Sunrae at MY Black Is Beautiful Expo

Ms. Mona, her daughter & I went to the My Black Is Beautiful Expo this week-end. It was a week-end of manicures, music and makeup. Ms. Mona really enjoyed the music spun (played) by MC Lite (top female rapper) on the turn table. They call it spinnig music on the ones and twos (that's DJ language). She played some old school and new school rap music. People danced in their seats. Some people got up and danced around their seats too.  Ms. Mona & her daughter took pictures in front of the LARGE signs that had MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL written on them. This Expo travels around to large cities encouraging young girls and women to accept themselves and have fun putting makeup, getting their hair done and taking care of their health. So, I want everyone to remember to eat right, exercise, drink plenty of water; dress for your size, shape, style and personality. Most of all have FUN doing it.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I am beautiful in my skin. I accept who I am everyday through and through. I am the best me I can be.

CREATIVE ACTIVITY

Vegetable shortening,

hot water

bowl

Options: (solid canola oil or coconut oil)

   1. Use a small bowl to mix 1 tbsp of the solid vegetable(canola oil or coconut) shortening and 1 tsp of honey.  In a separate bowl, mix the drink mix and 1/4 tsp of hot water until it is   dissolved. 

 Stir in as much of the drink mix as possible. The actual amount will depend on the temperature of water. The more you can dissolve, the stronger the flavour will be.

MAKEUP TECHNIQUES

Did you know that; fashion makeup is used in magazine photography as well as on the fashion runway. 

Theatrical makeup or stage makeup is used as a method in conjunction with stage lighting to highlight the actors' faces in order make expressions visible to the audience from moderate distances.

RING SHOUT

Hello everyone. It has been a busy winter and SPRING IS HERE. 

Soon school will be over and HOT FUN IN THE SUMMER TIME will be here too.

Well, GUESS WHAT? 

Ms. Mona and I was asked to be a storyteller at a brand new bookstore located in Union City, GA. Yes, we went and had lots of fun. Ms Mona read a book called Dancing The Ring Shout!, by Kim L. Siegelson .

 

The book is about a traditional african harvest celebration. Everyone attending the celebration must bring some kind of instrument to the celebration to use while they are dancing.  The main character searches for something to bring. Up until the day of the celebration he thinks he has nothing, but he discovers he has something on his body. He realizes his hands can be used as a musical instruments. Have you ever thought you had nothing to offer to help others?

 Just remember your hands are always available to give a hand shake, pick up something or wave hello.

Ms. Mona had the children and their parents dance the ring shout. She gave them musical instruments and scarves to use while they danced. They all shouted HOORAY!!!

Djembe

A djembe (pronounced /ˈdʒɛmbeɪ/ JEM-bay) also known as djimbe, jenbe, jymbe, jembe, yembe, or jimbay, or sanbanyi in Susu; is a skin-covered hand drum shaped like a large goblet and meant to be played with bare hands.

According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying "Anke dje, anke be" which literally translates to "everyone gather together" and defines the drum's purpose. In the Bamanakan language, "Dje" is the verb for "gather" and "be" translates as "everyone".
