'I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.' Kanye West




Justin Timberlake - Not A Bad Thing

The unbelievable artist will always deliver true art. He never ceases to disappoint and I'm excited for Part 2!

Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts

Pageants are for those that lack self-esteem. Though I will contradict myself and say that pageants are also something beautiful but the moment they say you are too fat, and that you need to dream bigger or cause you to starve yourself. Then I'm against beauty pageants.


 Pharrell - Marilyn Monroe

An album dedicated to the female gender made by a phenomenal man of the 21st century who has a keen eye for everything that's great.


Childish Gambino ft Problem - Sweatpants

I don't believe often find myself watching celebrity interview but Childish Gambino's interview on The Arsenio Show was extraordinary. He spoke from the heart and I believed everything he said.


Alicia Keys - It's On Again 

Huge inspiration in my life. Great music. Great mind. She just keeps bringing it. There's nothing that she can't do.


Future ft Kanye West - I Won

He totally did cause he's got Ciara's heart. Future is the future of rap music because his new album Honest is to die! With great collabs featuring incredible artists; you won't wanna miss out on it.


Izzy Azalea ft Charli XCX - Fancy

She made a video out of one my favorite all time movies, so it was a definite must that I should watch the video and she dug it. My new love is Izzy Azalea xox


YG ft Drake - Who Do You Love?

So much talent erupting right now and it's true, trust me. I'm loving YG's album My Krazy Life. He's got sick songs that might have just become my life anthems, Sorry Mama being one of my favs off the album. 


T-Pain ft B.O.B - Up Down (Do This All Day)

They ratchet ass artists gotta be bragging up their stripper lives with a ratchet BBQ. Why weren't we invited!?


YG ft Lil Wayne, Rich Homie Quan, Meek Mill & Nicki Minaj - "My Nigga (Remix)

The beat got sick! Freakin' awesome lineup, like what up with that?

96

" 25 years ago today, 96 men, women and children lost their lives at Hillsborough. We will never forget them.The thoughts of everyone at LFC, as always, are with the 96, their families, survivors and all affected by the tragedy." Liverpool FC 


To those 96 souls, that lost their lives
True Liverpool spirit still goes on, it will survive anything
Reds and Blues shed sorrowful tears for you all
Your memory will never cease

Through thick and thin
We got through it all because of you
You made us stronger and closer 
And I hope we've made you proud
We'll never  back down but always believe


Although that fateful day lives through us
Red fans will come together to grieve and to pray
We won't neglect or forget instead 
We'll remember and reflect

We believe in justice and always will
Teams joined hands in hands
Respect is paid to you because you earned it
We'll never give up but will always strive to achieve


96 souls were lost, but we gained new souls
96 souls were lost, but teams united
96 souls were lost, but a city was built
96 souls were lost, while we became our true selves

We are Liverpool
We are Phoenixes
We always rise from our ashes even in the worst 
That's why "You'll never walk alone."

From an English piece of homework in 2012.

Because Of Them, We Can



The Story:



The Mission :To Educate and Connect a New Generation to Heroes Who Have Paved the Way

On October 28, 2008, just days before the election of Barack Obama, the first African-American President of the United States, my first son Chase was born. On July 9, 2012, a few months before President Obama's historic re-election, my second son Amari was born. Six months later, a few days before February 2013, I began to reflect on my sons and their promising future – specifically the opportunities they could pursue as a result of the progress and achievements made by individuals past and present. I also thought about the responsibility and at times the fear, I carry as a mother raising Black boys. I thought about how just one-year prior, Trayvon Martin was murdered. The murder and circumstances surrounding Trayvon's death awakened my consciousness and moved me to create the "I Am Trayvon Martin" photo campaign. It was through this painful time for the Martin family and America that I came to realize that my lens could truly serve as a microphone that could amplify the feelings, fears, dreams and even the pain of a community.


The Because of Them, We Can campaign was birthed out of my desire to share our rich history and promising future through images that would refute stereotypes and build the esteem of our children. While I originally intended to publish the campaign photos, via social media, during Black History Month, I quickly realized how necessary it was to go further. With so many achievers to highlight, and thousands of children to engage and inspire, 28 days wasn't enough. On the last day of February, with just 28 photographs in my collection, I decided to resign from my job in order to continue the campaign. On March 1, 2013, after most national and local conversations about Black History and Achievement ended, I released a photo of a mini-inspired Phyllis Wheatley and began the journey to continue the project for a full year.


A year later I have come to the conclusion that even 365 days aren't enough. What began as a mother's passion project quickly evolved into a movement. Today we are committed as ever before to encourage and empower people of all ages and hues to dream out loud and reimagine themselves as greater than they are, simply by connecting the dots between the past, the present and the future.


As a BLACK girl, I felt that it was right for me to share this as most of us aren't proud of our colour and we should be. We are destined for greatness  Everyone of us, it doesn't matter what skin colour or gender; we are all destined for greatness!
