@dr_nickiw I think those clients she had foreshadowed their relationship issues. That women who didn't pay attention to the red flags moving onto her 4th husband and the couple who cheated to be "dangerous." The advice she gave them was for herself

Love this, thank you @TheAutry

Working with descendants of Black historical figures like Jefferson Lewis Edmond. His great granddaughter, Arianne Edmonds (@EdmondsArianne) is ensuring that his contributions to Black L.A. are never forgotten.

"There are simply not enough of us in the newsroom to object effectively — not in TV, print or online, certainly not in management. So our only option is to mimic the protester’s strategy: Talk directly to the public and just talk loud." @soledadobrien

Good news, LA! Cross Colours: Black Fashion in the 20th Century has been extended until August 23. So if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you’ve got time, and if you’ve already visited but want to return with family and friends, you can!
