The 2022 Black History Month's theme is Black Health and Wellness. This focus will celebrate the contributions and breakthroughs of Black professionals as well as speaking to the cultural richness of those “non-traditional” health and wellness practitioners (e.g., doulas, midwives, etc.....Google news


Poem Artwork

Cake made by Ashita John Pawar for an international Cake Collaboration. Melanite- A fight against Colourism hosted by Aaisha Sumbul published in February 2022 issue of Saracino- we love pastry magazine, Her  edible layout.themed "See different colours, not colours differently"  

 

 

Mix of  novel thoughtfulness

Measure each  ingredient in  cup of love

A lot of  soft buttery  words

A pinch of praise to make  them rise

Sweet to add ,top  with fruit  and gifts

Show the other you care

Beat in  seeds of friendship ties

Bake it in with positive vibes

 Honey, milk, dark chocolate, cheese

 Nuts and raisins different  sweetmeat

 learn to love flavours with ease

The essence of life is in  mix of it

Fluff it up with icing  frost

Cool down with sweet words when heat is up

This we learnt long time ago

The best  scents waft from  Ambergris

 What is in a name that be

White with black  gives neutral  grey

Add  colors! variety to life

Today we are here, like flowers we  fade

Hey hey  hey what more to say!

Its time  for chocolate valentine giveaway bites

Celebrate  each other with colors of love

When  colourism fails, one to one binds

Will you be my Valentine?? I am not white!

lol colors of skin should not matter, colors of beauty should, inner beauty has many shades, and it radiates through the eyes and the soul. Beautiful poem dear poetess, keep up the good work, Celebrate love and all its charms :)

A very unique poem blending cooking with celebration and the outcome being what blending of the races results in. A much better tasting result.

At the rate interracial marriage is happening, I believe that all of humankind will be various shades of brown for most with a few starkly not brown or any shade of it, but the few very recessive traits like red hair and green eyes, white hair and blue eyes.

Dark chocolate is the best one. Give it, not the cheap, creamy ones, to your Valentine.

I bought a can of spray that is supposed to give the user a quick tan. I called it "tan in a can." I pressed the button on top and it dribbled a very dark glob on my leg. I tried to spread it around, but it only smeared and made things worse. It would not wash off, so now I am an awful-looking piece of charcoal. Do I count as Black?
