Hi Reader! Happy October!

There’s something magical about watching Solange perform. She’s not just singing — she’s building an archive with her body, her sound, her visuals. She’s saying: I was here, and this moment matters. I think a lot about that when I’m sitting in my PhD classes or working on my scholarship. Every text, every reflection, every quote I drop on Instagram or TikTok — it’s part of the archive too. It’s a way of saying, “this is what this is called,” and “we were here.”

And it matters right now, especially in a moment when books are being banned, when libraries are under attack, and when our stories are constantly being erased. What feels like resistance to me is giving away books, building libraries, keeping records, and making sure that our words — especially the words of Black women — don’t get lost in someone else’s silence.

That’s part of why September was such a big deal for me. I created soooo much content — on TikTok, Patreon, Instagram, and my Substack — and honestly, it felt like I was building a little digital library every day. Social media is a lot of things, but for me? It’s a pulpit. It’s an altar. It’s a platform to archive the joy, the scholarship, the softness, the dreaming, and the resistance that shapes my work.

And the numbers don’t lie: just from being consistent, I gained over 5,000 new Instagram followers in September. That’s 5,000 more people in conversation with Blackness, with Black religion, with dreaming as resistance, with Real Soft Girl Shit, with the idea that our stories matter. It feels like proof that the archive is alive, and people are hungry for it.

It comes with audio and a mini curriculum each week.

I’m proud of myself for the discipline, yes. But more than that, I feel grateful to be contributing to the canon — even through posts, reels, captions, and newsletters like this one. Every time you share something, every time you comment, every time you say “yes, I feel this too,” you’re part of the archive with me. Together we’re building something that resists erasure.

​
So here’s my ask for the month of October: keep walking with me. Keep following, liking, sharing, commenting, and subscribing. Every gesture adds to the sustainability of the archive. Every tap keeps the story alive. Because if Solange reminds us of anything, it’s that the work of archiving isn’t just about memory —it’s about making sure the future remembers us exactly as we dreamed ourselves to be.
