About

Welcome to Sassy Black Friend. Why the title? Because more often than not, in my overwhelmingly white DC progressive life, I feel like the sassy black friend, one of my favorite entertainment stereotypes.

You can learn more about the classic sassy black friend here and here.

This blog is mostly fun, and entirely me. Random, silly, sassy.


My friend J used to have this on her blog, and I thought it was a really good, quick insight into her. Hopefully it works for me too.

The 10 Pivot/Inside the Actor’s Studio Questions:

What is your favorite word?
Garlic. I love the way it feels to say it, and I love eating it too.

What is your least favorite word?
Panties. Ugh. Even typing it creeps me out. It’s just so pervy sounding. I prefer the term underwear.

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Honesty, in any context, personal or professional really inspires me. Even if I don’t like whatever it is, I appreciate honesty.

What turns you off?
Weakness. Which is kind of mean, but it’s true. I can’t stand weak opinions or people.

What is your favorite curse word?
Fuck. No question about it. The most versatile word in the English language.

What sound or noise do you love?
The ocean is by far my favorite. Whether calm or stormy, I love it.

What sound or noise do you hate?
I can’t stand that fake moronic LA accent. You know, the one everyone on The Hills has? Even just watching a commercial with it grates. Why would you want to sound like you don’t have two thoughts to rub together in your head? I may be dumb, but at least I don’t sound it.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Rock star. Just kidding, that’s not a real profession. I’d say I wish I could be a teacher.

What profession would you not like to do?
Anything that involves smelling bad. I hate being smelly. Can’t focus.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
“Holy shit, who let you up here? Well, you might as well come in. There’s room in the hot tub.” That sounds more like a porno setup than Heaven, but… well. Never mind.
