TRUE SIGNS OF A LADY

By Vernalee

To the ladies in my reading audience , do know that we women are queens! To my male followers, every Queen needs a King!

We women should stand tall as we maintain high standards keeping our heads lifted high toward the sky … and of course strut in our high heel shoes. We deserve only the best! We should wear respect, class, dignity, and integrity. God fearing, we should exemplify the characteristics of the virtuous woman described in the Book of Proverbs, Chapter 31. Our value is far greater than rubies; we are priceless! As women, our internal beauty should be as radiant as our glow that is shone externally. Let's work to be the very best as we respectfully and elegantly stand out from the crowd! Photo Credit: www.tumblr.com

BLACK PANTHER

Released in 2018, The Black Panther Movie showcased Chadwick Boseman as King T'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda.

This was a Marvel Movie brought to life. This movie brought pride to many Black people because we imaginatively were transported to Wakanda. We felt pride in that imaginary Kingdom because it belonged to us. It was fiction that felt ever so real to us! It was for many Black children the first time that they had seen a super hero who looked like them. How incredibly remarkable!

Sadly, we lost Chad to cancer, but he will forever reign as our Black Superhero, our Black Panther! With a gesture of our arms folded over our chests, we say, as they did in the movie, “Wakanda Forever!” We can’t wait to see the soon to be released sequel!

THE BEAUTIFUL SIGHT OF A FATHER TAKING CARE OF HIS DAUGHTER

By Vernalee

”Hair Love” is a 2019 American animated short film that follows the story of a man who must do his daughter's hair for the first time. Written and directed by a Black cast, This film won an Oscar for best animated short film. Recently, I watched my son brushing his daughter’s hair and the sight brought back decade old memories of my late husband doing our daughter's hair. He completed the task, but oh my … what a sight! Let's just say that her braids were not neatly lined up! So for so many memorable reasons, this movie is a delight to watch!
