Keep The Faith

Leave a comment

We celebrated a very unusual Easter this past weekend. I pray you enjoyed it and appreciated the time spent with family and friends physically and/or virtually . In the midst of our new normal I keep my faith and hope you do as well.

Me wearing my headwrap and face covering for safety. Stay safe friends!

Unisex Keep The Faith Face Covering Available Now

Sending my love and prayers to New York, St. Lucia, the whole world. Be good to one another, this abnormality has shown us a new world in every aspect. Let’s not forget to bring that enlightenment forward as life gets better and we move toward an even newer normal.

🙏🏾 Thank you Jesus,

Celebrate Black History Everyday

Leave a comment

It’s Fashion Friday’s ladies & gents! It’s also New York Fashion Week. Are you attending shows, parties? Have a great time if you get into the mix! It’s also Black History Month. Lots going on, right.

In honor of our history let’s celebrate Charlotte E. Ray today, first African American female attorney in the United States. Ray graduated from Howard University School of Law in 1872. She was also the first female admitted to the District of Columbia Bar, and the first woman admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. We walk in her footsteps. Thankful you paved a way for us Black Women Attorneys 🙏🏾.

We created this look last year. If you haven’t grabbed it yet, we still have it stocked. Celebrate our history everyday.

Cheers,

Danalee Francesca 💋

What page are you on? I am listening to it on Audible, have about an hour to go and it has been oh so good. I love to read and it is even better when you feel like you are part of the story. With every word I feel like I know Southside, her pain of failing the bar exam, and her first meeting with Barack.

I spent many a summer in Chicago with family, so it was interesting to hear her story of growing up there. I have my own fond memories of the cold winters and the very hot summers spent with my Aunts, Uncle & cousins in Oak Park. Adding her political and socioeconomic context to the story such as explaining “white flight” which my parents often tell me about experiencing right here in Brooklyn was almost listening to a family member tell there story. So much seems so familiar listening to her Becoming as I go through my own journey of Becoming!

Get into it! It will take you on a journey.

Cheers to evolving,
