The Carousel

” To come right down to it, if I take the kind of things in which I believe, then add to that the kind of temperament that I have, plus the one hundred per cent dedication that I have to whatever I believe in, these are ingredients which make it just about impossible for me to die of old age… I know those societies have often killed the people who have helped to change those societies. And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help to destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in America, then, all of the credit is due to Allah. Only the mistakes have been mine.”

Malik El Shabazz [ Malcolm X]

i feel like my spirit is alway so restless because i’m not living up to my potential. i’m meant to be free and love and explore and live my life spontaneously. i’ve trapped my spirit in the confounds of what society deems as acceptable and i’m losing time that i’ll never get back

Beautiful Magadascan women: c. 1898

(the beauty and power of these women made me cry)

Felt the same way as I was scrolling through these photographs of these incredibly beautiful women. Their elaborate hairstyles and equally as immaculate clothing just blows me away.

If you don’t know who this is I’m going to have to ask you to leave.
