ARTIST FEATURE x TwoMacks

  With today presenting it's fair share of ups and downs, I thank God for life. Eventful day from the continued search/protests for the missing (about 234 in number) girls in my country, Nigeria, I would just describe this as inhumane. SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THESE GIRLS BACK HOME HERE !!
Through and through, I was able to find inspiration to post, and I found it in WHITNEY .C. MITCHELL ( TwoMacks). I cannot remember how I found her, but I went through her Instagram for about 30 minutes and I did my research, and I want to share. The kind of artist I love, with amazing photographs, realer than life and close to home, I was blown away by the simplicity, with a tinge of complexity of these pictures and more........

q & a

What happens: 
- to butterflies when he’s touched all the wings?
- if dared to befriend a man once loved?
- if opportunity knocks on hollowed doors?
- if the red bull is flat?
- if everything said was someone’s stolen truth?
Answer.
- you learn to toss the caterpillars that fear the brew of your cocoon.
- chose truth, set ink on idle hands and drink as much ice cream as possible.
- keep writing, God’s favor ushers in patience and choice.
- borrow used wings.
- remind yourself what boundaries protect, look in the mirror and kiss beauty a time for each moment of neglect.

when answers aren’t enough, dreaming is the remedy.

PETITION = BLACK HISTORY HEROES BY ISIS OHUI.

 

I got this mail from +Isis T  concerning signing a petition concerning "Black history" and including a black history course in the United States. I signed the petition, and I believe in it, because it concerns me too. I want everyone to sign this petition too, IF you believe in Equality ! 
READ HER STATEMENT BELOW.. AND SIGN TOO...

Arne Duncan: Include a Black History course in high schools around the United States! By Isis Ohui Houston, TX Every year, America "recognizes" African-Americans during the month of February and calls it "Black History Month". Typically, we learn about Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcom X, Thurgood Marshall, Jackie Robinson etc. But what about the other Black heroes who made America what it is today? I am currently a junior in high school taking AP U.S. History. During the month of February, only three Blacks were mentioned in my classroom: Madam C.J. Walker, George Washington Carver, and Garrett Morgan. Everyday for only 28 days, a "Black history fact" was said on the morning announcements. That's just the bare minimum we can do to increase people's knowledge on Blacks.  If you open a high school AP U.S. History textbook today, you will only see references to Martin Luther King, George Washington Carver, Madam C.J. Walker, Rosa Parks, and a only a few other great Black influences. That's it. Blacks have done much more than create peanut butter, hair products, and boycott the public bus system. There is more than enough history in the world about Blacks to create a year-long curriculum. -- Over the years, I have always heard the saying "People hate what they don't understand". I strongly believe that having Black History classes in high schools will trim down the racism in our nation because every other race will understand how Blacks have contributed to the success of America. Having Black History classes will surely increase the respect level that other races have for African-Americans. Every student of every race has to learn about U.S. History which in majority only covers the contributions of the white man and how they shaped America up to be great. The Black man did and has done a lot to make America great, too. May we get recognized as well? Sign my petition to make this dream come true! Sign my petition
