For Colored Girls....

"Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud"

Essence Magazine is paying tribute to the Proud Black Woman. In a 70's inspired spread, Naturi Naughton, Tika Sumpter & Rutina Wesley captures the essence of African American women glamour & I loved every moment of it.

Vogue Note: #TeamVogueD, be inspired to celebrate your ethnicity & pay homage to those who came before you. Your culture helps define your personality & prospection on life…You are who you are.

Be Proud. Be Vogue.

Poem Of | The Week

CHOICES by Nikki Govanni

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do
It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do

If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want

Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral

When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal

I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry
