recovery posse
A bit of my story
This GivingTuesday I’m raising money for The Blackyard Collective NYC and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500.
The Blackyard Collective is a support network for Black queer people recovering from addiction and alcoholism, whose goal is to build and sustain a community of care grounded in self-love and mutual respect.
We host shared meals, social gatherings, and spiritual retreats that center queerness, Blackness, and wellness in order to uplift the dignity of our identities and experiences so that we might live free from addiction and alcoholism.
Every little bit helps.
Thank you for your support.

have a great holiday
Bad or good cranberry sauce is not a reason to use… stay connected!
You are loved even if the turkey is dry.
Don’t put raisins in the potato salad, and dont use over it.
Your shameless uncle and judgemental auntie are not reasons to use. Call somebody and vent about it.
You are an adult… you can leave the table, grab your coat, and go home at any time you wish.
You need not endure insults from anyone, nor is there any amount of pumpkin pie worth giving up your sanity for or giving up your recovery.
