A Letter to the Girl Behind Nicki Minaj’s Persona

My Truth:

Reunions, voting, and Nolan

By LaTosha Brown

The author calls out Minaj’s jarring pivot from undocumented poster child to MAGA cheerleader, letting the president leer at her for applause. My grandmother used to say the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. This administration has done all three. And now Nicki Minaj has pulled up a chair at that table. Where I’m from, we’d say she’s eating the devil’s pie. In 2018 she told the world she came here as an undocumented child at five.

When I wasn’t in deep discussions about “back in the day,” there were a two other issues that we talked about. At the top of the list, it was a toss-up between voting and Nolan Wells. It seems like I wasn’t the only one hoping for some flips, especially in Florida, Georgia, and Texas.

October is over, and the margin for error is getting smaller. Saturday’s HBCU football slate delivered rivalry drama, overtime thrillers and a few results that could reshape conference races. Alabama A&M escaped with another Magic City Classic victory, Southern delivered one of its most convincing performances of the season, and Johnson C. Smith showed it has a playmaker capable of changing a championship race. But not everyone left Saturday feeling good. Bethune-Cookman.

Black Adults Face a Higher Dementia Risk. These 3 Habits May Help.

By Jessica Daniels

Your brain’s future may hinge on three key health factors in middle age. A study published Aug. 5 in the journal Neurology Open Access found that adults with normal blood pressure, no diabetes and no history of smoking between the ages of 45 and 65 lived dementia-free nearly 13 years longer than adults with all three risk factors. “Our findings argue that people need to actively avert these factors in midlife as a strategy for preserving brain health for more than a decade,” said senior author Dr. Josef Coresh, director of the Optimal Aging Institute at NYU Langone in New York City.

DAILY REMEMBRANCE

I'm with you always.

With every breath, remember the fragrance.

You saw so much taken from me and yet, you only saw me.

My body shrinking.

My hair thinning.

Everything, so different.

And yet, you still saw me.

And I saw you.

At my side.

Holding my hand.

Looking into my eyes and seeing me.

I'm lifted from the pain.

My cure was not what we had hoped for.

But I'm cured.

I'm healed.

I'm lifted and at peace.
