welcome to amidst the glitter - a brown woman's perspective

I remember in high school, and later in undergrad passionately debating the issue of when a black writer would ever be able to drop the label of "black" and just be a pure writer.

As if one could separate and dissect the various aspects of oneself, [the human heart can beat outside of our chests without any help for only a few fleeting moments]

Every artform I practice has always been tied to my experience of this world as a woman of color, a Black woman with a white mother, a woman of mixed heritage...

and burlesque is no different.

This blog is about the beautiful sexy world of the bump and grind - from a brown woman's perspective.

My goal is to write a new blog at least once a week, but sometimes it might be more if I'm feeling inspired.

peace and pasties,
