Why did Raven Symone post this

Meet 63-year-old Lyn Slater, who has, until recently, been an ordinary professor at Fordham University. One day she went to meet a friend for lunch outside the Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week. Foreign journalists suddenly surrounded her, mistaking her for a fashion icon and attracting spectatorsIt was a defining moment that turned Lyn into an ‘Accidental Icon’. Her blog of the same name, inspired by the experience, soon began making international waves. She is now a public voice against ageism in the fashion industry and the world.

“Fashion and my style help me struggle against that invisibility that comes with age.“

She was once asked about the old notion of ‘dressing for one’s age,’ and her response was clear:

“We use language to control people’s behavior. This phrase is a way of putting older women in their place. I’m certain that if you feel comfortable in your own clothes, it’s completely irrelevant how old you are.”

No one confused her for nothing. She is a fashion icon.

This is so dumb I love it

10 Things.

1. I haven’t used Tumblr in over a year. I used to love this thing, i don’t know how this piece of me got lost.

2. A lot happened since my last “10 things” which appears to have been written in September of 2016.

3. In the last year, I’ve accomplished a lot. I’m most proud that I graduated with my Masters in Human Resource Management.

4. I’ve dedicated my time to being my best and happiest self. I’ve done a lot of self reflection, practiced a lot of self love, and self care.

5. I’ve traveled A LOT, for the low. I think i missed my calling to be a travel agent.

6. I surprised myself and started a business. I offer affordable career development services, and i think the concept of my brand is really cool. You can check it out at shopwritersblock.com

7. I’m currently on a social media detox, I’ve temporarily deleted Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

8. You’re probably wondering what I’m doing on tumblr right now then... I’m wondering the same. But seeing as to how i don’t even use the thing, i haven’t identified it as a platform that i need to detox from.

9. In lieu of being on social media, I’ve been reading a lot. I’m only on day 3 of my detox, and I’m already on my 4th book (it’s amazing what you have time to do when you’re not squandering it on nonsense!)... in my reading I’ve come across the concept of being “liked” i don’t only mean that romantically. It’s quite an interesting concept to dissect, especially as i reflect on the reasons behind by detox.

10. I forgot how therapeutic this is for me. My aim isn’t for this to be read, but if you did read, I thank you for your time. This is really just for me to release my innermost thoughts into the air— those quiet thoughts that i don’t know how to share with those around me, but I need to release. I always appreciated Tumblr for that outlet.

it always really bothered me when wait staff ignored me + my friends just because we were young bc we are all really respectful people but the assumption was that we wouldn’t tip

anyway so fast fowards to when i became a waitress and one day this group of scrubbyass kids came in and i had 8 other tables with other people to look to but i overheard that one kid wanted a milkshake but he couldn’t afford it and the other kids offered to pay but he was like “nonono it’s fine” and i looked over and he just looked real run down and sad and stuff —- later it just so happened that our kitchen had a mixup so we had an extra shake and since it would just be dumped otherwise, i snuck it out to their table and gave it to him for free

and his friends were so fucking impressed by this they pooled every fucking cent they had i got a $50 tip and later his friend’s mom came in and said “i heard what you did for that boy” and gave me another 20 and offered me a better job working with her

and meanwhile at my other table a rich white guy i was serving complained bc he didn’t want to pay the 15% tip on a $8.90 bill and when his wife said “she’s been a good waitress, though,” he said, “but just plain good isn’t worth 15%”
