I just came across a post that was amazingly nostalgic and inspiring to me, because it signified so much strength, love, support, and togetherness that I think we sometimes forget and overlook. Given the current state of our nation as a whole...I can't stand for everything that America currently represents but I can stand by individuals who work relentlessly to be great in all they do, especially black innovators that have paved the way! I'm taking a moment to say thank you to everyone who has fought against adversity, disparity, and injustice, you could've let negativity stop you but instead you defied the odds and walked into your purpose! 🙌🏽Repost from my girl @gabrielle_dennis🙌🏽 Thought this #fbf fitting for the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth Our photo, “A Great Day in Hollywood” was inspired by “A Great Day in Harlem” and both are beautiful pieces of art.... .
