What Damon has shared in this YouTube short from a recent interview will remain with me for years to come.
How apropos is this right now at this very moment?!
Millions of people will have to accept what has occurred, endure it as best as we can, and eventually come out on top.
Hold on. Be strong. Don’t ever let go.
Because I felt like sharing a little something that sat down in my spirit and had itself a peaceful rest.
Lady Obama spews long, overdue venom in the direction of a
man who believes Black people aren’t suitable for various
jobs birthed of and around their upper echelon counterparts;
and it’s a clapback doused in class.
Happy Friday, beautiful people!
This is what was trending in my “For You To View” videos this morning.
As a former track competitor, I cry every single time I watch Sha’Carri compete. I cannot adequately put into words what her race to the Olympics means to me.
I am overjoyed and ecstatic that she gets to experience Paris, France in this way; especially alongside her teammates, too.
And the embrace she received from her grandmother and love pouring out from her family toward the end really did me end, too! I felt every moment of that embrace deep in my bones.
I didn’t expect to cry happy tears this morning, but here we are.
Happy Sunday, beautiful people!
Peace and blessings.
1. Tuesday Night Dinner was a delectable treat. I hadn’t cooked fried chicken in an extremely long time.
I made a decent wet batter (two eggs, lactose-free milk, olive oil, and various spices). I used yellow cornmeal instead of flour and fried them in vegetable oil.
My Jasmine rice was simple: water, olive oil, and salt. The sweet corn was as well: white & yellow corn, salt, pepper, lactose-free milk, water, and light brown sugar.
I had leftovers for Wednesday, and it was even more delicious at that time!
2. Oscar De La Hoya Quote: I used to be a huge fan of this incomparable former boxer. His personality was always top-notch during interviews and he let his fists do the talking in the boxing ring all the time.
I don’t recall him ever being a massive trash-talker. He held his own. He may not have blown through all of his matches, but the guy was a LEGIT warrior in the ring.
And he was/is handsome, too.
The quote above struck me as instantly motivational. Judging from those few words, he didn’t allow anyone to limit what he could do. And well . . . isn’t that how we all should be?
Here’s a short YouTube video of a compilation of The Golden Boy’s “Greatest Hits”:
Shaun has such a great post up recognizing the fact that it is officially Women’s History Month.
Please stop by her blog, drop a like, a comment, and maybe subscribe for uplifting, encouraging, and peacefully-charged content regularly.
Happy Friday, beautiful people!
Yecheilyah Ysrayl of The PBS Blog has launched a new work of art. Black History Facts You Didn’t Learn In School is available on all purchasing platforms!
She has spent years researching the history facts she shares in this book, including traveling to several places to dig deeper into some of the things she discusses within it.
I’ve just carted my copy on Amazon, and I cannot wait until it’s in my hands.
Black History is America’s History! Sadly, much of it is being buried or lied about or banned, and this disgusts me, but the work must be done.
Happy Saturday, beautiful people!
