Happy Juneteeth
Juneteenth, a testament to resilience and might, A beacon of freedom, shining ever so bright. We remember the past, embrace the present with glee, For in unity we find strength, forever we'll be free.

African Hair Threading
Hair Threading has been part of the Black hair scene for many generations. It consists of wrapping sectioned hair in thread. This method of wrapping the hair in thread strengthens the hair without excessive manipulation, which is beneficial for your strands. Not only does the style strengthen the hair, but it also promotes growth.
The style comes from Sub-Saharan African countries and grew its popularity in West Africa, particularly, South Nigeria. Learn more here

Bantu Knots and Hi-Top Fades
The Zulu people of southern Africa originated Bantu knots, a hairstyle where the hair is sectioned off, twisted, and wrapped in such a way that the hair stacks upon itself to form a spiraled knot (Source). Learn the history of Bantu Knots
The hi-top fade or flattop originated in the U.S. military around the ‘40s and ‘50s. By the mid-eighties, Black barbers began to reimagine the hairstyle, and due to its resemblance to Queen Nefertiti’s Empress headpiece, some speculated the hairstyle's origin. The hairstyle grew as a trend when worn by the like of Grace Jones, Doug E. Fresh, and Salt-N-Peppa.

Afro
As far as hairstyles go, there's nothing Blacker than the Afro. In the 1960s, after decades of subjecting themselves to European beauty standards, Black folks decided to take back their hair. This newfound self-acceptance was widely known as the Black Is Beautiful movement, which sprang from the Black Power movement. The 'fro was rocked by Angela Davis, Huey P. Newton, and Jesse Jackson while fighting oppression; the hairstyle quickly emerged as a symbol of Black beauty, liberation, and pride.

Congrats to Da’Vine Joy Randolph who just became the 10th Black  woman in the 96-year-history of the Academy Awards to win an Oscar for Supporting Actress!   In her acceptance speech, the 37-year-old thanked her former drama teacher, Ron Van Lieu. “When I was the only Black girl in that class, when you saw me and you told me I was enough.    Randolph was the heavy favorite after winning other awards including a Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Critic’s Choice Award.   In “The Holdovers”, Randolph plays a prep school cook who lost her son. And it’s not the only time she has popped off the screen.   Our sis has got major acting chops and here’s five of our fave roles:   5) Her breakout role playing ‘70s actress Lady Reed in 2019’s “Dolemite is My Name” starring Eddie Murphy as filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore.   4) Her portrayal of Billie Holiday’s assistant/confidant Roslyn in Lee Daniel’s “The United States Vs. Billie Holiday” in 2021.   3) Her recurring part as Poundcake, the onetime fellow inmate of Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson).   2) As the resourceful Detective Williams, Da’Vine co-stars with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez who play podcast sleuths  in “Only Murderers in the Building”.   1) Her tender portrayal of grieving mom Mary Lamb in “The Holdovers” which just earned her an Oscar!   What’s your favorite?

We are tired of apologies. We don't want apologies. They don't mean it. It trivializes the issue. People need to stop thinking "oops my bad" makes everything all better. It doesn't.
That’s like if an unfaithful man/woman says yes I have cheated but I still want you and I love you NO THE HECK YOU DONT BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO HURT THEM INTENTIONALLY!
A racist apology is like a gop thought and prayers after a school shooting: to hell with that , shove it, fquck that and you!
WE WANT PEOPLE TO STOP BEING BLATANT RACISTS!
