If you are black and dont agree with aligning with Ermias’ vision (not bangin) then you dont care about whats best for Black people, as a whole.
Way to write, Melina!!! now I just gotta wait for my hair to settle down again….

Thank you for sharing this truth. Without the North Star, I would never have seen the depth of oppressive actions by the police and complicit media.
Great read and spot on ???
Such an accurate and telling recollection of the truth of Nipsey’s passing. There were far too many non-black people in charge of too much surrounding his home-going service and the mourning of the community. The marathon continues but so does the struggle.
Melina, I’m beginning this with a tear falling from my cheek. This is so beautifully versed. Several times I had to pause in reading because the fine downy hairs on the back of my neck stood at attention. I’m sure my adoration and love for Ermias plays a crucial role but your words help channel these mixed emotions I’ve been having since his demise. Thank you.
