#HistoricPOC is the hashtag we need this Black History Month 

Founded by Mikki Kendall, #HistoricPOC has taken social media by storm this week. Kendall has created a platform to showcase the diversity of multiculturalism and race throughout America’s history and prove that there is so much more for us to learn.

How it demonstrates the one thing we need to remember this month

–– A real-life “Rosie the Riveter” operating a hand drill at Vultee-Nashville, Tennessee, working on an A-31 Vengeance dive bomber.

–– The Kim Sisters, a South Korean trio who had a successful career in America during the 50’s and 60’s, performing 22 times on The Ed Sullivan Show.

–– Sister Rosetta Tharpe – rockin’ & rollin’ before Elvis. And before Chuck Berry. “The Original Soul Sister.”

So many people glorify and romanticize “busy”. I do not. I value purpose. I believe in resting in reason and moving in passion. If you’re always busy/moving, you will miss important details. I like the mountain. Still, but when it moves, lands shift and earth quakes.
