I don’t know a single lesbian who hasn’t described someone they dated as crazy. Perhaps she was or perhaps she wasn’t but something about dating in the lesbian community always brings up that term.

The impetus behind the Notes on Anger series, which I guest edited for Zora Magazine’s summer issue, came from the desire to know how other black women emotionally and psychologically experienced and expressed their anger, while navigating the stereotype of the angry black woman.

I didn’t have an immediate reply and she continued, “I have an address for him in Guyana.” My last memory: I’m three years old. He came for a visit and I remember the […]
NOW OPEN! SCARLET CITY ESPRESSO BAR 3960 Adeline St. in Emeryville. What Feminism Means to Jen: Being a Feminist has definitely changed meaning for me over the years. I started off being a liberal feminist, but I always had radical leanings. During the 90′s, when I was in my 20′s, the movie “I Shot Andy […]
So, I have this ‘honey do’ list. Don’t you? Even when I don’t have a honey I have a honey do list—maybe I should rename it. Anyway, I was looking for someone to help me with the things I’m bad at or just plain hate to do. I consulted Craigslist and the Lesbian pages to […]
