November 30, 2014 by Ashley Willies

An article from Aljazeera bearing the title above raised some eyebrows, but enticed my head to slowly nod.

Morning rituals and GoT

5:45 am awakening | 6 am yoga | Game of Thrones and Black Coffee Little did I know at this pictured scene what was to unfold…kind of. I mean, a character is never safe in Game of Thrones because it is a Game. Of. Thrones. Moreover, I now know that I should have read those […]

I am so tired and you should be too.

May 9, 2014 by Ashley Willies

Let me vent? I am so tired of race. I am so tired of all these racially charged articles despite their good intentions, ill-formed arguments, and their relatability all over my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

April 18, 2014 by Ashley Willies

  In honor of Flashback Friday, I would like to bring to the attention of unaware specimens, Kathleen Cleaver. You may recognize her name from her affiliation with the Black Panther Party.

White Girls by Oh Lordy: A Parody to “Royals” by Lorde

November 30, 2013 by Ashley Willies

First, check out this parody below I thought it was hilarious and ironic considering what these ladies are talking about are kind of what Lorde is speaking against/about in a way, but it is funny nonetheless and makes fun of what a ton of people in my newsfeed gush about and do. What’s even funnier […]
