That’s why I am the Quiet one.

SPIRITUALITY COMES FROM WITHIN~❤️🖤💚

Devote your whole life to quality work, simplicity, and beauty. There is nothing a person who is serious about life does reluctantly.

Everything important is done With a passion. The point is not how long one lives but how well. SEEK PERFECTION!
Practice calmness, measure ferocity, self-control, perseverance, and in everything, JUSTICE. Walk in a discipline, direct, and purposeful manner.

Demonstrate humility, as it is a virtue greater than deferring death; it triumphs over vanity and conceit--conquer these vices in yourself first.

Remember that the plant reveals what is in the seed. The seed includes all possibilities of the tree but will develop these possibilities only if it receives corresponding energies from the sky and soil, for with light, there is life and living. With land, there is nutrition and growth.

The seed cannot sprout upwards without simultaneously sending roots into the ground.

Listen to your conviction and follow your heart. All is WITHIN YOU. Know your most INNER SELF and look for what corresponds with it in nature. The INNER-LIGHT grows in silence, concentration, passion, and will. -Dr. Tdka Kilimanjaro

Meet Zelda Barbour Wynn Valdes. (1901-2001) This trailblazing fashion designer/entrepreneur highlighted the coveted hour-glass figure in the 1940-1950s.

In 1948 she was the first Black Designer to open up her own shop on Broadway, she created beautiful gowns and dresses for many stars Josephine Baker, Mae West, Ella Fitzgerald, Dorothy Dandridge, Eartha Kitt, and Marian Anderson to name a few. Valdes’s designs created a new sexier image for singer Joyce Bryant who was a huge star in the Black community in the early 1950s and whom Life Magazine later described as the “the Black Marilyn Monroe.” In 1958 Pl***oy Magazine founder Hugh Hefner hired Valdes to design the first Pl***oy Bunny costumes. Hefner commissioned Valdes to do this work.

Later in her life, she created costumes for the Dance Theater of Harlem. She was also a founding member of the National Association and Accessory Designers in 1949, this organization was an example of how Black Talent was creative and effective in finding ways to work around racial inequality in the fashion industry!

Cudjo Lewis (1841-1935) was a founder of Africa Town (now Africatown), established by a group of people who were brought to Mobile, Alabama aboard the Clotilda, the last slave ship to the United States. Toward the end of his life, Lewis became famous when his story was published in a book and newspapers.

Together with 115 other African captives, he was brought to the United States on board the ship Clotilda in 1860.

The Clotilda brought its captives to Alabama in 1860, just a year before the outbreak of the Civil War. Even though slavery was legal at that time in the U.S., the international slave trade was not, and hadn’t been for over 50 years. Along with many European nations, the U.S. had outlawed the practice in 1807, but Lewis’ journey is an example of how slave traders went around the law to continue bringing over human cargo.

As for the Civil War, Lewis said he wasn’t aware of it when it first started. But part-way through, he began to hear that the North had started a war to free enslaved people like him. A few days after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered in April 1865, Lewis says that a group of Union soldiers stopped by a boat on which he and other enslaved people were working and told them they were free.
