You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise – Maya Angelou Queen bee: @therealrhonkefella Happy Sunday loves!!! 💋💋💋

Hello loves! Happy Friday Eve! One thing I've learned from about 5 years in America's corporate force is that you MUST learn to show up and SPEAK UP!!! Here's a piece that describes this succinctly . One of the best things I did at the start of my career was to master the art of impromptu speaking. Through Toastmasters meetings, I practiced something called Table Topics every week for seven years. Table Topics is an exercise in which speakers are assigned a random topic by a moderator and then must speak immediately for 60 to 90 seconds. Not only do you improve by repeatedly being put on the spot with no advanced preparation, but you also learn from other participants' feedback.~ Sabina Nawaz . Are you a business owner? If put on the spot can you sell your business? Can you sell yourself? Are you the silent type in meetings? Can you speak with intelligence and confidence when with other professionals? The good thing is speaking up is a skill I learned with loads of practice and just like any other skill, with time, consistent practice will make you better! The bottom line is this, If you want to be successful, You MUST show up and SPEAK UP! It's in you!! ❤❤❤ . Feautured: This swirl Ankara Kimono duster is on 🔥🔥🔥 @styleyourselfie 😘 @kadjoe.design 😘

Saturday, December 9 was the red carpet world premiere of the eighth chapter of the “Star Wars saga: The Last Jedi”

Lupita Nyong’o turn heads as she wore a beautiful strapless dress that featured a thigh-high slit. Her emerald green dress dazzled in the light as it was finished with jewels and a wide wrap-around bow on the torso and she teamed her ensemble with simple open-toe gold heels.

MTV VMAs….. the ceremony which is known for it anything-goes-dress-code has been the perfect platform for elaborate fashion statements and fashion enthusiasts. Needless to say, this is where music’s most creative take fashion risks—of all kinds—on the red carpet. The show which took place in L.A this year saw some of the world’s famous faces seizing the moment to try  high octane new looks.
