1BlessedNatural: What I Wore to See the Black Panther Movie!  Hey, my blessed naturals, Yesterday, I went to see the Black Panther , and I wanted to show you the outfit I chose. My BFF and I were twinning with blue dashikis and jeans. I wore my hair in a twist-out with a bobby pinned bang. Thank God the snow melted because I was a little worried we were going to miss the movie! Black Panther was awesome! I feel like we've been waiting for this movie all my life and didn't know it. Go see it if you haven't already! Story Time The place where I get my dashikis always has them in the back of the store. I was trying to suggest to the owner that she move them to the front because people want to buy them for the Black Panther opening weekend, but before I could finish talking, she cut me off. She told me she was waiting for the weather to break, so I told her, "Yes, that's true. I didn't think about that," and kept it moving! LOL Wo...

"Because of Them We Can" Creator Says T-Shirts Ripped Off by Target  Creator, innovator, and founder of "Because of Them We Can" Eunique Jones Gibson is outraged because she said Target ripped off her t-shirt by creating their own version. For those of you who are not aware, Jones started the multimedia "Because of Them We Can" campaign in 2013. Backpacks, t-shirts, and other items could be seen with the names of Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, more! Jones produces videos and other forms of media that promote positive images of Black people, especially kids.
