Black is beautiful,
Black don’t crack,
Love your skin, it’s your glow.
You are perfect.
About five years ago, I wrote an end of thesis that was focused on “Reading Images and the representatoion of black people in text books and Encylopedias ” It focused on beauty and the way people do everything possible to enhance themselves to look fairer and whiter, unfortunately, it is still the case as of today with more sophisticated products.
Inspiration of the Day
Meet 30-year-old REXY ROLLE, the woman running one of the most successful Black-Owned Airlines In The World. She is born Sherrexcia ROLLE and hails from Bahamas. She currently works as the Vice President of Operations and General Counsel at Western Air based out of the San Andros Airport in the Bahamas.
She deals with the daily operations of the company and also anticipating new destinations and plans on expanding the fleets and currently, the fleet is valued at over $90 million.
The company is owned by her father Rex Rolle, who is President and CEO of the company. Leading a company as such is not what we see black women do daily, Rexy Rolle is an inspration because young girls can do look up to her and believe in themselves. In her interview with essence she said
” I hope the lesson that they take from me is that you have to take advantage of any and all opportunities that may be presented to you. When I was younger I didn’t fully understand everything that my parents were sacrificing to do in terms of what their bigger vision was. I had to make a decision as to whether I was going to embrace their dreams, and build upon it or just feel comfortable and live my life, and not be aggressive in doing anything else. It’s important to know that whether you have limited opportunities or an abundance of opportunities, there’s always going to be an abundance of open doors, and it’s up to you whether you slam it shut, or burst it wide open.”
The Choice is always ours to make when the time is right, things may not always go as planned but never stop aiming, never stop dreaming.
A great servant but a bad master, a sword having the double edge with might and mind of its own mostly escalating beyond what the handler proposes. It is a virtual world where anybody can put on a façade towards an end and convince some people with the mirage of believing others’ life is perfect. Social media is an interactive, interesting, exciting computer oriented new technology that has widely changed our means of creating and sharing of information and ideas.
It is a community where you can grasp the attention of the world or lose it within minutes, gain friends and recognition across the globe, etc. depending on your contents. Social media is an amazing platform to educate oneself in a variety of ways beyond what can be taught in class. Everyone strives to make an impact on others even though, the motive differs ranging from some trying to gain popularity and others scheming to maintain a positive social media reputation. For some, it is the only means of ruminating for the benefit of others and the acceptance of others.
