The Black diaspora exists, yet we're all similar. In Panamá, Black Panamanians who lived segregated and were 'silver employees' (Canal Era) got paid in silver as US Workers got paid in gold. Panas said nah & started wearing all Gold jewelry + teeth making it a part of la cultura
this entire Jalen situation is much bigger than just a QB dealing with an injury, it’s about the utter neglect and mistreatment of black people when it comes to medical care.
that girl who didn’t answer her phone when her mama was calling her because she ran into Cornell Young I know she cried when she realized it was him calling her off her mama phone
THIS is why preserving music video archives matters. Mariah Carey’s “Loverboy (Remix)” was shot on 35mm film back in 2001, and this new 4K restoration was reconstructed shot by shot from the original film elements. David LaChapelle’s colorful visuals still look incredible 25 years later.
rest in peace to this beautiful soul, Morgen Gamble. 🕊️
Morgen was a student at Clark Atlanta University who tragically lost her life in a car accident Tuesday night.
she was majoring in television, film, and radio and had the opportunity to appear as an extra in A Different World. a young woman with so much life ahead of her and dreams she was working toward.
sending my deepest condolences to her family, friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. may she rest peacefully. 🤍
And yes, I do believe the friendships you form in your early years are often rooted in proximity, while the ones you form in adulthood are rooted in alignment.
Thinking about Alexis Crawford, the Clark Atlanta student whose roommate boyfriend raped and killed her with the help of the roommate. Never let these bird brain bitches gaslight you into being comfortable with a living arrangement that you did not sign up for.
Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad tell Michelle Obama they were JEALOUS of each other’s beauty growing up, and connect it to the COLORISM and constant messages about SKIN TONE they heard as kids 😲👀
“We grew up with that foolishness, that colorism foolishness, because, you know, that brown paper bag foolishness. And I remember one time Phylicia loved chocolate milk, and we were drinking chocolate milk, and my uncle said to her, ‘Girl, you better drink all the WHITE MILK you can.’”
