Thank you TikTok family for allowing me to show up as my authentic self. Thank you for listening to me, making me laugh, making me think, and joining me in caring about what happens in the world beyond US borders. I am a better person for downloading this app. If you want to follow my journey, please find me on Substack. My birthday is January 25 and I will begin the next chapter of my life by sharing the previous ones. And I would love to have an audience as kind and supportive as you all have been to me here. If you donโt have or want to get a Substack account, Iโm RegBlackGrl everywhere. Make sure you private your account and set up two factor authentication (or whatever itโs called) for when we come back. Donโt let people steal your likeness! Who knows what we will come back to. I donโt care who saves it, I care who buys it. And I will consider what changes are ahead when we emerge from this. Lastly, donโt go quietly into this dark night! Stay angry and use that because we are going to need it. Find community offline and find your community online. Wherever we go we will find each other again. So many of you will be able to say โI knew her back whenโฆโ I hope my next chapter in life makes you all proud to have been a part of my journey. I will never forget you all. Please find me elsewhere and let me know youโre there! With so much love to my mutuals and my following friends, see you later ๐ Sincerely, Shanetta Espy
