That literally means the world to me. Thank you.

I dont trust or depend upon anyone more than myself. I am my absolute best ally and friend. I dont break promises to myself. And I can retreat into myself to find peace.

My therapist always says “if there’s anyone I’d bet on, I’d bet on you.” To always look back on my own track record. That I have proven I am someone who doesn’t need anybody. I can thrive on my own. I can do anything. And that self trust will get me through any hard task.

My hair is so beautiful. It grows so fast these days just like my nails.

This is NOT an issue of private prisons. Private prisons are only 10% of all prisons in this country. 41 states of prisons are doing this. ALL OF THEM need to be abolished.

This is not a southern problem. Up north, incarcerated people make janitorial supplies like brooms, mops, & office supplies. Out west, they can meat and produce canned foods, work factory farms, and fight wildfires. In the flyover states, our children sit in desks and ride in buses made by prisoners

Having to work my full time job as an epidemiologist, run my nonprofit, finish these book edits, and care for myself and my mother while she is in her 8th day at the hospital has really been the most stress I have ever been under. I pray all this work produces good fruit. That it all matters to God.

The media always talks about "class war" or "race war" as if they're not already happening. This is an example of both. Making someone pay for their imprisonment is grinding the heel in the back of their neck, just to make sure they know their place.

All my posts are going viral everywhere. I am so happy people, even my FAMILY, are asking questions about women and incarceration. I love all the criticism and questions both. It means people are THINKING. Thats all I ever wanted to contribute to this. People THINKING of these women.

It was so sad. But I was letting my SOUL out.

@geauxgabrielle.blacksky.appOct 11, 2026, 2:14 PM

Tinashe did NOT lie when she made Nobody Wanna Dance No More. We were at the Hayley Williams concert last night & it was sad that our section (which had a bunch of Black folks & some lit white girls) were GOING UP and thats it. Even Rico Nasty up there RAGING & the whole crowd was silent except us.

I should clarify this is for those PAROLED.

No ma’am. Only 10% of prisons are private prisons. ALL PRISONS use this profit generating metric. It is not private prisons. It is ALL prisons.

(2/2) These women cant strike, unionize, and have no RECOURSE for sexual or physical violence when FORCED to work. No breaks. No off days. No PPE alot of the time. No OSHA protections in that factory. They are slaves.

@geauxgabrielle.blacksky.appOct 11, 2026, 1:26 PM

(1/2) This is the eternal debate about prison jobs and I include it in my book. The issue is not that ALL WORK behind bars is bad. Alot of these people will tell you it gives them a sense of purpose. BUT that cannot be separated from the exploitation and VIOLENCE used to produce this work.
