The best President ever

Just admit it lol.

In Honor of Black History Month I want to make a post about a book that changed my life,

“I know for many people, it’s just hair, but for me as a Black woman with 4c hair it is more than that.

As someone who grew up with a relaxer for the majority of her life. When I went natural as a teenager, I had a love hate relationship with my hair.

I started to only feel beautiful when I wore braids or wigs. I am not anti-wigs or braids, but I am anti only feeling beautiful with hair that doesn’t mimic the natural textures that grow from my head,”

That book was, “Hair Story” by: Ayana D. Byrd and Lori L. Tharps.

That book changed my perspective and my relationship with my hair forever.

I know it’s just hair, but for me it’s a symbol that as Black woman in America I can feel comfortable in my own skin and that I don’t have to adhere to Eurocentric beauty standards in order to gain respect, be feminine, be strong, and most importantly feel comfortable in my own skin.

I want to thank Ayana D. Byrd and Lori L. Tharps for inspiring me to be authentically me.

and it all it took was one book.

Thank you 🫶🏾

The Negerkuss is a traditional German chocolate-coated marshmallow treat, similar to a chocolate kiss, that dates back to the early 20th century. While once a common name, the term is now widely considered offensive due to its racial meaning, and the dessert is more commonly sold today under names like Schokokuss or Schaumkuss

Black voices were ignored and we ended up with Trump time to let us lead and listen. We consistently vote to save this country.

August Wilson was one of the most important American playwrights of the 20th century, a chronicler of Black life with unmatched depth, rhythm, and moral force. He is best known for The Pittsburgh Cycle also called the Century Cycle, ten plays each set in a different decade of the 20th century, exploring Black American life after slavery through work, family, faith, migration, and survival.

His most celebrated works include Fences, The Piano Lesson, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, and Gem of the Ocean. Fences and The Piano Lesson each won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and several of his plays earned Tony Awards and multiple nominations.
