See you in September

I've been feeling some kind of way ever since the Supreme court ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. UNC. I'm not angry nor disappointed.  I am not hopeless nor suicidal.  I am perplexed, though. I am incredulous. I am in desperate need of a respite and a plan of action.  So, I am off to the beach to regroup, reassess, and recharge.

What I am packing.

• Nina Simone vinyl collection,
• compilation of MLK, Jr speeches,
• a few pebbles from Harriet Tubman's childhood home, 
• fav archive Essence mags (featuring pics by Gordon Parks),
• a few bikinis I picked up in Seychelles, and
• Corine Roitfiield's new picture book, Fantasies (Yes, I got a copy before the September 2023 release date.)

Oh, yeah, and I already shipped my summer wardrobe to Cape May. (wink)  

If you stay ready you don't have to get ready.

See you in September, darlings.
