Hi everyone,
During a conversation with my BFF the other day, we discussed and really elaborated on the "shoulders that we stand on." If we are completely honest with ourselves, we wouldn't have so many opportunities had it not been for those individuals that took MAJOR risks to break barriers that were once placed on our people. I appreciate not only the famous singers, actors, activists, etc, but I thank my family who have sacrificed so much for me to fulfill my dream! These Pioneers:Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Josephine Baker, Lina Horne, Chaka Khan, and Billy Holiday inspire me for their courage, for their keen style, and for their awesome integrity. Their beauty shines from such a deep place that I immediately become inspired when I think of them. Let's celebrate someone that has made a sacrifice for us not only during black history month, but everyday!
"My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities. "
-Diana Ross
XOXO,
Kris
