Fam! Pressure busts pipes. Target actually thought they could play games with Black people. They thought being an anchor sponsor for EssenceFest was going to stop us? It won’t. Folks, enough with giving these companies our money and they don’t do business with us!

Anyway, both EssenceFest and AfroPunk were run by passionate people who loved their events, and now a Black mogul is in charge and things are quickly going south.

So now at EssenceFest Lauryn Hill is being made to wait because every single one of the 8 acts that went on ahead of her were behind schedule. Do you know how ridiculous you have to be to be LATER than Ms. Hill?!!?!?!

AfroPunk lost its coveted spot in Brooklyn and I don't know what's going on with AfroPunk Paris and the other events. EssenceFest and AfroPunk were distressed assets due to the pandemic, but Dennis is running them into the ground.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

People - Black Americans included - overlooked the magic of EssenceFest for YEARSSSSSSS. I remember when calling it "Auntie Fest" was *not* done in love. Bc it was a boomer and X'er audience in an age where everybody was still courting millennials. NOW we're in this whole nostalgia movement...
