“A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.” – Ecclesiasticus 26:15 (KJVA 1611)

With this weekend’s opening of Marvel’s Black Panther I am excited 😃 for my people’s jubilation for the awe inspiring, positive, visual representation of so called “black people” in a world that constantly feeds us a negative one. But at the same time we must be vigilant. Brothers and sisters… one’s STYLE should be a representation of one’s HERITAGE, TRADITIONS, & CULTURE and not merely an illustration of one’s fantasies.
“A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him. A man’s attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.” Ecclesiasticus 19:29-30 KJV 1611

Yes. It’s been awhile, but “Time waits for no man,” and “Spring has sprung,” so… I figured I’d make up for lost time and clear some head space. The muse of the day is a young lady that answers to the name “MALAKA (Muh-Lay-Ka).” She just so happens to enjoy the stylistic martial arts of textiles and fabrics. Go check out her blog, Scales Of Style. And tell her a secret admirer sent you 😉 I’ll be adding her to my “JPSKILLZ Inspirations” column so in case you ever forget the address you can always find your way here 😉 Enjoy the story.
