If this not one of the many definitions of the black experience. This video still gives me chills till this day.
.
The song, You Are My Strength, a contemporary Christian song is given a gospel flair by an incredible black vocalist during a 3rd Open House at the Zhou B Art Center in Bridgeport.
.
I can't recall the exhibit but know that it was timely, like all art is.

These days. I am finding every opportunity to dress up and be seen. Even if it's only for a few hours.

Who else is getting dolled up, even for a quick trip to the corner store? Also, these little self-directed photoshoots are a lot! Included some behind the scene footage so ya'll know it's real. #someonesendmeaclicker

:: Ida B. Wells House ::.
.
Looking for ways to celebrate Black History Month? Visit the historic Bronzeville neighborhood spotting historic homes like that of Ida B. Wells.
.
Located on 3624 S. Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago. Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (July 16, 1862 – March 25, 1931) lived in Chicago in this late-19th-century Romanesque Revival style stone residence while fighting to end lynching, segregation and the economic oppression of African Americans. She and her husband bought the building in 1919 and lived there until 1929.
.
Wells was an American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the civil rights movement.Having settled in Chicago, Wells continued her anti-lynching work while becoming more focused on the civil rights of African Americans, including being one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
.
Visiting the Bronzeville neighborhood and learning more about Black history and culture is just one of the many ways to celebrate Black History Month year around. For more ideas on how to celebrate, visit the blog!

:: crandon park zoo ruins::.
.
On the southern end of the park is a long-abandoned zoo, now a nature preserve full of wild peacocks, crocodiles, and other wildlife.
.
The Crandon Park Zoo Ruins transports you back in time with a visit to this off-the-beaten-path portion of the park. Now inhabited by crocodiles(I saw a few myself) roaming peacocks, the Crandon Park Zoo Ruins is a bit of a sanctuary to the once 1,200 animals that lived in and around the perimeter of the park long ago.
.
Just one of the many things to see while in Miami. For more of my travel guide and how to spend a week in the sunny city, checkout the link in the bio.

But it's all good. At least I have photos to get me through it. And a giant bath tub with jets should I need to relive the moment.

The past few weeks have been draining with all of the snow. We've all been stuck in the house a way more than we anticipated between covid and the cold weather.
.
Just know, it's okay to feel a little blue or lonely or anxious. Just know that this will pass! The sun will come out, the snow will melt, and you will be able to be out and about once again. Image via Pinterest
