This month I remind you to have a grateful heart all month, not just on the designated day. Instead of looking for new stuff to make us better, lets look at what we already have.
Be grateful. There are Tess, Tanks, Crews, Sweats and Hoodies. You can order at Grateful Heart
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.
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.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalms 103:2
I spend much of my time thinking about what I want and need. It is time to focus on what I have and be grateful. Making the invisible, a little more visible.
It was narrated in her own voice. Audrey Hepburn. It is on NetFlix. Worth the time.
I love to draw. It is a great way to tell a story or capture a moment.
I believe stories can be told in many ways and use a variety of methods to uplift, inform and educate about African Americans and people of color.
We should tell our own stories.

There are millions of stories in the city and Law and Order has covered them all. The long running series about crime and punishment has told countless stories in the US and UK. Ripping pages from the headlines and current events, this new Law and Order has put its spin on some of the most heinous and unusual crimes in the world.

So I came to this show late…but I do like to skip the hype. There was a lot of hype around this when it started. It was right.
It starts a little slow for me. But the energy gets there. The one thing I love about this limited series is that it gives me the chance to see Americans how others see us. This action adventure series is on Netflix and I enjoy how it is shot. It allows me to see my world different.
It has the ageless Sanaa Lathan and Greg Henry in it as they play cat and mouse with us. Binge it over a weekend.
General Moses is a drawing by Charles White of Harriet Tubman. She sits on these rocks like she is on a throne, giving counsel to many. The first time I saw this I remember thinking wow, what a powerful woman this was. This is an ink drawing created by Charles White in 1965.
Mother and Child Sorrow by Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller in 1962 and is a bronze cast sculpture. I love that a woman was creating art that spoke to the abuse African Americans received during that time in history. Cheers to women who tell our stories by any means.
My work covers five areas. History. Faith. Cultural Diversity. Impact. Justice and Fairness.
Art is Life
Sometimes we have to remind ourselves what is important. It is easy to get caught up in the everydayness of life. Remind yourself that when God created you, He wants to chat.
