#FulfulFriday It's Friday! The 13th! With a full moon! On the 9th month of the year! Some think of it as creepy or wild. The next one won't be til 2049! What does that mean for you? Whatever you want! I like to use rare occurrences like my own mini New Year! Its also the 9th month which means jts the perfect time for birthing greatness! I suggest you go out tonight! By yourself or with friends. Put on a nice outfit, your good jewelry, and treat yourself to a grand time. Weather that you thank the last eight months for all of its lessons or prepare for the next few months and all of its blessings, take time to be in awe of the fact that you are still here on this very rare and glorious day! Happy Weekend! See ya Sunday! #FulfulFriday #friyay #friday #fridaythe13th #fridaynightlights #fullmoon
#ThankfulThursday I am absolutely thankful for the opportunity to have met, just yesterday, someone I credit with my love for poetry, my deep desire to fight the powers and shake up the status quo, and a intense love for TuPac lol! Nikki Giovanni! 4 years ago I was supposed to meet her but my pregnancy took a turn and I could not. I was so disappointed. So to learn yesterday that the event I was going to, she was set to be there, I cried. You must shake the hands of your heros and ancestors. You must learn everything they have to give. You must thank them for their contribution to your life. For that moment, I grateful! I'm honored and I'm thankful that another opportunity was supplied. I'm inspired. Tell me, what are you thankful for? #ThankfulThursday #thursdayhersday #thursday
#WokeWednesday The Crushers Club came under attack this week when a photo was posted on social media with the status "Cutting off dreads for a change and better life." The picture was of white women cutting the hair of two black teens. They later stated that the cutting is not a common practice and they did so because they were asked. However, this sparked a conversation about ignorance. The orginization simply stated that they didn't understand the backlash the comment or actions would cause. I, for one, believe them. Because without exposure to cultural differences or experiences, we're all subject to be in ignorant bliss of our insensitive and appropriating ways. Think about it, have you ever worn traditional cultural accesories without any understanding of its origin or mocked along to someone's language or accent? This is the act of us perpetuating the type of ignorance coupled with a lack of knowledge that lends to two white women not knowing that cutting off a black person's hair from a position of authority while claiming it is to better them would be triggering for the oppressed communities. Don't be that person! It's not difficult to be aware of your actions and not allow your privileges to demean people. It's not difficult but it does take diligence. #WokeWednesday #wcw #crushonme #crushonyourself
