It wasn’t easy to dance yesterday, but dance is the joy and brings the joy. And it is a mirror to past moments of joy. And is a telescope to future moments of joy. I dance for many reasons including to celebrate Black life instead of only lamenting it. Thanks for being on the journey. – Reza Rites, Editor/Publisher, 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK.

Because Black girls with big bellies deserve lace shirts and space to auto-choreograph and perform. And we deserve joy. Dance time y’all. #vanity4themovement #joyisthemovement #danceasdiscourse #rezarites #ambitiousblackfeminist #rezadances #carefreeblackgirl #blackgirlmagic #blacklivesmatter

I started something on my personal accounts which has felt like a different form of critical social discourse in the vein of what I like to house in 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK spaces. So here it is, and more to come. #vanity4themovement #joyisthemovement #danceasdiscourse #ambitiousblackfeminist #rezarites #3amblack #rezadances #carefreeblackgirl #blackgirlmagic
