This is not a call out or a call in. I&rsquo;m not seeking a mediation nor forgiveness. Take it or leave it.</p> <p>TL;DR - I was called a user, opportunist, vulture, and lord knows what else. I&rsquo;m not here to rehash or debunk the details of that video. Those who were involved know the veracity of the details of that video. The whole thing was cruel in a deeply intimate way. A Tiktok is not how you want to receive first-time feedback. Not only that, exes, both persistent and aspiring, took to the comments to replicate a specific kind of violence that is reserved for Black fem folks and women. If <em>that</em> is community - y&rsquo;all got it and you do not have to worry about me.</p>
