My letter to Chief of Sanford Police Bill Lee
I’m concerned as a citizen of the United States that your police department would operate in such a blatant way of disregard for a valuable life. I, like many across the country, were stunned not only by the murder of Trayvon Martin, but also by your police department’s inability to see justice served. Just know at this moment, your entire department is being watched around the country and we will not let Trey’s death and the inactions of your department go unanswered. If you believe we as a people are not understanding of your predicament, please do us courtesy of telling your community just how Zimmerman acted in self-defense against an unarmed boy that weighed 100 pounds less than him. Tell us how he acted in self-defense after when he shot the second bullet into Trayvon after that boy laid on the ground pleading for his life. You all should be ashamed. What if that was your child?

You don’t become a poet, singer, producer, actor or whatever else when the world acknowledges you are, you become it the moment you decide that’s what you are. The moment your belief is accompanied by an action towards that thing. For that reason I am already what I dream to be, I don’t believe in the word aspire it creates distance.

PREACH
Academics are not the end of the world. You are not competing with anybody. You are just born to shine, not to compete with anybody except yourself. Your life is not worth a degree. Your happiness is not worth a degree. There is no time attached to what God wants you to be or who *you* want to be. Take it easy. We love you not only because of your intelligence, but because you are *you*. Take a deep breath. Go to sleep. I love you.
my father, after i called him at 1am sobbing from exhaustion and stress and anxiety. best if read in a broad igbo accent :)
i’d been feeling the emotional load of school and other shit that had just drained me, so i was up crying too hard to sleep and feeling that crushing loneliness. so i called my father.

“If you’re a white man, your drug addiction is romanticized. If you’re a black woman, all you ever contributed to the world is ‘crack whoredom’. White men get to be tortured artists, but black women aren’t even considered artists, cause everybody can do what Whitney did, right? Nothing special about that.”

This girl is the main reason I’m in Hollywood now. She believed in me from the beginning and I’m so happy she’s about to show America what she can do. Here’s to you Da’Vine! Congrats!
I’M YOUNGER, I’M FASTER, AND I WANT IT MORE. YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE.
SETTLE DOWN, BRIAN. IT’S NOT A RACE.
WHAT? YES IT IS. IT’S LITERALLY A RACE. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING. AND I AM GOING TO WIN.
WINNING ISN’T EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW.
IT’S ENOUGH. BEATING YOU IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME HAPPY.
HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE, BRIAN.
ARE YOU JUST REPEATING STUPID CLICHÉS AT ME?
YES, IT ALLOWS ME TO CONVERSE WITH YOU ON THE SHALLOWEST LEVEL POSSIBLE WHILE I RESERVE MY ACTUAL MENTAL RESOURCES FOR WINNING THIS RACE AND LAUGHING IN YOUR STUPID DUMB FACE.
… FAIR ENOUGH. LET’S DO THIS.
YOU’RE GOING DOWN.
