It was an event that was open to all who were interested in participating a Black women in Denmark picnic. That being said, I met a few new people that day, as I know others did as well! ;-)

Hi Lesley...my name is Ernest White (aka Fly Brother) and I'll be in Copenhagen this weekend (Nov 2-5), crashing with an Afro-Brazilian friend of mine getting her masters in the city. Would love to meet up for a coffee/meal if you've got time. Sorry for posting this to the comments, but I couldn't find an email address. Please let me know if you're interested and/or have time and thanks!

Still, when I heard ayahuasca’s name come out of her mouth, I felt a need to speak up for it like you’d speak up to a bully picking on your best friend. Although, in all fairness to Handler, the joke was funny, this time.   I’m using Chelsea Handler as an example here – because I know how problematic she can be. And the fact that I’m engaging with this name, is a testimony to the power of ayahuasca.   Full disclosure: I’m one of those annoying folks who refer to ayahuasca as ‘Aya.’ But according to the South African Black Consciousness Scholar Simmi Dullay, ‘Aya’ ...
