If you followed a lion all day long and witnessed the lion’s struggle for life, to eat, and at the end of the day the lion had caught and eaten a gazelle, you would probably be happy for the lion.
If you started the same story by following a gazelle and witnessed the gazelle’s struggle for life, to not be eaten, and at the end of the day the gazelle was eaten by a lion, you would probably be devastated.
The same event. Two different narratives. Two different emotions. So if you chose a different starting point, the same event can create two different judgments in a person. A person’s sense of justice depends LARGELY on which story he follows and for how long. Justice very often is nothing more than the direction we’re facing when the story begins.

Homo/Transphobia in POC spaces is the dumbest shit ever.
How can you grow up being called slurs,micro aggressed against, and hated for things you cannot control and not have implicit empathy for someone else who is the other?
You mfers goofy.

Lauren Keyana Palmer,
We like to spell out and call our legends by their full name. Isaiah 43:19 says, BEHOLD I WILL DO A NEW THING.
You stepped into our hearts and on our screens over 20 years ago and immediately you became ours. A light that beams like a 5:30 AM sunrise through a window pane in Robbins, Illinois. A laugh that echoes and reverberates like a 6-year old child named Akeelah spelling her name into a floor fan on a hot summer day.
The Character of your character has always filled every room that your spirit has touched.
You have given us permission to Speak Louder. Love harder. Dream Bigger, all while being your full self. The gag is: That thieves can never steal from champions. Let that kiki be what continues to carry you — As you have championed Black Women time and time again. Hold on to the love that you have given everyone else, but this time make sure to save some for yourself.
Mother May I tell you - that baby you will always be Keke Palmer.
Love,
#ESSENCE
