Black Lives Matter
BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.

George Floyd
George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, on May 25, 2020. Derek Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd’s neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds which caused a lack of oxygen.[4] After his murder, protests against police brutality, especially towards black people, quickly spread across the United States and globally. His dying words, “I can’t breathe,” became a rallying slogan.
Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Floyd grew up in Houston, Texas, playing American football and basketball throughout high school and college.

Affirmation
Hopeful is a feeling or inspiring optimism about the future. I am hopeful because I believe in what God says about the future. After all, this is what Christmas is all about.
Portrait Time
This is one of my favorite portraits because it captures the fun of freezing a moment in time. Both individuals have grown up, but this reminds us of the whimsy of youth.

So much to be thankful for. What is your favorite food?
Thankful
This year I had the opportunity to attend the Essence Festival in New Orleans and it was more than I had imagined. Surrounded by people who look like me, it was amazing to experience being appreciated by companies that make products that I purchase. This image represents Target. they touted the African American owned companies that have products in their stores.
I am thankful for events that respect the hard earned dollars I spend.
