The Yamps want to highlight Lori Elaine Lightfoot, a lawyer and reform expert. She made history today after being sworn in as Chicago's first black woman mayor and openly gay mayor. Let's follow her campaign slogan and allow it to light our path for a better tomorrow, "It's time to bring in the light". How will you “bring in the light” in your life? Comment below and let the Yamps know! . . . . #BlackGirlMagic #MelaninMonday #TheYampReport  #BringInTheLight #BlackWomenInPolitics #HERstory https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsR97TJP5k/?igshid=1lhcbst73p8z0

Daily affirmations are the key to the law of attraction. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with the everyday tasks of life, but affirming your truth and acknowledging something you’re grateful for can definitely take the edge off and move you to a higher level of self awareness. What’s a daily affirmation you use to keep yourself in a positive mindset and moving forward? Start your affirmation with “I am” to speak it into existence. Let us know in the comments! https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfmSu9pk12/?igshid=18qr97d4esb0i

It’s #WellnessWednesday and the first day of Mental Health Month 2019. The Yamps want you to know: You got this! We’re telling anxiety, depression, stress, negative thoughts, lies we’ve received, and any thought that threatens our peace of mind to kick rocks. But sometimes, it’s just not that easy. Help break the stigma of mental health by joining the discussion. What helps you care for your mental health? Therapy, self care routines, diet, meditation?

This one hit us hard. John Singleton was the mastermind behind some of our favorite movies. Because of him, we experienced some of our best moments together as we watched some of the best of what Black classic cinema had to offer. ⁣ ⁣ We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve watched Poetic Justice together. But one weekend in Norman, Oklahoma, after seeing it fiftyleven times before, we latched on to one word in particular: Yamps. ⁣ ⁣ We didn’t know it would stick, or that 6 years later other people would start calling us that too. But we’re grateful for all the memories we’ve made. Rest In Power, John. Thank you 🙏🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw21eG1JqsW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kjda4jwz17rg

This page is, first and foremost, an outlet for uplifting and celebrating Black women. But when we lose a man like Nipsey? This hurts. So the Yamps felt like we should send him to the ancestors and the Lord wrapped in love and in light. Rest in Power, King. They took you from us too soon. Prayers up for Lauren London and his kids. We don’t deserve this but they definitely don’t. . . . . #theyampreport #NipseyHussle #LaurenLondon #fortheculture https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsZ5blpFo6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=33ku15z9a52a
