

While working on his follow-up album, he runs across WriteNow and @YaraTheWriter through his assistant. What initially starts off as just something fun to pass the time leads to a deeper friendship.

"You don't know what it's like to be my size!" I yelled at Naomi. "Me? I wish I could be your size!" "No one wants to be me, no one dreams of being plus sized!" "You dont think it's hard being skinny? I WISH I could gain weight!" I sucked my teeth. Fetishing my weight is not real. Being overweight is dehumanizing. I disgust people. No one wishes to be big. Dreams aren't for real. Thin is in, always have been. Always will be. One more thing. Wildflowers don't exist.
