It's as easy as A-B-C...


 Happy Black History Month! Another  February is upon us, so it's time for the the rest of the country to recognize/celebrate how trill we are. I like to surf the internet for things I haven't seen before in regards to our litness (I'm sure that's not a word, but I'm using it) accomplishments and history. I happened to stumble upon this set of Black ABCs that I read were used in the Chicago school system back in the 1970s. These were used to instill pride into growing minds. This set is too cute. Showing our kids that they are beautiful, worthy,and relevant enough to see in classrooms. I think it'd be awesome if we could modernize them for the kids today.I would not want to see any "N is for Nae-Nae" though. Anyway, I just wanted share these. Say it loud...

Dark Girls

This is a topic that is deeply rooted in the African/American community and has been discussed by other races. The topic is the beauty or disdain of sisters of a darker hue. There is a documentary coming out that is bringing this topic to the forefront. It speaks of the ugly names, hurt feelings,emotional despair, stereotypes, and ultimately the beauty of my sisters. Following is a preview/trailer of the Bill Duke production "Dark Girls". Hopefully, this film forces to stop talking down to each other and open the lines of communication to help us heal and to share and celebrate our beauty with our future generations of every race. We are ALL BEAUTIFUL.
