Life in The Not-So-Fast Lane
Who Am I? I'm not so sure. I know who I'm not. And that's enough for me.

I know I like animals. And spanish. and sugar. I love babies and beaches. And Hair. And musicals. And Music.

I'm an afro-Latina. Proudly Puertorriqueña. Boldly Black. Simply beautiful. in my own lil way =]
I'm also a sister/daughter/friend. I'm an enemy to that which isn't for Life.

I am Feminine, not weak. Young, not immature. Ethnic, not exotic. Woman, not subservient.

I'm a lover. But i got some fight.

I love black. I love green. I bleed Red.

This spot should be as random as my life. And reflect some of the things I think/see/admire/whatever.

I read. I write. I'm Passionate. I'm humble. Lets Tumbl----
 
 
 
chrilliams: queennubian: vintagegal: Really?   yes really. Cleopatra was black. Not european. Not white, not light skinned. Not elizabeth taylor and every other white woman that portrayed her after, not these white girls…like you who because they don’t know the history THINK that cleopatra is white. Egypt was in Africa, which was formally named Khemet, land of the Blacks. When white people potray POC it is a racist action. It is an erasure of a people. It is white washing. And it is blantant. But never stop fuckin with Elizabeth Taylor. :) cleopatra might have been black. but she was also of greek decent. think about that.
