An important reminder from our Revelations panellist, Yasmine Jameelah, on taking up space as a Black Youth. She wants Black Youth to know that there's beauty in exploring what you're curious about and discovering what makes you unique and that taking up space as a Black Person can look however you want it to.  . . . . #mentalhealthmatters #blackmentalhealth #blackmentalhealthtips #blackhistorymonth #blackpride #blackmentalhealthmatters #blacklivesmatter #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthresources #aakomaproject

Starting #BlackHistoryMonth with a profound quote from our founder, Debra Fraser-Howze, "We're not going back to normal. We died in normal."

At Choose Healthy Life, we're committed to paving the way for a new, equitable 'normal'. Learn more and join our cause by visiting https://lnkd.in/gYrSSmsS

Today is the start of Black History Month, and throughout this month we will be highlighting members of the adoption constellation who are whose work sits at the intersection of adoption and race - because every month should be Black History Month in an adoption landscape that includes Black infants and children adopted into non-Black families.

Drop a note in the comments if you have a resource to share and we can add it to our list. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth365

#Integration was Most Definitely Detrimental For #US #AfricanX People!!! What sense did it make to fight the #CivilRights struggle to give Your money to racist people who hate Us???!!! The Following Is My Opinion, Of Course!!! We Are Now Three Generations Deep, With a large majority of #BlackPeople: - Striving For the #White version of the #AmericanDream: - #Consuming #DesignerBrands, from #Euro companies - Seeking to #Assimilate into #Homogeneous #Eurocentric Culture, rather than a modern #Afrocentric #Culture - Not Being Concerned With Building Strong #AfricanX communities - Black Youths who think they have created their own culture, when all they've done is enable corporate #Amerikkka to pervert the culture created by their #Boomer Grandparents + #GenX Parents! - A large percentage of #LateGenX, #Millennial + #GenZ #BlackWomen who seek a #standardofbeauty, with the objective of looking as #white or #Asian as #MoneyCanBuy; rather than as #Fit #Healthy + #Naturally #Beautiful as possible #NuffSaid!!!
