BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPOTLIGHT DAY #4

 Hello Fashionista,


Today I want to talk about someone else who inspired me to be fearless and stand up for what I believe in. When your a kid your parent's always tell you "You can be anything you want in life" and for some that may be instant truth, but there are kids that believe they wont become who they dream about when they grow up. But there are inspirational people out there that make their dreams come true despite the odds and are role models for the weary hearted dreamers who just need a little inspiration to get them to start. 

                                                       EMPOWERMENT SPOTLIGHT

 Michelle Obama 

Our former first lady was one of the most inspirational to ever grace the White House and she was a true fashion icon, and supported American designers. Obama running for the presidential election in 2008 was historical because we finally had our very first African American president. 

As, first lady, Michelle served as a role model for women and worked as an advocate for poverty awareness, educations, nutrition, physical activity and healthy eating. Mrs. Obama has also graced the cover of a lot of top magazines, and even interviewed Amanda Gorman for TIME magazine. 

What was the most inspirational about Michelle was that she didn't just sit around the white house and let her Husband tackle all the big issues alone, she took a leap of faith by joining in on the causes that she related to the most. I love that she was so down to earth, fun and open minded, she really made being the first lady look like it was one of the most enjoyable job in the world. It was also I relief to finally have African Americans representing our culture in the most powerful position in politics and was like a dream come true, because so many said that it was impossible for Obama to win due to his ethnicity that became center of may smear campaigns created by his republican opponents against him. 


She wrote books, but this one was my favorite and I've read some of it from a friends book, but this is definitely the next book that I'm going to purchase for my collection. I'm eager to dig deeper into this book and find out more about Michelle and the way she thinks, because she's so intelligent and has positive views on many important topics.

 

These are my favorite magazine covers of Michelle and her style in these photos are freaking amazing. 

 

She's loves being active and keeping herself in shape. Dancing was just one of her many hidden talents that she was comfortable showing the world regardless of being our first lady. I remember her favorite song was a Little John song called turn down for what and she did a little video to it LOL she is truly remarkable.

 

Again my daughters have an amazingly inspirational woman to look up to in the world and I will be sure to teach my 6 year old Daughter who she was and all her amazing accomplishments both as our first lady and while she was just Michelle from Philly. 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Obama also attended Joe Biden's inauguration Jan 20, 2021 and of course she served us with the fashion. I love the color choice and the belt the most, omg I expected nothing less from her and she still looks amazing. Michelle also campaigned for the Biden campaign during the 2020 election and I wasn't shocked at all that she would stand up and speak out, because she was familiar with his work and all of his views  in politics. 

Thank you for reading this and I hope you've enjoyed my black history month series as much as I have, because we are in this for the long haul all February long and I've got some interesting stories coming for all of my next spotlight recipients. Keep God first and stay blessed ladies.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH SPOTLIGHT DAY 7

 Hello Fashionistas, I don't like that work got in my way of me finishing my daily black history month spotlight series posts so I have extended it until March 5th to give me time to catch up with everything that I had planned out. As I was researching black owned businesses in my area I came up with yet another idea to highlight some black owned brands by women I've had the pleasure of meeting some in person and others virtually, but they are equally as impactful and empowering. So with that said, let's get into today's empowering black owned business owners who I believe deserve to be spotlighted and I was given the opportunity to ask them their insight on being an entrepreneur and business woman.  BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE SPOTLIGHT LESLIE MONIQ   shoplesliemoniq.com  Be sure to follow Leslie on IG @lesliemoniq and her business @shoplesliemoniq Founded by Leslie Henry this is a luxurious lip cosmetic line and in my interview with her I got to know more about h...

DATE NIGHT OOTD: KATE SPADE EDITION

 Hello Fashionistas, I know it's been awhile since I've last posted but I promise this long wait will definitely be worth it, I'm so overly excited to share this with you but I'm always for things being set in stone before publicizing things. Now I will say that I will be launching a promotional campaign within the next week or so, but that’s all the information I’m willing to share without giving it away. MY OOTD    Crop top and jeans: Sugar Rackz Louis Vuitton sweater: Street vendor  Heels: Swapmeet 3 layered necklace: Ross   Handbag: Kate Spade  April 8th was my Husband’s birthdasy and since I had to work that day we decided to go out on a date night last night and we got my parents to baby sit the kids so we could finally get to spend time alone since it’s rare we get to do that. We drove to Anaheim to eat some Sonic’s and sat in the car to eat our food and went to best buy for some electronic accessories. We also drove around for awhile just to take in...

VALENTINES DAY OOTD

Image
 Hello Fashion dolls, I'm not really a huge fan of Valentine's day as a "Holiday" it could be because before I reunited with my Husband the guys I dated before him didn't buy me gifts or flowers and rarely even spent the day with me. It's so cliché to only dedicate one day to spreading love to your loved ones and friends, because we should be expressing our love routinely. My Husband and I don't usually give gifts for Valentine's day so this year we decided to just have a small family BBQ, drink and watch movies with out family all day long. OOTD DETAILS     Two piece set: Sugar Rackz/ One piece: Boomy apparel /Sneakers: Vans in brown suede  I bought this outfit for my Valentine's date last year with my Husband and then Covid-19 ruined that date night and I never got to wear it, so I waited to pull it out when ever the pandemic ended. Although things haven't necessarily gone back to normal in the world yet, but I was excited to get the chance t...
