Yesterday I was watching the music video for Chance The Rapper and Jamila Woods' song and kept thinking about how you do such an amazing job visually presenting the vibrancy and community life in Chicago. Heading to a city wide prayer service tomorrow night. Current events weigh the heavily on me as I regularly teach about race, ethnicity, and ethics. Even my "fun" lecture about a Indiana Jones and the Nazis feels way to close to reality right now. Also, saw a tweet by Lin Manuel Miranda. I think it was just a cute quote his little boy said when he woke up in the morning but wow does it feel appropriate and deep right now. "It's dark but it's not nighttime wake up!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-parade-a-park-and-prayer#post-1836794 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 12:32:30 +0000 Ledonna N. 1836794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for taking the time to read, comment or just look at the pictures.</p> <p>Zi'Joy is feeling much better thank goodness I missed her smile while she was not feeling well .&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm tired but reading your comments as well as post on the form gives me a bright spot.</p> <p>Whatever your faith work or non faith I pray that we will see better days ahead.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-parade-a-park-and-prayer#post-1836522 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 15:29:11 +0000 Anonymous 1836522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pics of you two and your description of the event you attended are like balm for the soul!! &nbsp;Thank you for sharing little bits of your and your little nugget's life with us. &nbsp;<br />Finding myself in almost constant prayer these days. &nbsp;(And, yes, I know that should be the normal state of things, not just in time of crisis.....)<br />Hatred is despicable no matter where it takes place, but I am especially affected by the events of this past weekend seeing the images in beautiful Charlottesville where I lived at one time and know the streets and landmarks so well. &nbsp;<br />So glad to hear your little Zi'Joy is feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-parade-a-park-and-prayer#post-1836464 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 12:55:32 +0000 RobinF 1836464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You both look amazing!

We started off on a very high note on Saturday was our annual Bud Billiken Day Parade. This is the 88th year of the parade and we celebrated watching the entire parade that stretches for 3 miles. </p> <p>Essentially it is a back-to-school parade and this year's Grand Marshal was Chance the Rapper a well-known local and International rap artist who has become famous for being a wonderful generous entrepreneurial person and helping the Chicago public school system with donations of funds and finances. Well we didn't get any pictures of us we did get many pictures of the parade so I'll include those in here. Chance the Rapper also handed out 33,000 backpacks filled with school supplies. He also handed out free tickets to his concert to teachers and fathers for their children and did a free concert that evening.</p> <p>Sunday as usual we went to our local church and had a phenomenal time as we always do the dance filled with singing Praise. Zi'Joy is not smiling in any of these pictures. My poor little one was not really feeling well she started her vegetables this past week along with school she had a bit of a tummy ache by the end of Sunday all was well and she was back to smiles and laughter. I thought her serious face reminded me of me so much. I think she looks more like her father but these images capture who I am so well not that I'm always serious but the looks I can give.</p> <p>The Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic is an annual parade held since 1929 in the Bronzeville/Washington Park neighborhoods of Chicago, Illinois, United States; it is the largest African-American parade in the nation.</p> <p>On this day we both decided to wear leopard print. I in my drop waist leopard print peplum top and Zi'Joy in her leopard print pants. Because baby girl was not feeling so well I decided to try and keep her outfit simple without being constricting so everything was very flexible it was kind of cool so she wore a beautiful sweater top which was pink and had a heart on it and her new pink booties her first and she is actually decided to keep these on. I was in a pinstripe pants denim jacket and beautiful purple head wrap. The day was just beautiful so we decided to go to the park after church. Our park is so ginormous you never see the same thing twice very beautiful and very lovely to walk in so we just enjoyed the day.</p> <p>Please pray for everything that is happening in the United States and around the world so many things that are affecting so many people so many tragedies. That's why I include the prayer as this is a fashion site I try not to get too involved in Daily homegoings but I just needed to say that we are praying for all those who are involved in these tragic times. </p>
