Emotions all over – Top Posts of Week 7

Rest peacefully beautiful soul. Thank you for being the guiding light of our family for so many years. 101 years is a truly remarkable run and we are so grateful to have been able to spend the time with you that we did. I love you Great-Grandma. You will be forever missed.

Happy Valentine’s Day my Queen ❤️

In light of the most current boycott and digital outrage, I wanted to take the time to address a couple of issues that I myself have trouble wrapping my mind around. For instance, why would we (as a people) agree to a temporary boycott of Gucci for merely 3 months if what was done caused so much strife? Why wouldn’t we agree to a permanent boycott of Gucci as well as all other merchandise that fall under the Kering ownership, such as YSL, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen and more? I’ll tell you why… it’s because in this day, celebrities and failing artist pick and choose the hottest trending topic as a means of seeking attention and using fake advocacy as their platform when their “talent” no longer benefit them. It’s common knowledge that these luxury brands aren’t being purchased on a large scale by the Black Communities that you portray you’re advocating for, yet you use the emotions of our people that are already suffering with countless issues within their own home-front that you conveniently pay no regard or respect to. The same celebrities stirring the pot over brands that they, without doubt, will continually buy, are the same artists that inject rap lyrics fueled with drugs, murder and sexual promiscuity into the very Black Communities you’re pretending to care so much about. These same celebrities are proud deadbeat fathers and unfaithful husbands using their platforms to rally the troops against luxury brands yet, have been the prime contributors of influencing the destruction of our people by way of their musical content and imagery. Should we boycott their music and record labels as well or do we learn to communicate and bring solutions to the problems we’re facing as a whole? As a retired, wealthy and successful man that has promoted a Drug & Alcohol Free lifestyle, yes, I am a connoisseur of fine quality and top of the line brands; however, unlike many of these “New Money” celebs, I never forgot where I came from! Decades before @Dapperdan became a designer for Gucci, I supported his work and creativity consistently and never stopped. Not many of you can say that! Most of you took your money into the same high end boutiques and didn’t think twice about leaving our Brother and Legendary Designer behind until Gucci put their stamp back on him and that’s where your hypocritical outrage should be. Bottom line… If you know better, do better! Start with your own homes and the content that you mass-produce and sell to your very own. Take a look at how you’re representing your people first before asking someone else to do so!

BEST. VALENTINE’S DAY. EVER. 💙
