What started months ago as a “What If?” is now a REALITY and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Tennis Champion, Coco Gauff to our Carol’s Daughter Family! It was so important for us to work with someone who stands for the same things as our brand ---resilience, determination, beauty, strength and community empowerment, and I think we found our PERFECT MATCH! 🎾🤎 And to have played a key role in the entire process, from pitching to production to launch, makes this even more meaningful. In the past year, I’ve had the honor of working on so many impactful partnerships including “The Little Mermaid” and “The Color Purple” and to now add this one, where true representation for Black Women and Girls is again at the core, I couldn’t be more proud. These are the things that give me purpose beyond products.

**Olympic Black Power Salute: A Stand for Human Rights** Hey, sports fans, let’s rewind to a moment that rocked the world stage. 🌎🏅 The 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City weren’t just about gold, silver, and bronze—they became a flashpoint for political protest and powerful statements. During the medal ceremony for the 200m race, Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos made history with a gesture that’s still talked about today. As the national anthem played, the two athletes—shoeless and heads bowed—raised gloved fists in a silent but powerful Black Power salute. Smith later said it was all about advocating for human rights and equality, but many saw it as a bold stand for the Black Power movement. ✊🏿✊🏽 The backlash was intense. When Smith and Carlos returned home, they were met with hostility and scorn. Yet, they stood firm in their belief that their protest was a moral obligation. They sacrificed their own reputations to shine a light on the struggles faced by marginalized communities. 🌟💪 The third man in the iconic photo, Australian Peter Norman, also became a symbol of support. By wearing an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge, he showed solidarity with Smith and Carlos, but this act of bravery led to him being ostracized in his own country for decades. This moment wasn’t just a historic protest—it was a reminder that sometimes, standing up for what’s right can come with a heavy price. But as Smith and Carlos showed, some things are worth fighting for. 🥇 #BlackPowerSalute #1968Olympics #TommieSmith #JohnCarlos #PeterNorman #HumanRights #OlympicProtest #PowerfulProtest #MexicoCity68 #SportsHistory #ActivismInSports

**Olympic Black Power Salute: A Stand for Human Rights** Yo, let’s rewind to the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, where the Games weren’t just about sports—they turned into a stage for one of the most powerful political statements in history. 🌍🔥 During the medal ceremony for the 200m race, American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos made waves with their iconic Black Power salute. Picture this: both athletes, barefoot and heads bowed, raising a gloved fist to symbolize a stand for human rights. Smith said it was all about universal human rights, but the gesture was also seen as a powerful statement of support for the Black Power movement. ✊🏿✊🏾 The backlash was intense. Smith and Carlos were sent home in disgrace and faced tons of hostility upon their return. But they stood firm, believing they had a moral duty to use their platform for change, even if it meant tarnishing their personal reputations. 👊🏽 And let’s not forget Peter Norman, the Aussie who joined the protest by wearing an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge. He was ostracized for his support, proving that taking a stand can come with a hefty price tag. 🌟🇦🇺 The salute remains one of the most enduring symbols of activism in sports history, showing that the Olympic stage can be more than just about medals—it can be a powerful platform for social change. 🥇✊🏽 #BlackPowerSalute #Mexico1968 #TommieSmith #JohnCarlos #PeterNorman #HumanRights #OlympicActivism #PowerfulMoment #SportsAndPolitics #OlympicHistory #StandForChange

If you are a Christian, if you subscribe to any faith in order to develop spirituality, you have to own your own faith. That means you need to dig into sacred text of your particular faith. This one focuses on Christianity - it’s a very eye-opening movie. If you were a Christian clergy, if you are a character lain of any kind (police, fire, EMS, Hospital, airport. IF you are an LGBTQI person if you were a person of faith any faith Catholic Protestant in order to really understand the Bible, you have to dig into how it came about how we develops the sacred text that we call the Canon. Why do Catholics have an in apocrypha (additional books that are not in the revised standard protestan Bible) . I’ve always said learning about other faith helps us better understand our own If you’re an LGBTQ person this is a movie you want to see just because you are LGBTQ person does not mean you cannot have a faith. G-d loves you. Learn about why we have the current Bible today and what the Bible truly said it’s all about the translation.

The dangerous thing here really is the fact that being labeled as trans, especially against your will (and against what's even happening), is being invited to discrimination and violence. The discussion of biological sex in sports is really calling for a discussion of sexism and bioessentialism in sports. This match escalated this way essentially in the premise that a 'real' woman can't hit that hard. Note - Khelif is by no means undefeated, she's just a world class boxer. This isn't rocket science to understand that until you isolate and observe variables independently, (not based in your eyes and socialization) you actually don't know what's going on or the effects. As more trans athletes are banned, it will be harder to do actual studies on results in a competition setting, which is the heart of the whole issue. Everyone's body functions slightly differently from the person next to them, but does it produce a consistent, even predictable, advantage? An article on the current thinking about testosterone limits for women with DSD, though I wonder what would happen if you just tested all women athletes instead of cherry picking when someone doesn't like how someone looks. Not advocating for that, but if you need a standard, then operate by a standard, not here say or speculation. https://lnkd.in/gGCFYPrH

Castor Semenya Serena Williams Dutee Chand Margaret Wambui Annet Negesa ….. and now Imane Khelif. Historically, the West has found many ways to deny the womanhood of Black women and other minorities, especially when contrasted with the tears of White women, and it’s f*cking exhausting. This is not about "protecting women in sports"; it's about protecting a very specific Western idea of what a woman is. Michael Phelps is often referred to as a "freak of nature" because of his disproportionate wingspan, double-jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, and a body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete. He is rightly celebrated as the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences specifically, female athletes of colour are legally discriminated against and harassed relentlessly. I also find it very strange that there is more outrage over a woman and her differences (that she has no control over) than outrage towards the literal r*pist Steven Van De Velde who is freely competing in the olympics. Shows where we are as a society. Sending all my support to Imane Khelif 🫂.

**A Silent Protest That Rocked the World** Yo, let's talk about two real G's: Tommie Smith and John Carlos. These Black dudes weren't just athletes; they were warriors for change. The year was 1968, and the world was on fire. The Civil Rights Movement was in full effect, and these brothers were ready to make a stand. They dominated the track, no doubt. Gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash. But it wasn't their speed that shook the world; it was what they did next. As the US national anthem played, they raised their black-gloved fists in a powerful silent protest. This wasn't just about winning medals; it was about fighting for Black people. They were shining a spotlight on racism, inequality, and injustice. It was a bold move, a risky one, but it was necessary. These brothers paid a price for their courage. They faced backlash, threats, and even lost sponsors. But their image, those raised fists, became a symbol of hope and resistance. Their story is a reminder that athletes can be more than just entertainers; they can be leaders and change-makers. So, the next time you think about the power of one person, remember Tommie Smith and John Carlos. They proved that even in the face of adversity, you can use your platform to make a difference. #TommieSmith #JohnCarlos #BlackPower #CivilRights #Olympics #Courage #Resistance #BlackHistory #Changemakers
