How rude of me. I realized I’ve never formally introduced
myself, and why my cousin and I decided to start this blog…
My name is Olisa (*cyber waves*) and I am a recent college
grad who double majored in Psychology and African-American Studies. I am super
passionate about Blackness, the African Diaspora, and Black identity—with a
particular interest on how the male experience is implicated within the three.
Yes, I am a woman. Yes, I consider myself a feminist. But there’s something so
special to me about Black men. I look around on the daily—in the media, within
my friend groups, in my academic material, etc. and much of what’s out there
about our brothas is highly negative. Have I contributed to the negativity—ABSOLUTELY!!
And that right there is one of my reasons for co-establishing this blog (my
fabulous cousin, Channelle De., really took the lead on this one though.) I’ve
always been the type of woman who was very comfortable around men. I vibe with
y’all. I’m infatuated by you. You’re sexy, strong, opinionated, hard headed,
and I love it. But I digress…
When I don’t understand something, I inquire. I love to
investigate, to ponder meanings, and gain new perspectives, and hear your
voices, BM. My posts will be my ramblings—the good, bad, and ugly. I’m gonna write
things you agree with, lots of things you’ll disagree with, and things that
will make you think. I love to be challeneged as it helps me learn. Don’t be
shy. Share your thoughts, and I’ll share mine. Peace and love.
Olisa
