Talib supporters are now trying to get my parents fired from their jobs.
No I am not ok.
And not just his supporters, but people from twitter that saw me tweet about some of my family trauma are also trying to get my parents fired from their jobs. I only talked about my parents because I was responding to someone doxxing them, threatening us and posting our address.
I’ve been trying to avoid posting these screenshots again because they have pictures of my parents with their full names and pictures of my other family members. But I’ll address this again.
This will probably be a long thread so bear with me please.
I was not bragging about my parents' income, and I apologize if it came off that way. I was defending myself against a paid Talib Kweli supporter, Mary, in response to her doxxing us by posting the full names of my parents and I, their pictures, our address etc. DOZENS of times.
Mary posted this information dozens of times, one of which being my stepmoms job title and salary. When I saw this, I noticed she had been posting about my family and I for well over a week. I responded by speaking about my stepmother's job and the work that she does in the
community, along with providing resources for anyone who may be in need of help fleeing domestic violence; asking them to reach out to me so I could speak with my stepmom to see how her job could help them.
Mary has over 175 Twitter accounts, all of which are dedicated to doxxing anyone who disagrees with Kweli online, and she has successfully been doing so for over 10 years. She has harmed MANY people over the years, myself included.
This thread gives more weird info on Mary. Leaked messages from one of Mary's previous accounts show her telling another user Kweli provides her with the usernames of people he wants harassed and doxxed, and she would take it from there. https://twitter.com/sega_nevek/status/1286748531097849862?s=21 https://twitter.com/sega_nevek/status/1286748531097849862
More receipts.
This is one of the many pictures mary posted with talib. Here are more of her hundreds of Twitter doxxing accounts. Many people think she’s Talibs burner account(s). Here are some other people they’ve doxxed (completely unrelated to me).
After hundreds of other users would report one of her pages, 10 more would pop up in its place. Leaked messages from one of Mary's previous accounts show her telling another user Kweli provides her with the usernames of people he wants harassed and doxxed, and she would.
Once people continued helping me report these accounts, Mary then began making accounts using my last name and my stepmother's first name, and other obvious usernames mocking me. She would set her location for these accounts as my address and the area my family lives in.
Here is one of the MANY threads of me begging people to report accounts. She created over 20 of these accounts in less than 24 hours posting personal info about my parents and comparing my stepmom to Rachel Dolezal https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1285218976335826944?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1285218976335826944
Each time she made a new account, her pinned tweet was promoting Kweli’s podcast and Patreon and her one single follower was Kweli.
After my followers and I continued to get these accounts suspended (thanks y’all), Mary then tried to hack my parents Facebook accounts and emails. She emailed my stepmom a weird message threatening to kill us in support of Kweli. My stepmom deleted her Facebook.
I was very triggered and terrified when I saw these tweets and they made me immediately fear for our lives. So, I reacted in a way in which was not ideal, but I believed I was protecting myself. I suffer from crippling anxiety, and seeing my address posted several times...
Caused me to panic. I’ve been getting stuff like this literally all day every day for the past 41 days straight over THIS TWEET.
Dozens of people have been asking me to make a gofundme so they could help me in my personal life and with getting legal help. So I did, with much anxiety and hesitation. People on here and his supporters have been reporting the page as a scam, WHICH IT IS NOT.
I am NOT here to scam or harm anyone. I just want to get help by getting this abuse to stop, finish college in a healthy environment and move on with my life. I was reluctant to make this page in the first place, because I realize there are far more important things to worry abt
We are in a global health pandemic, I would NEVER want to further hurt or harm anyone, or for anyone to struggle and go without because they were trying to help me. Thousands of people have been helping me report pages and sign petitions to get this mistreatment to stop.
Nothing is working, so they encouraged me to create this page to get help and some sort of peace. Kweli has vowed to persist for the next 13 years. He claims he will never stop until I apologize for addressing colorism or delete my accounts. https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294724533228904448?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294724533228904448
This is a man with a history of abuse towards black women both on and offline. I am 24 years old trying to be self sufficient and get the help that I need, defending myself against a man twice my age with literally over 20 times my online influence and power.
Y’all have brought up me calling out a KNOWN abuser and calling him broke, after he came on here calling me a bedwench in support of Talib. The SAME abuser who was threatening to kill me for rejecting him 6 years ago. https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294647916309688320?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294647916309688320
Yes, I called him out. Not because he was once struggling, but because he has been throwing shade at me and trying to provoke me for six years now after trying to physically harm me. https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294651487604346883?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294651487604346883
More receipts. I do not attack anyone unprovoked. I mind my business until I’m attacked for no reason then I defend myself, like anyone should. https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294899793752358913?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1294653547611594752
All I have been trying to do is get help. I work very hard in real life that I take care of everyone in my life. But there are a lot of things I cannot do on my own. I need help and y’all have come up with every reason to justify why I don’t deserve it.
Sense TALIB lives in a different state that means I will have to pursue legal action in the state of his residency. This means I will more than likely have to be traveling to New York from VA to find a lawyer and do what’s necessary to get him to leave me alone. In a pandemic.
You do not have to like me or support me or my gofundme. I’m not here to steal from anyone or harm anyone. I created this platform off of bringing awareness to different issues, joking around and posting uplifting tweets. I am not an ill intentioned person in any way.
A lot of you have shamed me for trying to get help while watching me on here Constantly defending myself and trying to stop this myself for 41 days straight and have said nothing. I really just want to be left alone.
I don’t bother anyone, the majority of my tweets (prior to this) are uplifting other people and trying to help other people. I do a lot for other people off-line and in the community. Even if it means struggling myself.
I’m tired of constantly defending myself and being expected to be strong when I’m slandered nonstop. I’m trying my best. No I’m not ok. This is exactly why I do not ask for help, ever.
I do not want me speaking about some of my childhood trauma online in an attempt to help clarify and defend myself to be the demise of the work and legacy my family has been working so hard for.
am a firm believer that we do not go through hardships just to keep what we have learned to ourselves.
I shared some of my hardships online in an attempt to defend myself and my family, clarify any questions people may be having and bring comfort to others with similar experiences.
I love my family with everything in me. They are all I have in this world and I would hate for any further harm to come to us or the careers of my parents because I was trying my best to protect and defend us against someone meant to cause us harm, completely unprovoked.
, as with any parents, my siblings and I have often had issues maintaining healthy relationships with our parents. Our family history is very complicated and far from perfect, and there are many issues we as a family must continue to address and heal from; one of which being how
my parents contribute financially to their children in a healthy manner. We are all adults ages 21 and older, and are trying to build our lives for ourselves without the financial help of our parents.
This is not to disrespect or disregard all of the amazing things they have done for us, we've just come to the realization that in order for us to have healthy relationships with our parents we must be COMPLETELY self sufficient and not rely on them for help
Again, this is not a problem for me, I do not feel entitled to the things they have worked very hard for and deserve. We are adults and must be able to provide for ourselves, and I am learning to do just that.
We work very hard to be self sufficient, as they have taught and helped us to be. My relationship with my parents does not negate all of the amazing and groundbreaking work they have and continue to do.
They do a lot of things for others simply out of the kindness of their hearts. Just like me, they are not perfect and are still learning, unlearning and growing each day. I just have to pave my own way and am trying to protect myself, on my own.
Please stop trying to get my parents fired from their jobs out of your disdain for me. We have been through enough and they are trying very hard to be better than they've been in the past. I’m just trying to get help I desperately need.
If it brings you any consolation I have not withdrawn a dime from the gofundme account. I have been considering deleting it and all social media altogether; not because I could not use the help, but because Kweli and his fans continue to bring me great mental and emotional harm.
Since Talib’s Followers are reporting it as a scam anyways, the money will more than likely be returned to you all soon. I have not been given an update. Thank you to everyone who has been uplifting and supporting me through this and has helped me support all those pages.
Very great for everyone but continues to uplift me and send me support through this. Please continue to sign the petitions to have Kweli removed from Instagram and keep my family in your prayers. Love you.
Talib has also been attempting to control the media and the public perception of me by having friends of his at @theGrio and other news outlets silence my voice completely, giving him a bigger platform to slander me. https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1293991334412464128?s=21 https://twitter.com/moneyymaya/status/1293991334412464128
He is also still encouraging fans to harass me and talking negatively about me on stage during live shows. He has taken this harassment to Instagram Facebook and YouTube during and after his Twitter suspension for it.
To be clear I filed an FBI report for cyber stalking/harassment a week after this began. I was waiting to see if it would end or not, since Talib has been blocked since day one, hour one. It hasn’t. 40 days.
Please excuse all the spelling and grammar errors lol. I’m triggered.
Here are some of the very many articles written about my mistreatment. https://verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/why-are-the-men-in-talib-kwelis-life-enabling-him-to-ha-1844456941

I don’t like or enjoy any of this. I do not want fame or clout I want to be left alone. This is torture.
