Nobody needs advice about ‘being themselves’ from you. Call us back when you get your period”</em>was tweeted and retweeted hundreds of times last night and Monday morning.</p> <p>Considering what black children learn about blackness, subtly and openly, in the media and in American culture, don’t we want them to have the strength and resilience to say, <em>“I am not your stereotype, but I am me”? Don’t we want them to feel comfortable in their skin? Don’t we want black children to be as free as other children? Don’t we want to inoculate little girls against the onslaught of shitty messages about black femaleness</em>? Perhaps we don’t.</p> <p>I can’t help but set reaction to Willow Smith next to the plethora of young male performers who brag about swag and girls and money without raising so much as an eyebrow. But a little black girl sings<em> “your validation is not that important to me,”</em>and all hell breaks loose.</p> <p>Much reaction to Willow Smith also confirms the way women are expected to perform femininity. One person live tweeting the BET Awards offered that Willow Smith was “turning into a little lesbian,” and that wasn’t the only message speculating on the 11-year-old’s sexuality or questioning her gender. Another tweeter snarked that rapper Tyga and Willow are one in the same.</p> <p><strong>There would be nothing wrong if Willow were to identify as a lesbian or a boy, but what narrow parameters are we placing on girls and women if simply wearing our hair short, sporting a button down over skinny jeans, and daring to mount a skateboard dictates all anyone needs to know about who we are and who we love?</strong></p> <p><strong>What’s the problem?</strong> If I had a little girl, I would be excited as all get out if she were like Willow Smith. I wish I had been more like Willow at 11. (But then, I don’t have multimillionaire parents, which makes some difference, yes?). We lament the presence of strong role models for our children. They could certainly do a lot worse than idolizing a seemingly smart, engaging, self-assured, quirky black girl. That so many of us don’t recognize that says a lot about our society — none of it good.</p> <p><strong>»</strong><em> <a href="http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2012/07/the-willow-test-what-eaction-to-willow-smith-says-about-us/" target="_blank">The Willow Text: What the Reaction to Willow Smith Says About Us</a></em></p> </blockquote>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/27219682151http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/27219682151Sat, 14 Jul 2012 18:46:49 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dFUXqQWX-oA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>*new video* i flow heavy. lil maxi. #letpumbefree</p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/26296051157http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/26296051157Sun, 01 Jul 2012 16:43:46 -0400<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MZ3Ha2G5ctM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>*new video: let pum be free. </p> <p>advance tickets to our show are now on sale. </p> <p><a href="http://pommeisfrenchforapple.com/tickets/" target="_blank">http://pommeisfrenchforapple.com/tickets/</a></p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25434160894http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25434160894Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:32:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nw79s5ri1r7bs3io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25157913487http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25157913487Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:59:32 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nw0gzSU71r7bs3io2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nw0gzSU71r7bs3io4_500.jpg"/><br/> mad gyals with our video man, nathan. <br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nw0gzSU71r7bs3io3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nw0gzSU71r7bs3io1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>stills from our latest video shoot. </p> <p>check our new channel, POMMETV on youtube for all our videos. </p> <p><a href="http://youtube.com/pommetv/" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/pommetv/</a></p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25157776694http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/25157776694Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:55:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m31iqgrGoF1r7bs3io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>india knows what’s up. #pumpumpowah (good lookin out cara <3)</p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783780832http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783780832Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:54:16 -0400<p>next up: </p> <p><strong>pomme is french for apple</strong> will be in the 2012 toronto fringe festival running july 4 - 15. </p> <p>tickets will be $10. that&#8217;s mad cheap, y&#8217;all. </p> <p>be there. bring friends. <em>get into it</em>. </p> <p>xo</p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783634100http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783634100Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:49:57 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m31i80FcGc1r7bs3io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>happy holi!</p> <p>mountainside, tamil nadu, india. </p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783416197http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/21783416197Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:43:12 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u4zpBNWWp8Y?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>shit pums say. love it. share it. and most importantly…come. <3</p>http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/16918991040http://pommeisfrenchforapple.tumblr.com/post/16918991040Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:46:39 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymckkBykg1r7bs3io1_500.jpg"/><br/> photo: SIDDIQUI<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymckkBykg1r7bs3io2_500.jpg"/><br/> photo: SIDDIQUI<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymckkBykg1r7bs3io3_500.jpg"/><br/> photo: SIDDIQUI<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymckkBykg1r7bs3io4_500.jpg"/><br/> photo: SIDDIQUI<br/><br/> <p>pics from our photoshoot with SIDDIQUI (zahrasiddi.tumblr.com). styled by hilary&denise. it was a love fest!
