Black faces. White spaces. . . . 🤎🖤✊🏾✊🏿 . As much as I try to be strong and work double time to make sure that I amplify my Black voice in spaces without BIPOC representation, my throat hurts today. The vocal strain of defending and educating all-white spaces about the importance of representation, inclusivity, and creating safe spaces where people feel they belong has put long-term stress and pressure on these vocal chords. My throat is tight and constricted. I’m deeply hurt by being pushed aside and pushed out because I am a triple minority in my previous male, white, british space. . The constant requirement to work in psychologically and physically unsafe white spaces weighs heavy on me. There are so many days where I wake up tired from the fight that hasn’t even begun. I know this is not normal and have to remind myself daily that there are safe, inclusive, respectful workplaces that truly celebrate diversity and champion the beauty of representation. Someday I hope to again work at one of those organizations. I’ve been fortunate to have worked at two: @brightscope_inc and @flow_kana. Maybe that’s enough for one lifetime. Until I can find those magical work environments again, I’ll reflect fondly on how it felt to be in those spaces. . . #deib #diversity #inclusivity #representationmatters #amplifymelanatedvoices #amplifyblackvoices #blacklivesmatter #psychologicalsafety #wellnessatwork #wellbeing (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4A3WFyT8M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Miss Jamaica Universe Toshami Calvin dons a costume that pays a nod to Queen Nanny, an 18th century leader of the Maroons. Queen Nanny was a leader of the Maroons (Kidnapped Africans who escaped from slavery) at the beginning of the 18th century in Jamaica. She was known by the British settlers as an outstanding military leader. Queen Nanny led many raids and freed up over 1000 Enslaved Africans.

Have you read The Memory Librarian? Purchase your copy on our @Facebook, @Instagram, @Twitter, @Pinterest, @TikTok, @Twitter or @Shopify store. #Audiobooks available through @librofm. Link in bio: @SistahScifi. Better yet, check it out from you local #library! Reposted from @onyxeditions Janelle Monae’s (@janellemonae) song Dirty Computer was thought provokingly 🔥🔥 She’s taken it 10 steps further, collabed with some dope creatives and come up with a collection of inclusive Afro futuristic stories for the people!! Thank you & We love to see it👏🏾 Whoever controls our memories controls the future. Janelle Monáe and an incredible array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monáe such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughts--as a means of self-conception--could be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether human, A.I., or other, your life and sentience was dictated by those who'd convinced themselves they had the right to decide your fate. That was until Jane 57821 decided to remember and break free. Expanding from that mythos, these stories fully explore what it's like to live in such a totalitarian existence...and what it takes to get out of it. Building off the traditions of speculative writers such as Octavia Butler, The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and the stakes and power that exists there. #thememorylibrarian #janellemonae #dirtycomputer #blackcyberpunk #blackauthors #blacklgbtqbooks #blackshortstories #blackscifistories #blackscifibooks #amplifyblackvoices #amplifyblackstories #blackbooks #blackliterature #blacklit #booksbyblackwomen #blackownedbookstore #blackbookstore #blackbookstagram #blackbookstagrammer #blackbookstagrammers #onyxeditions #SistahScifi @HarperCollins @monaedroid @free_kgd https://www.instagram.com/p/ChmrGRerRNU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Me and Mike Just two Black guys openly discussing mental health and working to bring effective wellbeing into the workplace. There are so few Black-led companies in the space, and we are continuing to show what’s possible and changing narratives. Wellbeing is universal. #workplacewellbeing #blackownedwellness #blackwellbeing #blackmentalwellness #inclusiveculture #blackchangemakers #trailblazers #diversityinstem #socialimpactbusiness #amplifyblackvoices #mentalhealthatwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CgG5aySD4PB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Traditional African Hairstyles
moyoafrika:
Adding new pictures to this series, where I recreate traditional old hairstyles from various African tribes, is by far my favorite. \n\nEvery time I finish one hairstyle and I watch myself in the mirror, I think, “this is my new everyday hairstyle.” \nLol, I am way too lazy to do those styles every day, but you get the point. It makes me feel truly beautiful. Cultures are made by humans; therefore, no culture in this world is perfect. African culture, in all its diversity and differences, has its flaws but has so much more beauty. Being able to do this work makes me feel like I belong to something, even though I don’t understand all of this “something.” It still feels good.\n\nWhich one is your fav ??\n.\n.\nReposted: @laetitiaky \n\n_____\n#panafrikan #blacktraveljourney #africanhistory #blacktravel #everydayafrica #africancreatives #representationmatters #blackwomentravel #Moyoafrika #amplifyblackvoices #amplifymelanatedvoices #blacktravelista #africandiaspora #blacktravelgram #blacktravelers #travelnoire

I had a mini shoot with @scribelatte for Juneteeth! I felt so beautiful in my own skin and I’m so happy with how far I’ve come. I use to hate my skin, I use to regret being born this way because it only brought me pain. Now I’m trying to embrace my own beauty and live up my my namesake. I got his shirt from @hottopic before I joined #htfanatic during black history month. The make up is from @colourpopcosmetics (still wanna be in your PR, look at me Senpai)! My lashes are normally always from @superbaddiekawaii go support them! They are a #blackownedbusiness and they deserve so much love! #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2021 #photoshoot #blackgirlmagic #blackcontentcreator #blackinstagram #blacklivesmatter #colourpop #colourpopcosmetics #hottopic #amplifyblackvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUO0lmrVFr/?utm_medium=tumblr
