Introduction In many ways, I am just Lilia. I am simply the Lilia who needs and is needed, who loves and is loved, who is confident and hopes to inspire confidence. In still other ways, I am more than that name. I am a Black woman physically, emotionally, and intellectually searching for both a better understanding of my world and people with whom to share that. I am a one-woman Movement, married to a White man of like mind, raising, and meeting allies all the time.
Interests Most importantly: racism, classism, sexism, patriarchy... and how they interact with me my life and my family. Secondarily: debate, poetry, human rights and civil rights in a more conventional sense, critical legal studies and critical race feminism as academic theories
Favorite Music Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, Etta James, Billie Holiday, John Legend, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Alicia Keys, India Arie
Favorite Books Talking Back, Autobiography of Malcolm X

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:

There is no story to be told here; the frog got a wig because he was bald. On this blog, there are going to be many bald frogs with wigs. Each dated entry is not representative of my being today, but merely of a step on the path I've walked. Don't take them apart; just take them all in. Don't ask me why I was wearing a wig; it is fairly obvious I was bald:)
