Thank you to the ancestors who understood that we should honor those who laid down their lives so we could all be free. God bless every serviceman and woman who has made the ultimate sacrifice for us. I especially want to honor those of the National Guard who have died on American soil helping citizens during natural disasters and attacks on the homeland. #thankyou #memorialday #neverforget #melaninbarbiethoughts #mahoganymay #black365 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-MuTtjqTn/?igshid=tygttwkyex4f

It's time to dispell the myths that have been perpetrated for years about why whites invaded melinated peoples' land, enslaved them, and called it exploration, industry, and ministry. They wanted the resources and the free labor. The only thing they taught us is that you can't treat uncivilized people civilly, though we've tried. It's time we learn that lesson. #thanks4nothing #nomorelies #wakeupwednesday #mahoganymay #blackhistoryyear

The system may be corrupt but the service and sacrifice is very real. And appreciated. #gonebutneverforgotten #mahoganymay #blackhistoryyear

Who will tell young melinated kings and queens in training that they are amazing? Who will teach them that they don't have to follow the European standards of beauty to be considered beautiful? Who will encourage them to love the skin they're in, and positively express their pride in themselves? Who will teach them about melanin and all of its blessings and benefits? If not us then who? #iglorifyblackness👤 #sorrynotsorry #melinanbepoppin #sayitlikeitissaturday #mahoganymay
