History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It's not yours to erase. It belongs to all of us.

Dorothy Dandridge broke down racial barriers and set the path for black actresses. She became the first black female to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role in Carmen Jones, and the first black woman to grace the cover of Life magazine. However, society was unable to fully appreciate Dorothy during her lifetime simply because of the color of her skin. A legend in every sense of the word, Dorothy Dandridge will forever remain the epitome of beauty and grace.

Arthur Ash Memory Eternal

Arthur Robert Ashe Jr. (July 10, 1943 – February 6, 1993) was an American professional tennis player who won three Grand Slam singles titles. He started to play tennis at six years old. He was the first black player selected to the United States Davis Cup team, and the only black man ever to win the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open. He retired in 1980. He was ranked world No. 1 by Rex Bellamy, Bud Collins, Judith Elian, Lance Tingay, World Tennis and Tennis Magazine (U.S.) in 1975. That year, Ashe was awarded the 'Martini and Rossi' Award, voted for by a panel of journalists, and the ATP Player of the Year award. In the ATP computer rankings, he peaked at No. 2 in May 1976.

Ashe is believed to have acquired HIV from a blood transfusion he received during heart bypass surgery in 1983. He publicly announced his illness in April 1992, and began working to educate others about HIV and AIDS. He founded the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS and the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health before his death from AIDS-related pneumonia at the age of 49 on February 6, 1993. On June 20, 1993, he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by United States President Bill Clinton.

Tina Turner's Memory Eternal. 😔

"For sixteen years, her husband beat her.
But on this night, Tina Turner washed the blood from her face, wrapped a cape around her bloodied clothes, covered her eyes with a pair of sunglasses, and placed a wrap on her head, because the swelling was so bad, she couldn’t wear her wig.
She ran out of the hotel, hid among the trash cans, and then ran to the Ramada Inn, where she begged for a room.
All she had was thirty-six cents and a Mobil credit card.
But after sixteen years of cruelty, she finally walked out on Ike Turner.
To be clear, it wasn’t easy. She was so worried about her safety, she stayed with friends, paying her way by keeping house. It got so bad that Tina Turner—the Tina Turner—had to use food stamps.
And yes, it’s incredible that Tina Turner built her career back from nothing.
But what’s even more incredible is the battle cry she repeated inside her head—the battle cry that gave her strength: “I will die before I go back.”
Never forget it: No matter how deep the hole is, you can always find a way out.
In their divorce, Tina Turner gave Ike nearly everything. All their money. And the publishing royalties for her compositions. “You take everything I’ve made in the last sixteen years,” she said. “I’ll take my future.”

Art teacher tells 6-year-old she did her painting 'wrong,' but Twitter says it's a masterpiece

This indeed IS a work of art. I agree 100% with Pablo Picasso, who said: “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” ~ Pablo Picasso - YES, YES and YES Again.

Social media users slammed the teacher for panning an incredible piece of art, and for trying to discourage her.

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replies:

“Who cares about perfection?
Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters.

The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths.

The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy.

So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special.

Therefore, every woman can be special to someone.

Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others”

A legend 💚

There is always more to learn.

I was having a conversation with my good friend Emily Burke, from and she said this to me as we were chatting. It just made so much sense and was a reminder that we are ALL learning.

So, here are 5 ways I am learning more about the Deaf community and I encourage you to try as well!

1- Educate yourself: Read books, articles, and watch documentaries about Deaf culture and the experiences of Deaf individuals.

2-Learn basic sign language: Learning sign language can help you communicate with deaf individuals and understand their perspective.

3-Attend Deaf events: Attend Deaf events such as social gatherings, performances, and community events to immerse yourself in Deaf culture.

4-Respect Deaf culture: Be respectful of Deaf culture, which has its own unique language, customs, and traditions. Also know that as much as you may learn, love and relate - if you are not DHH and live it on a daily basis, you will never 100% know or BE a part of Deaf culture.

5-Engage with the Deaf community: Engage with the deaf community by volunteering, working, or socializing with Deaf individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their culture and experiences.

Drop other ideas below and we can have a chat!
