So kylie jenner stole and capitalized off the ideas and products from a black owned business “PLUGGEDNYC”. There is legitimate proof of her buying from the company, and then stabbing them in the back a month later as she stole their designs. This has happens countless times where rich culture vultures steal from underrated black businesses for profit. I hope this company sues, but for now I highly suggest ya’ll dont support kylie’s “new collection” and instead support the REAL designers and creators behind this look: 

PLUGGEDNYC STOP

PLUGGEDNYC INSTA

PLUGGEDNYC TWITTER 

It’s gonna be hard for this business to get their true settlements from one of the richest families in the world, but the least we can do is stop buying from rich snakes like kylie! 

[weavemama]

ALSO: kylie and khloe threatened ANOTHER company they stole from with a lawsuit if that company don’t stop accusing them of stealing.  so yeah…. this family is fucking awful and ya’ll know how hard it is for designers of color to get their shit out there…. for these wealthy brats to steal their ideas and make hella money off of it is beyond fucked up.

Black designers beware!

The time my twin sister and I passed out

Let me paint y'all a picture. Its about 8:45 am and my sister and I are in our baking class. The teacher calls the class up to the front of the room for a demo. She's making some kind of cream type thing. My sister is standing in front of me talking about how good the cream smells. Next thing I know my friend ask her is she ok cuz she leaning on the table. I didn't think twice about it cuz she hurt her ankle over the weekend. Then the teacher starts asking is she ok which is right about the time I started to worry. I hear the teacher say yea she's gonna pass out somebody go Call the nurse. So while they doing that I'm looking at my sister trying to figure out what's wrong with her. Her skin looks real white (we're both black and caramel colored) and her lips look Like she just had some powder donuts. The chef tells her to sit down and is trying to help her but I can tell she didn't hear a word chef was saying cuz she didn't respond. Her eyes were vacant and her body numb. Meanwhile the whole class is asking her if she's ok. Her response is very delayed but she insist that she's ok. We get her some water and she takes a few sips and quickly starts to come back. I lean down to check the ankle she hurt over the weekend to make sure that's not the reason for all this. The ankle is fine so I stand back up. Now I'm real worried cuz I start sweating and feeling lightheaded. I pray to God that I don't fall out. My hearing goes and then I cant see. Y'all...I don't have the slightest Idea what happened next but I remember coming to with a whole bunch of people in my face asking me a bunch of questions. I'm coming to my senses and I realized that I'm slumped over in a wheelchair. They take me t the nurses office and on the elevator ride the nurses are talking about how odd It is that they went for one twin and came back with the other. apparently my case was worse than hers and she hopped up once she saw me going down. now I know Y'all are probably confused and so are we. those who saw it happen probably couldn't even tell you what happened. So that's the story of how my identical twin sister and I passed out within minutes of each other.

REMINDER TO ALL YOU YOUNG PEOPLE:

Do Not Take A Picture of Your Ballot

It is illegal. Your vote will be thrown out and not counted.

DO NOT post it on Facebook, or Twitter, or Snapchat or Instagram or Tumblr or ANYTHING. Don’t share it with your friends. The likes and notes are not worth it. Just keep your phones in your damn pockets the entire time you’re voting.Take a cute selfie with the “I Voted” sticker afterwards instead.

Please don’t let me read headlines going something like “Millennials fucked up the election by posting pictures of their ballots” because it will be fucking insufferable. And also Trump will probably win and we’ll all be fucked.

[pokemonprofessor]

Also, DO NOT WEAR ANY SHIRTS, HATS, PINS, BAGS, ETC. THAT SHOWCASE A CERTAIN CANDIDATE OR POLITICIAN WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE!

It’s called passive electioneering, and some states will bar you from entering a voting place if you are wearing anything pro-or-anti-a certain candidate. Show your support that day by voting instead of wearing your candidate proudly on clothes.

[bri-ecrit]

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

DO NOT TAKE/POST PICTURES OF YOUR BALLOT.

DON’T DO IT.

I remember being teased relentlessly throughout my childhood and my teenage life where people would say that because of my skin I’ll never be beautiful enough, they would even recommend skin bleaching products. So as a child I quickly realised that as a dark skinned girl I was not considered beautiful enough… At that time I didn’t know that it was the negativity from the people around me that was causing me to hate my skin and myself for that matter. I remember a time during school photos where a girl shouted “she’s too dark! You won’t see anything on her ID but her teeth!”, of course everyone laughed it out… And so did I…. Because I didn’t want to make it seem like I was offended… Their feelings felt more important than mine… After all growing up I was always reminded of how unlikely I was of ever being beautiful or finding someone that found my darkness beautiful….. As a 19 year old today I sit here and say “I never gave in to skin bleaching”, “I was constantly reminded of how ugly I was but that only made me love myself even more….. I began considering myself as someone different, someone beautiful and out of the ordinary.” Your skin no matter how dark it is that when you smile you can only see the glow of your teeth is worthy of love, your skin is that of a goddess and you should never feel anything about your skin but self love. I write this to all of the people that have gone through similar and worse, you don’t need to learn to Love your skin, the love is already there… You just gotta unleash it.

I would like to hear some stories of yours if you’ve ever gone through the same thing…. Message me on Instagram. IG: YoungNubiie

We don’t always understand God’s methods. His ways don’t always make sense to us, but we have to realize that God sees the big picture. Consider this possibility: You may be ready for what God has for you, but somebody else who is going to be involved is not ready yet. God has to do a work in another person or another situation before your prayer can be answered according to God’s will for your life. All the pieces have to come together for it to be God’s perfect time.

But never fear; God is getting everything lined up in your life. You may not feel it; you may not see it. Your situation may look just like it did for the past ten years, but then one day, in a split second of time, God will bring it all together. When it is God’s timing, all the forces of darkness can’t stop Him. When it’s your due season, God will bring it to pass.

You must learn to trust God’s timing. You can be sure that right now, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life. He has been working in your favor long before you encountered the problem. Don’t grow impatient and try to force doors open. Don’t try to make things happen in your own strength. The answer will come, and it will be right on time.
