Following up on the last post, I wanted to talk more about the tactics of some of the protesters who frequent the clinic because I think it's important to be aware of the lengths these people will go to shame, race bait, deceive, and invade the privacy of PP's patients.

Misfit and Activist...?

As you all are aware, I am a passionate pro-choicer and recently decided to embark upon a volunteer-ship with Planned Parenthood.

Well after volunteering for a while, I thought I'd share some of my experiences here as this has been one of the most affirming, powerful things I have ever done.

Note: This will probably be a two-parter cause I have a lot to address.

I know I haven't posted in a little while so I wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and all, I've just had house guests!

Traveling While Female

As I've mentioned here before, I'm headed to Turks & Caicos next month on my first "exotic, single girl vacation"!

So far, I've got a spa day planned, a sunset wine cruse planned, and lots and lots of beach dwelling and relaxation on my agenda.

While, I'm full of excitement, I also need some travel tips.

A few days ago I was listening to a podcast of The Michael Baisden Show regarding whether or not men can overcome and forgive the infidelity of their female partner.

About a week ago, I stumbled upon a movement called the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act" and it's coinciding website "Rescue Marriage" whose mission is to "Safeguard marriage from the evils of divorce" and totally outlaw divorce in the state of California.

The other day, my very good White friend and I were discussing the infamous Valley Swim Club incident that occurred last month. While I was undoubtedly pissed about it, I didn't express ANY shock at all. She, on the other hand, expressed complete dismay and utter disbelief over the fact that these young Black children could be discriminated against so brazenly, and at such a tender age.

Her dismay was genuine but I couldn't help but wonder why the hell she was so surprised...do White people think minorities don't begin experiencing racism until they're "old enough to handle it"? That childhood insulates you from racist sentiments and attitudes?

I had to relay a few incidents that I endured at a young age to her, one of which I thought I'd share here...
