There’s something about being home that makes it impossible to not to be nostalgic.
Your Average Hair Woes
Okay so I recently took out my braids and Im trying this, no heat applied to my head thing. And although it’s not that bad, it is VERY time consuming. I see why so many females get a weave, its easy and it looks good. Every time I take out these twists I’m half way having a panic attack because I don’t know what to expect since this is new to me. And when I’m around White people, FORGET IT. Idk, its not fair these black girl problems. There has to be more options than perm, weave or braids. Hair should not be this difficult, but I’m trying to embrace the struggle. TRYING.

Shepard Fairey Piece of the Day: Ebony magazine commissioned street artist Shepard Fairey (of Obeyand HOPE fame) to create artwork of the late Trayvon Martin to accompany a piece in this month’s issue. Fairey writes:
I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.

I DONT WANNA LEAVE
Its my last night in Philly and I don’t wanna leave. But I don’t really wanna stay either. I just don’t wanna go home. Well, I don’t want to STAY home, for the whole summer you know ? Theres nothing at home, besides my beautiful momma. We’ll see what summer 2012 holds. It has to be better than last year. Anything would be.
