Update: December 29th Return (Patreon)

This year was one full of triumphant highs and damaging lows, but I want to recall the good stuff so you can see what your monthly donations have funded! 

50 JSYK videos and vlogs were produced, all of which you can access here

Multiple threads went viral on twitter

I spoke at my Alma Mater, The Ohio State University, twice and Loyola University: Chicago

Let's Talk About Sex History was screened for students at a St. John's University forum on sexuality

I sold over 9,000 copies of Angry Black Girl in book bundle sales on my website and on Amazon. Also, over 90 people gifted copies of Angry Black Girl to complete strangers on the internet!   

I was so sure that frequently this month I would be debuting various videos and essays both here and on the free site, but so far I have not. A mixture of the holiday season, the cold weather, my upcoming vacation to Anguilla, health issues, and a slew of traumas in October/November have dampened my creativity and work ethic. I re-read scripts and essay drafts I've been writing in the past few weeks and hated them. I'm probably being dramatic, but I find them dreadful. I hate to be a grinch*, but there will not be an update to patreon until December 29th. Why? I want to return from vacation with fresh eyes and a renewed spirit. I hope that when I return I look at what I've written and love it OR immediately understand what's wrong so I can re-write. I want to publish work that I'm not hateful of, and I need just a bit more time. So in three weeks I will be posting new videos and essays while next week I will be enveloped in sheer Caribbean bliss. If you see me having fun on vacation on IG or twitter, in addition to knowing I will be hard at work again soon, please know the whole thing was paid for by my lover lol. Most of my funds are still being dedicated to the growth of Intelexual Media. Upon my return, and save for a brief trip home for Christmas, it is back to the grind that you guys have [hopefully] come to respect me for. In January I will begin accepting applications for an assistant, and things will really be kicked into overdrive because I will be turning 25 and Intelexual Media will be 2. I'm so thankful to ya'll for sticking with me while I strive towards my vision of expanding the accessibility of real history. 

I love you all!
