Self-Slaying

Good morning beautiful people. I won’t start talking about Covid because honestly, I am not really sure if any of us even know what is going on with this virus.However I will go on a very short rant about the western worlds resistance towards Madagascars herbal tonic to help combat the disease. If you follow me on any of my social media pages (which is honestly just one active page... haha), I mentioned it there. It is just ridiculous that when the slightest chance presented itself that Africa might hold the key to a global pandemic, the wests’ ego came to play.

With that being said, I know you might be wondering what this topic “self-slaying” is about. And no, I am not here to shame slay queens because who cares what anyone chooses to do with themselves so long as they are happy? On that note, STOP SHAMING PEOPLE FOR THEIR CHOICES OF LIVING! None of us is a saint!

To be honest however, you probably have noticed I have been beating about the bush for the last two paragraphs but that is because this weeks topic is so heavy I had to find a way to down the heading so I don’t freak people out. Nonetheless, it is a very important topic which we don’t talk much about especially in the black community.

With the blessing of the intellect of Dr. Kamesha Spates, this weeks subject is the first in a two part talk about suicide in black communities particularly. SHIEESSHH RIGHT! Such a grim topic but lets be real. It happens! I am sure we either all know someone or know of someone who knows someone who committed suicide. Irrespective of how we know, we cannot say we are not affected by it.

SO why then do we not talk about it if it had this much impact. LISTEN!!! Even though we are the global majority as black people, those of us living in western worlds have to constantly fight systems that were put in place 400 plus years ago which STUPIDLY have barely been amended to meet our needs. All I am saying is life is hard already and we cannot keep keeping quiet about real things that we need to openly speak about for get remedies for.

Look, I don’t know who is reading or who will be listening but I love you. Did you hear me? I said… I LOVE YOU!!! So please, join me listen to Dr. Kamesha Spates as she educates us on this rather uneasy subject. AGAIN… I …LOVE… YOU… and if you every think you cannot deal with this world anymore, just remember… this too shall pass! And if you ever need someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @visionary_tamakloe or my email Tamaklo.art@gmail.com and I will respond (I promise I check them frequently). Life can be shitty… but it also has so much to give.
