Senior Art Show





My two favorite people

Now Thursday Night was sweet! I went to the senior artshow competition at Leymone Art Gallery. Some of my sweeties from S.A.I.L. high school had entries and my other sweetie Ms. Sydney had a photo entry also. It's amazing to see the work that these teenagers produce. I was not thinking like this when I was 17-18 years old. I was able to see my old high school art teachers and talk with them about the work I was doing and what their kids are learning. It was a fabulous night!

Natural Hair Tragedy



Tragedy has struck in the natural hair journey...I have to shake my head. After the removal of the yarn braids i have accumulated massive amounts of breakage. I have two spots ( very noticeable too) in the back of my head. I would post a picture but it will just upset me... sigh I will keep you updated on this detour.

Sunday Sunday Sunday!!!!

Yep this is my afro after my yarn braids
Civic center

So I know I have been slacking on my posting. I only had 3 post for the month of Feburary...yikes! I have had two people call me and come up to me to ask me when am I going to update my blog...hahahahah. I am glad somebody's reading it. Well Let's start from the sunday before last. So I was in church from like 8am until 2pm ( not the same service :)) I went to my services and sunday school and then headed over to my cousin's church for their youth day program. My cousin was he speaker...yea....I was so proud of him and would not have missed the opportunity to hear him speak for the first time. So after Church I headed to the FSU womens basketball game. It was the last home game of the season and my dad scored me some tickets... awesome game, they beat clemson. Yes I had a busy sunday.

Lyceum Series




Ok Ok Ok so I have been slacking on my post. To be honest there really hasn't been anything i felt like making a post about, I guess that's kinda bad huh! I do have something today. Well here at good ole FAMU we have this Series of Art Education and perfomance shows we do through out the school year, It's called the Lyceum Series. We have had Maya Angelou, Nat Adderly Jr, Kathleen Battle, The black violin and Savion Glover for this 2010-2011 school year. Sigh, unfortuantly I wasn't able to see anything from the series this year. Last year I went to see Wynton Marsalis. It was Awesome! I did get to meet Savion Glover, Yea! He had a meet and greet the day of his performance. That alone was good enough for me. I could just hear him speak. He was super nice and took pictures with everyone there and sign autographs with a smile and thank yous. I am glad had a chance to meet him even if it was briefly.
