Life over Trend - Justice for Trayvon!

Dear members of the Black community,

With the utmost respect for the principles of #Individualism, it is imperative that we impart a valuable lesson to our children – the importance of dressing not only for success but for life, and for their seamless integration into society. When we embrace this principle, we take a significant stride toward securing a brighter future. Our primary objective is to safeguard lives, transcending fleeting trends, and diminishing the risks associated with encounters with racially biased law enforcement. In this endeavour, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to the profound message that lies at the heart of our cause.

We advocate for a profound shift, a complete transformation in the way we prepare our sons for the world. Let us clothe them in suits and instill in them the readiness for a future where change is not just a possibility but an inevitability. This transformation represents our dedication to a more promising tomorrow, one marked by progress, justice, and equality.

In the spirit of moving #Onward and #Forward, let us pay tribute to the memory of Trayvon Martin, a poignant symbol of the pressing need for justice. By making the conscious choice to dress our sons for success and preparedness, we are taking the first critical step towards securing justice for Trayvon and for all those whose lives have been unjustly affected.

In conclusion, let us collectively choose "Life over Trend" and rally for "Justice for Trayvon." This is a call to action, a reminder that we have the power to shape our own destiny and, in doing so, contribute to a world that respects and values every life.

Sincerely,

A Dedicated Black Mother

Then you must be your race, creed, nationality, or background? Right?... So, if none of those define you, tell me... do you really, truly and honestly know who you are? How might you begin to find out? As individuals we have so many intricacies and facets to our lives that if we have not consciously taken the time to find out who we are, we could be living a lie or someone else idea of who we are. I know, I know...I can hear the protest loud and clear: "I know who I am." But really, do you? I have news for you. What you do and where you came from are NOT you! That's right, it is an extension of who you are, but it certainly isn't you in its entirety. You were who you are, long before you learned how to walk, talk, read, or write. Long before your passed or cu...
