Finally, if you’ve never read a book by or about Obama, I highly recommend this one. It’s about his time in the Senate while serving under President Bush, how he got there, why he ran, how difficult it was for him, why most of the odds were stacked against him, the toll it took on his marriage and so much more. For someone who doesn’t know a lot about politics this book really makes you care about stuff you wouldn’t normally. It might sound like a bummer story, but it’s truly so interesting. It’s also a great companion piece to the podcast, and if you get the audiobook it’s read to you by Obama himself.

This portrait is one of the coolest paintings I’ve ever seen. Obama’s presidential portrait was done by the talented Kehinde Wiley, who is known for his naturalistic paintings of African American’s and his vibrant patterned backgrounds. There’s so much beauty in this painting. The lush green background is perfectly fit for a person who was raised in Hawaii. It’s just so gorgeous to look at. And as Obama put it the portrait can ”challenge our conventional views of power and privilege." I know there’s controversy about Michelle’s. How it doesn’t look like her, but I still think it’s wonderful. It shows the artist, Amy Sherald’s, trademark style: An african american person a top a vibrant background color holding their hands in a way that represents their personality. Michelle loved it saying: "I'm also thinking of all the young people, particularly girls and girls of color, who ... will see an image of someone who looks like them hanging on the wall of this great American institution. I know the kind of impact that will have on their lives, because I was one of those girls."Take a peek at the rest of her work when you get a chance. It’s truly breath taking. These portraits are incredible to say the least.

What a week for Obama, and it’s only Tuesday! First of all, if you haven’t already listened, there’s a new podcast out from the people who brought you Making Oprah. It’s the story of Obama and what made him one of our best presidents of recent memory. A very worth while listen, especially because he’s a part of the podcast as well!

This is bad ass Diahann Carroll. She was the First Black woman to play a lead role in a TV series, but most importantly, in a non stereotypical role. She was also the first Black woman to win a Tony for Best Actress in 1962. Shout her out and don’t forget her when you’re watching Insecure or Grownish because they’re standing on the shoulders of Diahann.

Yesterday would have been this young man’s 23rd Birthday. It’s important to remember recent and tragic black history. Rest In Power. You are not forgotten. #BlackHistoryMonth

Wonderfully articulated by Kamala Harris “Rejected from American aviation schools due to her race and gender, Bessie Coleman taught herself French and headed to Europe, where she received her international pilot’s license in 1921. ‘The air is the only place free from prejudices,’ she said.” #BlackHistoryMonth

All. Month. Long. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Happy Black History Month. It’s about to be so lit. You don’t even know.

I feel like this month always comes with the expectations to do better and to be better, which I love, don't get me wrong. I love the opportunity to start fresh. It's nice, and for lack of a better word, refreshing. Every January for the past six years, my goal has been to make Moist Queef awesome in one way or another. To focus on it more and to really put effort into making it dope. And I usually do it. And then March and April come along and I've fallen off the wagon. Obviously, this January was no different, I want to make Moist Queef as dope as it is in my mind. I'm not gonna make any wild promises to have a certain number of blogs a month or to have a themed month. I'm just gonna do it. No promises, no expectations. I'm gonna write shit, post shit, as often as I can and that's that. • One of my biggest goals for this year was to make shit and to fail big. I have so much shit that I’ve created, that’s just sitting in my computer unfinished. And it’s just chillin because I’m afraid of people realizing it isn’t perfect, or I’m actually a fraud, or it’s garbage. I feel like all creative people come across this problem of being afraid to make stuff because they might fail or it might suck. But that’s gotta happen in order to make dope art, so I’m just gonna embrace it and be more consistent with finishing my art, whatever that may be. • Here’s to January and to 2018. Making shit. Failing big. Learning lots.

I’m trying to start each day with a dope feminist quote. Preferably by women I’m unfamiliar with, so if you’ve got any pass them along!! I found this one today that I like, hopefully it’ll inspire you too ✌🏽❤️
