Heidi and Tim are at it again. They have left the runway and found a new home for their fashion ideas. With the pandemic they created a bubble, got designers together and let the magic happen again. The fun thing about this show is that you were able to buy the winning item each week on Amazon.
That is so cool to be able to buy it!
The show is on Prime. (of course)

I am most grateful for those amazing writers and artists that have share their words with the world over the past couple of centuries. Even though they have not been lauded, people of color have been telling their truths for as long as we have been in the world. These truths are powerful, encouraging, and enlightening.
Alexander Dumas, Phillis Wheatley, Simon of Cyrene, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Priscilla Shirer, Nat Turner, James Baldwin, Cora Jakes Coleman, Maya Angelou, Lorraine Hansberry, Ntzoke Shange, August Wilson, Nelson Mandela, J California Cooper, Lecrae.

Those people are not grateful. They greedy. Be grateful.
The colors of autumn send a signal to us that things are changing. They are beautiful and fleeting.

Elizabeth Catlett’s artwork and life painted a noble and human way of life for African American and Mexican working-class women. Her work tells accurate stories of their lives.
She was born in the United States in Washington, DC, in 1915. Raised by her mother because her father died shortly after she was born, Catlett spent summers with her grandparents in North Carolina.
She graduated from Howard University with a degree in Art and the University of Iowa with a Masters in Fine Arts degree. In 1940, she got a job as the department chair of Art at Dillard in New Orleans.
The first female professor of sculpture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, School of Fine Arts San Carlos, in Mexico City, Catlett taught there until she retired in 1975.
Her work is collected in America, Mexico and the Czech Republic.
In addition to supporting marginalized communities in protests marches, Catlett was also commissioned to create monuments for the Ralph Ellison, Louis Armstrong and at Howard University. Social justice was a matter that filled her work with images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Black Power and other African American figures.
