Big Rose and Robert fan here. And I’m so happy I got to talk to you both face to face (via Zoom) recently. 🥰 I love (love love) your writing but I like your talking even more. And I love the way you uplift and complement/compliment each other. 💛✨

You and all yours are so welcome. Special shoutout to baby Myles. May he always be surrounded by those who help him remember his softness. 🖤✨

The idea of softness as aliveness is something I am holding onto very tightly today. For me softness, is only possible when I come back to myself. When I am making an intentional choice to be with my soul and body. That is when I can listen to my body and hear myself with clarity. That is when I am most alive.

That poem "an affirmation for the soft black man" is beautiful—thank you so much for sharing it. Just beautiful, beautiful words and meanings.
