I think every girl should be told that she’s beautiful AT LEAST once a day.

And if you haven’t today,

Sweetheart, you’re BEAUTIFUL.

Been there

My dad gave me the TIGHTEST darn ponytails of my LIFE lol

This character required me to go places that were unimaginable and it really pushed me to the edge of my sanity, quite frankly. And if I didn’t have Jamie, someone I so love, and respect, and admire, as my partner, I couldn’t have done it.  (x)

"Students of color are allowed to enter the classroom but never on an equal footing. When they walk in, they are subject to the same racial stereotypes and expectations that exist in the larger society. Students of color do not have the advantage of walking into a classroom as individuals; they walk in as black, brown, or red persons with all the connotations such racialization raises in the classroom. They do not walk into a classroom where the curriculum embraces their histories. They walk into a classroom where their histories and cultures are distorted, where they feel confused about their own identities, vulnerabilities, and oppressions. There is no level of liberal reforms that can alter these experiences for students of color without directly challenging the larger systems in society."

People keep asking me if I’m mixed with something because of my hair and I just be like, “Nah, son…i’m regular black.” and my parents are like, “April, what the hell is regular black? Why don’t you tell people the truth?”

The reason why i don’t tell people is because I don’t wanna come off as one…

spiritualinspiration: Sometimes the very things we think are awful turn out to be a great blessing. The greatest trial can develop in you the greatest faith. You might be at the bottom of a pit, but God has a plan to use that pit to promote you in His call on your life. Remember, God can see all, and He will use those trials for your good.
