“One thing that bothers me is how the media treats Meghan as the most empowered woman in the royal family. The media forgets the past. When we looked at history we saw powerful royal women who faced the machismo of their times and became strong female symbols, some of them: Catherine The Great of Russia, Queen Christina of Sweden and Queen Zulu Bandi Ka Bhebhe. I'm sorry when the current generation overestimates Meghan more than these women.” - Submitted by Anonymous

"I... got orders from higher up." Spy explained hesitantly.

"Who‽" Supervillain demanded to know who told their internal spy on the heroes to reveal themselves to their friends.

Spy sucked in a breath, "Indlovukazi."

Supervillain's face dropped in horror. "Oh no..." they said under their breath.

There was a knock on the doorframe as the person in question appeared just beyond it. "Knock knock losers, I'm shutting your operation down."

Some Human AU drawings I did for some non human Disney characters

A drawing I did for Lady from Lady and the Tramp in a Human AU

I imagine that, In a Human AU, Lady has dark auburn curls, sun kissed skin and big bright brown eyes

And Judy Garland is a face model of mine for Human AU! Lady

🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺🥺

A drawing I did for Duchess from Aristocats in a Human AU

I imagine that, In a Human AU, Duchess has sunshine blonde curls, fair skin, rosy cheeks and big sapphire blue eyes

And Eva Gabor is a face model of mine for Human AU! Duchess

🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺

A drawing I did of Queen Nala of Pride Rock in a Lion King Human AU

As a Zulu Queen, Human AU Nala defo be DRIPPING in Ancient Zulu accessories and attires fit for a Queen

I imagine Human AU Nala to be a gorgeous woman with dark brown skin, dark frizzy hair, and also gorgeous jade green eyes

And Queen Nandi of the Zulu and Ramonda are amongst my face models for Human AU Nala

🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺

A drawing I did of Human AU! Kiara from Lion King

As opposed to her more proper lady mom, Kiara is kind of more of a shieldmaiden, so I imagine Human AU! Kiara to have her wardrobe with a blend of Zulu shieldmaiden armors and practical yet stylish Zulu robes that allow much movement, and her wardrobe is a mix of zestiness and showing off her regal bearing as a real Zulu Princess

Makeda of Sheba and Shuri are amongst my face models for Human AU! Kiara btw

And I imagine Human AU! Kiara to have chocolate skin, dark brown hair and bright brown eyes

🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺��🥺

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.
