"In a gentle way, you can shake the world."-Mahatma Gandhi We're crushing this Wednesday on the beautiful actress/creative @maameyaaboafo , whom we've interviewed twice on ChicRebellion.TV. Continue to shake the world. #chicrebellion #wcw #LetBlackGirlsBe #blackgirlmagic

"...I realized that when I am in self, I disconnect from my purpose. My story is not my own, it is a way to heal and love others. Again, I am reminded they when in doubt, focus outward. ....I'm still learning, still fucking up, still trying to find my rhythm."--@BreScullark Sending love to our favorite yogi and all around chic rebel, Bre Scullark. Continue to share your story and inspire! #chicrebellion #letblackgirlsbe @bre4yoga [CELEBRATING all that is glorious, fly and resilient about BLACK GIRLS, our images, our strength, our vulnerability and WHO WE BE.]

"Investing in yourself as an artist is incredibly empowering. If I hadn’t invested in myself, my only choice would have been to keep knocking on doors asking other people for permission to create."--Nefertite Nguvu, Writer-Director of the film "In the Morning."

Hey, lovelies, if you're like us, your spirit is unsettled, your heart aches, and you are ENRAGED and disgusted by the violent assault at Spring Valley High School of a young, Black girl--a student--by a police officer at the school. The bodies and images of Black girls are constantly assaulted and disregarded-- physically, in media, in entertainment, in politics, in our own communities... It has to end. This shit is URGENT! We're busy working on something beyond ChicRebellion.TV to counter all of that in our own way. IN THE MEANTIME, as we both rally and heal, we're going to use this space on Instagram to CELEBRATE all that is glorious, fly and resilient about BLACK GIRLS, our images, our strength, our vulnerability and WHO WE BE. To set it off, showing love for all that's Juicy about these two shining stars: @paulatrenfroe and @taiiasmartyoung , who are up to something sexy for BET. Powerful and lipstick poppin. We see you. Shine on, chic rebels. Shine on. 💋 #ChicRebellion #LetBlackGirlsBe #BlackGirlsMatter #BlackLivesMatter #Juicymagazine #Bethestarofyourshow #AssaultatSpringValleyHigh

"I immediately grabbed my phone and texted my friends. I told them, I wanted to be a super hero, but I didn’t want to be alone and I needed their help... Cacsmy, Kristia, Nichole, and I showed up at Hudson Yards subway station that night feeling more powerful than ever. Clad in black with layers of leggings, body suits, fringe gloves, and harnesses, we were ready to take the night!... We fight for those who are told their tears don’t matter. Where the police hurts more than serves, and eating establishments are built just to shorten the lives of the community. We fight for the strong who have been stripped of their powers. We fight for the invisible." [FROM CHICREBELLION: We love these super sheros! For their stunning costumes, for saying "hell yes" to their friend's concept and for their beautiful mission. We salute you! Shine on, chic rebels! 💋] #ChicRebellion #BlackGirlsMatter #LetBlackGirlsBe #BlackLivesMatter #halloween
