Me, every day

alignment comes from:

– the choices you make every day – choices that reflect your values – telling yourself the truth even when it’s uncomfortable – holding firm to what you will and won’t allow – trusting your first instinct – refusing to abandon your own needs – choosing peace over chaos – picking evolution instead of repeating what feels familiar – keeping promises you make to yourself – choosing long-term clarity over short-term comfort – protecting your mental and emotional energy – not performing for approval – walking away when something feels off, even if you can’t explain why – making decisions from your future self, not your fears – surrounding yourself with people who bring out your best – giving yourself permission to outgrow what no longer fits

how is it that i've spent 24 years on this earth without knowing who Woody Strode was?

little-miss-rasputin-pageant

for those who don't know Woody Strode was a Black American actor that was primarily active in the late 50s and 60s. his grandmother was Black Cherokee and his grandfather was Black Creek. he was a world-class decathlon and was culturally educated, majoring in history and culture, to the extent that in 1971 he said “I could walk into the White House with it now.” he served in the Air Force during World War II. he starred as the first Black lead in a mainstream cowboy movie in Sergeant Rutledge (1960). his first wife was Princess Luukialuana Kalaeloa, a distant relative of Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii, and they were married until her death. he was also an accomplished martial artist. oh, and Sheriff Woody from Toy Story was named after him.

Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

erinbowbooks

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. She:

was admitted to Julliard at 8.

was performing in top venues by 16.

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.” Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.
