Happy Thanksgiving y’all! Hope however you spend the day, you enjoy it 🤎

I’m running out of elders. It happens all too quickly. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by!

Morning #blacksky We’ve claimed the 2nd week of September to celebrate, pass down, and document Black family history. Whether biological, adopted, or chosen: family is family 🫶🏾 Follow for updates and ideas for how to interview elders in your life anytime of the year 🤎🖤

We’re a holiday for those of us who identify as Black, African, Afro-anything. and the ones who raise, love on, nurture, and care for us. Simple as that. Whether you are adopted, or your family is biological, or chosen, this holiday honors and celebrates the many ways we make family 🤎🖤

When it’s relatives who’ve passed, I find it comforting. In my dreams, sometimes I’m back at my grandparents’ house down South and everybody’s there. (And those still alive but unwell are in full health.) Makes me feel like wherever these relatives are now, they’re OK and are thinking of me.

If you ever used AIM, Limewire or MySpace we welcome you #blackskyover30

Ok glad ppl can see our skeets, thanks! New followers: we’re a Black holiday for Black families (adopted, bio, and chosen). Do what you do, but know that’s who we’re building for, and we’re quick to block nonsense 🤎🖤

Testing! Can anyone see this?

Since we’re here: I love that the diaspora is celebrating Carnival world-wide, don’t let social media & pretty mas erase real elements of REBELLION in our history & culture. My favorite are the Jabs. In TnT blue/red devil. They are the most vulgar on purpose. The enslavers were terrified #islandsky

We live in a country where learning our actual history is a political fight. We are not okay.

Lol I asked my grandma this and I learned that she and her bff used to throw spit balls at my pop pop in study hall! He had just moved to Selma “from the country” and they thought he dressed funny 😫😭 he still scooped her

Are there any archivists, genealogists, family historians or memory workers in #blacksky or #blackademics?

did anybody else’s greats & grands have that one gold tooth? bc ngl that shit was fly as fuck to me growing up 😭

Thanksgiving is next week, a perfect time for interviewing elders. Each day between now and then we’ll share a question to help you get started. 1. Tell me about your hometown. What did it look, sound, and smell like?

What's something you have in common with one of your grandparents? #addtoblacksky #blackfamilyhistory

My grandmother liked to bake and so do I. My grandfather loved the quiet storm and that’s the peak of music for me.

I love nails, books, and being a social butterfly just like my grandma 💅🏾
