It’s hard being a ratchet nerd. Knowing how to deconstruct Foucauldian theories as well as you can Cardi B’s “Bickenhead” requires pure magic. This is for women of color who are into books as much as they are birds. Here is a place to be affirmed in your journey toward being educated and crunk, at the same damn time! Truth is, the world would be a much better and safer place if we JessDecolonize(d) the way we talk about and engage sex, politics, education, pop culture, professionalism, and even faith. Welcome to where multi-dimensionality meets intentionality. Welcome to JessDecolonize(d).
Colonialism is more than a historical event, it is a persisting and pervasive contemporary process. The effects of this process impact nearly every area of our lives, especially the lives of those of us who reside in the “Global South.” In the Caribbean, colonialism and its consequences impact our political statuses, economies and social systems of identity and class.

A Case of Living Even in the Midst of Death
We deserve to live. And we deserve to do everything in our power to do so. Period. We must disrobe ourselves from the lies that say we don’t deserve peace and escape. We will not survive if we don’t take the time to rest, heal, and reset—for as long as that will take. (Sn: excuse the wind and hailing rain in the background of this recording—#itsjustislandlife)
