New #review #AndStillIRise (Unabridged Selections) by @drmayaangelou I've never really been into poetry but I'm trying to expand my horizons by reading or listening to books outside my typical comfort genres. I quickly picked Maya Angelou's And Still I Rise (Unabridged Selections) to listen to while I was getting dinner ready. I always love it when the authors narrate their own books because they use the inflection that's meant to be there, which I feel is super important with poetry. Her poem, Woman Work, was so relatable, even though certain aspects of the woman's work I do now is much different from the woman's in the poem. But when Ms. Angelou started singing, I stopped and stood still, covered in goosebumps. It's just that powerful. I need that sound on repeat. 🖤 Powerful #poetry by a powerful #poet! . . . . . #StoryGraph #Amazon #kindle #Bookbub #goodreads #iheartbooks #readingisfundamental #book #books #readallthebooks #booklover #bookworm #bookwrym #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readyourbooks #readabook #readallthebooks #authorsofinstagram #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnm1yWrrwyp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Scorpio season is coming…

The phoenix always rises

I’ve disconnected from so many things over the past few years that were not in alignment, burnt some things to the ground that lived within me, lain in the ashes of the remnants only to rise higher, I can honestly say with conviction somethings are beneath me, #andstillIrise #theancestorstheangelsandme #disentangled

This was the latest act of judgmental terror while trying to be a parent,how do you grow like this 📀 #AndStilliRise

Have you ever felt so bleh that you stop writing for awhile? Or that your stories aren't as good as others and ain't worth working on at all?? Or just don't wanna work on them at all for whatever reason??? Yeah well I'm working through those motions slowly but surely. Right now I'm just working on making the first chapter of (Im)Mortal better and trying to get back in the swing of things (finish fleshing everything out and whatnot) and hopefully I'll be back to posting something... periodically or more 🤣. Also bout to get a new phone cause this moto ain't shit😒. Ok byyye~

How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down! It is NOT in our DNA to quit!"

I chanced upon the tree and I immediately thought of #MayaAngelou. It wasn’t just that her birthday was close. She’d have been ninety-four this year. I was also reminded of one of her poems. The way the squid-like tree, branches like giant arms, sat in the Japanese section in #KewGardens, brought to mind a stanza from Maya’s timeless poem, and one of my favourites, "#AndStillIRise": "“You may shoot me with your words/You may cut me with your eyes/You may kill me with your hatefulness/But still, like air, I’ll rise.” The way that the tree encouraged visitors to stop and admire its beauty was similar to the way Maya’s masterpiece has long encouraged us to love ourselves fully and to embrace our virtues and flaws. #Cuban #Immigrant #Londoner https://www.austinmacauley.com/book/cuban-immigrant-and-londoner #London #Londres #Londinense #cycling #cyclinglife #bicyclelife #bicycles #visitbritain #visitengland #visitlondon #strava #stravaphotos #stravacycling #streetphotography #urbanlandscape #photography #VSCO (at Kew Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcI2ZgKs5wm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Repost from @jonnypucci • It’s been nearly two years since I first painted memorials to Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery on the boarded up Pekin House. At that time protests were breaking out all over the country (and the world) demanding accountability, justice, and acknowledgment that black lives do matter. It was an emotional time for me as it was for so many, and I was honored and humbled then as I am now by the outpouring of love and support from my community here in North Park, San Diego. This restoration was made possible with support from @unityrunners @runforbreonna @urbantrailrunnerssd @sdblgbtcoalition @rideforbreonna @northparkmainstreet and many others who got the word out and raised money to help me purchase materials. Also big thanks to @milanorthpark @sageceramics @amethystjesus and anyone who came by, talked with me, brought me coffee or said a kind word.
