Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that “[his] four little children [would] one day live in a nation where they [would] not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
While we’ve made significant progress towards making his dream a reality, nearly six decades after he delivered that speech, we’re still not fully there yet.
What a shame.
This past year was eye-opening for me, to say the least. Social injustice is still very present in our country, and I have spent a lot of time delving into it, learning what it means to have white privilege, and discussing very difficult topics with our kids to ensure that they're aware of it, too.
I started to pay much more attention to black-owned businesses this past year, and on this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I wanted to share a handful of my very favorite ladies of color on Instagram.
Tabitha Brown @iamtabithabrown (Recipes& Motivation)
Danielle Coke @ohhappydani (Art & Words)
Kay @onceupona1912 (Home Design & DIY)
Luna @swaggaismything (Fashion)
All of these ladies inspire me daily, and I hope you’ll find them as inspiring as I do.
Happy Monday, y’all. <3
It is a shame for sure. Thanks for sharing the IG ladies! If you are looking for more, you should check out Color Me Courtney (https://www.instagram.com/colormecourtney/). :)
