Kehinde Thurman

Hi, I’m Kehinde! A Black girl who mastered surviving and is exploring what thriving feels like even when the world around me ain’t worthy of my fullness. But that’s what this space provides, a safe place to bring my whole self. All of the content you’ve come to enjoy in one location and a few new things. If you’re a Black girl or woman surviving and thriving, this is a space for you. And if you live and love with Black girls and women, this is a space for you too.

Consulting

I speak and facilitate workshops and trainings about issues that impact Black girls and women. I also write grants, conduct grant writing workshops and provide recommendations to best position your organization to receive funding. I’m something like a beast having consistently and successfully written six and seven-figure grants for many of the nation’s largest funders in a variety of program and policy areas including women’s rights and health, education, criminal legal system, economic justice, mentoring, sexual assault and domestic violence.

but they want me to remember
their memories

mine"

To be clear, Georgia allowing fetuses to be claimed for tax purposes will absolutely end up disproportionately harming Black and Brown folks. It sounds good to think folks will get extra money but there are so many ways it can come back to harm Black and Brown folks. Like when folks claim a fetus one year and don’t claim a child the next year, they’ll be trying to prosecute folks. Or file for child support for the fetus and then miscarry or travel to another state to have an abortion so now they have proof you were pregnant and they’ll be trying to prosecute folks. Just know that a state that doesn’t allow you full autonomy over your body is not a state that wants to help you. It’s a gaht damn setup.

Let’s face it. LeBron could have been filmed with 2 kilos in his bag and folks would still be supporting him and demanding his freedom. Brittney Griner is Black, lesbian and woman. All identities that alone will get you dismissed and disregarded in this country and many others. People will use the guilty plea as evidence that she deserves what is happening. Without considering the many innocent people who plead guilty in this very country simply because the criminal legal system will make your life more hell if you don’t. No one should be caged. And for damn sure not for drugs. We know that more people would recognize that if Brittney was white or male or straight. The other layer is the #equalpay issue that had her over there in the first place. #brittneygriner #freebrittneygriner #freebrittney fuckthesystem #fuckthecriminaljusticesystem
