"Malcom X aka Red aka el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz" born May 19th 1925 - February 21st 1965, he's by far one of my favorite leaders of all time, ever since I read his autobiography I took a lot of his life lessons to heart, one of them is we can all change our circumstances but we also need to plant our foot for our convictions @brooklynmuseum

I stumbled across her work last summer walking around in Harlem, I was enchanted and when I found out she had another exhibition I had to come

"Have you smiled today?" Growing up after a certain age I rarely smiled, maybe its a New York thing but I noticed my mood changed, didn't have that many friends, was angry and depressed all the time, but now a smile is a given if you ever met me in person I'm always joking around and playful #smile #grateful
