​Warriors…so many warriors of love in this world who go unnoticed…I guess instead of venting and spewing,  it’s time to share light, love, courage, and  people who live ordinary lives doing ordinary things who make an extraordinary impact on the people around them.

“Use your privilege to change the world” the quote that most embodies Ms. Fancy.  I’m not sure in a short little blog post I can convey the love and hate in this fiery woman’s heart and soul.  Her heart is full of love; love for humanity, love for those in need, love for those who…well for those who need love.  Ms Fancy is love, and yet she holds open  a bit of space for hatred…hatred for racism, bigotry, homophobia, inequality, and hypocrisy.  

A mother and a career woman, Fancy can cook a gourmet booze filled meal while saying words that’d make Eddie Murphy blush and still leave you feeling like you’re completely surrounded by love.(she might not like me saying this…but sorry Fancy, it’s true…love isn’t confined to social norms, love is feels…and you bring them )

Warrior Fancy will mince no words when it comes to human rights, and she wastes no time on people who spread hatred.   She won’t keep you around on fb so she can troll your racist comments, she does what a warrior does…deletes your ass and moves on.

She spends her spare time cooking, living, loving and working on a start up organization to fund scholarships for college bound youth in the arts field by selling children’s artwork.

I’ve reached out to her and gotten honest advice on potty training, teaching kids about racism, and my own writing.  

She grew up in a town where different was NOT ok…where it got you labeled, feared, rumored about and beyond.  She left podunk and never blinked.   

She saw and witnessed firsthand the true inhumane treatment that our fellow humans face everyday and she was NOT ok with it. She didn’t turn her head away from the pain of seeing it, she turned INTO the pain and faced it head on with a heart full of piss and vinegar and a dash of love and never looked back.

Fancy and I disagree on some things, mostly our spiritual beliefs, and I don’t love her in spite of that…I love her because of it.  She is FANCY, she radiates love and vulgarity and fun and she isn’t about acceptance, because acceptance implies settling, or tiers of humanity where those who think they are better get to decide who is OK.  She makes no apologies and she’s never asked me to make any for who I am either.  

She doesn’t like prayer, and I do. She likes the “C” word , I don’t.   

Fancy, you are what this world needs right now.  A heart who cares, a head who has no tolerance for ass backward thinking and a soul who longs to connect and live and love and laugh.  For the love of Fancy, she camps with Tiaras and gowns..  ROCK ON WARRIOR FANCY, you are a change maker.
