shout out to this movie for teaching me how to spell words that i've never found the opportunity to use in real life lol

#i hope it's very obvious that the jump rope is in the shape of the letter 'B'#also i attended an all black school when this movie went to theaters #so you Better Believe that every black girl there around my age knew how to spell p-r-e-s-t-i-d-i-g-i-t-a-t-i-o-n. 'prestidigitation'#(that's correct!)#akeelah and the bee #is perhaps a top 3 iconic keke palmer movie and i can still probably recite a Ton of scenes from this movie #tho i will say it Got Old being a black girl who wore glasses and being called 'akeelah' when this movie came out lol #my art #artists on tumblr #keke palmer #the anatomy may be wonky. but i don't even care anymore! i had like more than 5 potential jump rope poses that looked even worse than this #this was as good as it got (and i used a reference from Another classic keke palmer movie- jump in!)#huh. if i had a nickel for every time keke palmer starred in a movie with a spotlight on black youth culture and jumping rope #i'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot but it's pretty funny

Fun fact: if you look up the word “charisma” in the dictionary, it’s just a picture of Keke Palmer

#yes I did just see nope for a second time #but she truly is the definition of charisma like no one is doing it like her #keke palmer #nope movie #true jackson vp #akeelah and the bee #jump in

4 Black Girl Geniuses With Spectacles

In honor of Black History month, I would like to commemorate all the Black girl geniuses of the world, who don't shy away from their spectacles.

Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson

Hidden Figures is the definition of a Black girl genius. Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson with no doubt inspire young Black girls to pursue S.T.EM. The real Katherine Johnson will also inspire Black girls that even when the odds are against them, to never hold back their intellect.

Keke Palmer as Akeelah

Akeelah and the Bee is what got me into Scrabble. Keke Palmer as Akeelah makes spelling bee competitions inspirational and aspires Black girls to make their dreams come true.

Storm Reid as Meg

Meg is as brilliant as she is fearless. DuVernay's choice to cast Storm Reid as Meg gives a wider spectatorship for Black girls to see themselves through Meg. One of the key aspects in A Wrinkle in Time is the power of believing in yourself, a very powerful message to send to all girls of different shades.

Lunella Lafayette as Moon Girl

Lunella's afro puffs, round spectacles, and tech-savvyness, inspires Black girls to embrace their blackness. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur shows how Black girls can be heroes of our through our wits and individuality.

Rewatching Akeelah and the Bee. Young Keke Palmer is so endearing!

Javier is a real one. When he was stalling so Akeelah wouldn't be disqualified! 😭

Dylan's father is so hateful. Hopefully Dylan gets closer to Akeelah and Javier and becomes a decent person when he grows up.

All of the relationships are so great. Her relationship with her oldest brother who's in the army. And her older sister! And her best friend! I love all the different ways they show up for Akeelah. And how that expands to her entire community rooting for her and supporting her. It's so healing to watch a young Black girl be loved on by so many people.

Also, I want Akeelah's mom and her spelling coach to get married.

And they all lived happily ever after, the end.

the scene in Akeelah and the Bee where she reads Dr Larabee for dirt hits the same as Lizzzie Bennet refuses Darcy’s proposal.
