My name is Mariah, I'm a 28-year-old university graduate, wife, and stay at home mom of two. I started mariahkrystal.com because of my love for writing and sharing with others online. You might leave here crying, laughing, or inspired. Either way, I hope you get something out of coming here. Writing is my favorite form of expression, after all, so let’s talk about it!

“Protest is telling the truth in public. Sometim “Protest is telling the truth in public. Sometimes protest is telling the truth to a public that isn’t quite ready to hear it. Protest is, in its own way, a storytelling. We use our bodies, our words, our art, and our sounds both to tell the truth about the pain that we endure and to demand the justice that we know is possible. It is meant to build and to force a response.” —DeRay Mckesson #BlackOutTuesday #NoJusticeNoPeace ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I fear for my husbands life every time he leaves t I fear for my husbands life every time he leaves this house. Whether he is going out for his nightly walk, going to the store, taking the kids to the doctor, or just going to work. ⁣ ⁣ It’s disgusting how often he experiences racism. We live in a predominantly white city and the amount of sh*t he gets just because he’s black makes me sick. ⁣ ⁣ One time while in the barbershop CUTTING HAIR, a white man needed to use the ATM behind my husband and the first thing this man says to him is “oh don’t rob me!” WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS MINDING HIS BUSINESS DOING HIS JOB. ⁣ ⁣ Another instance was at another job where he worked with a team of men where he was the only black man. A white man decided it was ok to constantly berate him and call him racial slurs while on the job. ⁣ ⁣ While these are only experiences he has told me about I’m sure he has encountered MANY. I’m also not saying all white men are racists but majority of the prejudice my husband has experienced has been with a white American man. ⁣ ⁣ Thankfully my husband hasn’t had a negative experience with the police but that doesn’t mean the fear still isn’t there. The last time we got pulled over was for failing to signal when turning out of our neighborhood. ⁣ ⁣ My first instinct was to turn my phone on and start recording. Why? We didn’t have anything in the car. We hadn’t been drinking. It was a routine traffic stop for failure to signal. Our bad. But I was scared sh*tless and if anything were to happen to my husband I know I would need full proof. ⁣ ⁣ Even as a black woman when I see the police I am mortified. When I’m in danger my first instinct isn’t to call the police anymore. I’d rather call my family instead, at least I know 100% I’d get the help I need and make it out alive. ⁣ ⁣ #blacklivesmatter because WE are constantly being killed for non deadly crimes. Routine traffic stops have become death sentences. Mass murderers are being given f*cking cigarettes while they wait to be escorted to jail. ⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile our men are being KILLED while begging for their lives by men and women who have sworn to protect US. Make it make sense. ⁣ ⁣ #georgefloyd #ahmaudarbery #stoppolicebrutality #houstonblogger #wifelife
