Which song did you wake up singing today? 🎤 When the world tries to limit my voice, music is where I go to express myself. 🎼 music is coming 🦶🏾 (at Kingston, Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOgk-4HnsH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mp6fyiohzrok

I sit back & observe every person in my life, whether we talk everyday or not. I know who motivates me & is genuine. I also know who talks about me & smiles in my face. I know who I can trust & who I need to keep a distance from. Whether I say anything or let you be fake, I know.

My Instagram is s**tty... YEAH!! I’m braking that famous “PERFECT” Instagram everybody is so crazy about. 🤪 and this is how I’m showing off my photogenic side. #getusedtoit (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVxbt-hvuu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uil1r0ruqt0y

If I could change everything I wouldn’t because they thought me so much. #stillgrateful (at Negril, Jamaica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOPsELBoOd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hcfbgj32ae9e

I agree that we are creatures of habits so I’ve been checking myself on a deeper level. I have so much against me already why should I defeat myself.🤷🏾‍♂️ Comment yes if you agree.

Meet Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman who invented that rock and roll sound 

You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.

I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.

Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic

A few of her performances:

Also I heard she was bisexual…

Happy Black History Month!

when someone loves you - really loves you - treat them gently. text your best friend back when you can. tell your mother you noticed her haircut and that she was right about that recipe. tell your grandfather that the boats in his bottles are the best things you’ve ever seen. be good to the people who are good to you. it’s the least you can do.

This post makes me feel warm :)

Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Today the sun didn't come out as bright as usual but I refused to let it dampen my spirit... You know why? . It dawned on me, how can I have such an amazing opportunity to live, but allow small things like "the weather" to throw me off, yep, waste the time I've spent on this earth being sad or depressed? . I REFUSE TO BE SAD. It's my life and I'm happy to be alive. So I'm gonna enjoy every day as it comes. GOOD OR BAD... I love this. ☀️ "Love it with me" .
