black resilience is not just history— it’s a living, breathing unshakable truth. we walk without fear because those before us refused to kneel. their strength did not fade with time; it moves through us, speaks through us, builds through us.

these colorized images of our mostly late & great leaders are a reminder that our leaders did not stand in a distant past—they walked streets we still walk, fought battles we are still fighting.

to see them only in black and white is to accept the illusion that their struggle is long behind us. It is not. We are still here, still rising, still pushing forward. Like them, we are afraid of nothing. 🖤✨

The red symbolizes the bloodshed in the fight for freedom, black stands for the strength and resilience of the African people, and green signifies the fertile land and future of Africa.

Without Black History, the world simply wouldn’t be the same. Let’s honor the trailblazers who’ve shaped our lives today and everyday! 💫

this time last year, i was facing homelessness, and the road to here hasn’t been easy. but today, i’m proud to say i’ve joined a traveling play troupe with american immersion theater, with my first show next week, and i’m heading back to school to finally pursue teaching.

i’ve named this series "moonlit mind"—it’s a reflection of the journey to heal from deep mental and emotional wounds. it signifies how no matter how far you fall, the only way is up. at the summit of the climb, enlightenment waits for you. 🪷

life can try to beat the hope out of you, but always remember; no matter how lonely you feel, the love of the universe and God envelops you 🤎🕯️
