Style Inspirations
Jhene Aiko: Trap Soul’s Flower Child
Her clothing choice not only represents her youthful and bright personality, but also her sophistication and refinement that separates the women from the girls. Her use of bright patterns without coming off as childish is a very admirable quality when it comes to fashion.
Tumblr media
Big Sean: The Master of Color Coordination
Big Sean is a dark skin, African American man who knows how to work with a color palette. Whether he is dressing for a formal event or for a night on the town with his equally fashionable Lady (Jhene Aiko), he can wear colors that accent his skin and other defining pieces of his outfit.
Tumblr media
Kanye West: The Innovator
Alongside his music, Kanye West has developed his own fashion line, “Yeezy.” This line accentuates the beauty of neutral tones and using them to create contrast among an outfit. The simplicity of his fashion makes him a style icon.
Tumblr media
Kehlani Parrish: The Roots Dresser
Kehlani Parrish was born and raised in Oakland, CA. Her fashion choices still reflect that culture to this day. The bright colors and over-sized clothing makes her a poster child for urban, Oakland fashion. Fashion that now represents West Coast R&B.
Tumblr media
Chance the Rapper: The Trademark
We all know this Chiraq native has his distinctive “3″ hat no matter what he is wearing. It stands for the third mixtape, the Holy Trinity, and the three-prolonged family of himself, his daughter, and his girl. When you put three fingers in the air, it looks like a W (a Win). This is a staple of his fashion and personality, and I can appreciate someone who utilizes a trademark to their advantage.
Tumblr media
Zendaya Coleman: The Statement Maker
Zendaya is an avid activist in Black Rights and Women’s Rights. She is not afraid to state her position; whether it is through a televised speech, an eloquently written social media post, or through her clothing. Zendaya will forever stand for a cause and convey it loudly and proudly; which makes her fashion such a bold statement.
Tumblr media
Rihanna Fenty: The Bold and The Beautiful
There’s not much I can say about Ms. Fenty. On the other hand, I could ramble on and on about how amazing she is. That is a woman that cannot be tamed by any man, woman, or societal expectations. She beaks the boundaries of fashion on a daily basis with what seems like little to no effort. Rihanna is confident in herself in all ways and that is reflected through her fashion choices.
Tumblr media
Jidenna: Classically Cultured
Jidenna is a strong believer of your outside being a reflection of how you see yourself, and he would rather be “clean” while showing what defines him as a man. He is a strong supporter of the classics (referring to dandier and gentlemen-like culture) and his Nigerian roots. He is definitely a good representative for young, African American men.

IMANI SULLIVAN. high school senior; seventeen. ryan destiny. OPEN.
and, as isis once said:
“We’ve had the best squad around for years, but no one’s been able to see what we can do. But you better believe, all that’s gonna change this year. I’m captain, and I guarantee you we’ll make it to Nationals.”
BEFORE THE PARTY;
Imani Sullivan was presented with a choice. One that not many people got from where she was from. You see, she came from Chicago’s South Side home, Chiraq. Yeah, that neighborhood you often heard about for all of the worst reasons. Now the South Side came with it’s problems. Imani wasn’t blind to the issues around her, how could she be when she saw them with her own two eyes. But those were problems that were brought on because her neighbors and herself were at a disadvantage. And if it’s uncomfortable for you to acknowledge that some people have a lot more privileges than others, that was probably because you were one of those people. Perhaps if some of her neighbors had those same privileges, they’d see how much her neighborhood could offer.
But no, they judged them based on their skin color. Add on their zip code and they were instantly out of the running. And that was damn wrong.
It was that very disadvantage that had always been her biggest motivator. She refused to let it determine how her life would go. It’d been something instilled in her by her parents, from a young age. Her parents — two hard working teachers that poured their heart and souls into making something of their students. They refused to simply give up, no matter the pushback they got from their students. And to their credit, they’d managed to not only send her older siblings to Howard University and Spelman college respectively, but help many of their students find some form of higher education that would be a fit for them. In fact, the wall besides the staircase in their home held the graduation caps of approximately seventy-two people they’d helped get a diploma.
The motivation that they’d passed down to their daughter had been what put together the South Side Clovers'. Before the Clovers', all that her high school offered was a step team. And no offense to the art of stepping, but she knew that there was so much more that she could do than step and she was determined to show that their school could do so much more. So she accepted the administration's offer to make a step team, and just like she’d expected, all sort of people arrived to the try outs. Dancers, steppers, gymnast, those involved in the ballroom scene and girls that just wanted to look cute in the skirts. 
That melting pot of talent, personality and looks was what had made the Clovers' a force to be reckoned with. Their performances racked up thousands on thousands views on social media, but better than that — it gave her teammates hope. Hope that some of them had never even had, this could be the thing that made them someone's’. Who knows, maybe they could take this all the way to the top. Or at the very least, help open doors for them that previously wouldn’t be available. It was that very hope that made her teammates do better not only for the team, but for themselves. They lived and breathed the Clovers', along with keeping their grades up — her parents wouldn’t have it any other way. 
In a short matter of time, not only had they become main attractions at the basketball games, some would argue even bigger attractions than the games themselves but they’d also served as inspiration for the young girls that came to the games. They wanted to be Clovers' and Imani wanted nothing more than for them to be. To remind them that there was so much that they could do.
But as with all great things, eventually someone had to steal right? You know how that goes. You simply slap a couple of white faces over it, throw in some Meghan Trainor and call it an original routine.  
That’d been what the Rosewood Toros had done with their routines. 
And how did Imani and the rest of the Clovers find this out? How most people now a days find anything out. Twitter. The tweet, two videos. One, showing the Clovers' and herself doing their iconic Attitude number. The other, their number... but only this time with a bunch of white girls on it, dancing to Meghan Trainor.
So what was the choice that Imani Sullivan had been given?
It didn’t take long for that tweet to go viral, it’d gotten everywhere. Apparently the Rosewood Toros had actually won a country wide competition with their routine, a title that’d been revoked once the news had come out. But in a way to either spin this negative publicity or to genuinely make up for it — you could never tell with the uppity type, the Headmistress at Rosewood Academy had come down to her school to speak to the Clovers'. She not only came with a rightful apology, but presented them with an opportunity as well. 
The entire squad could attend Rosewood Academy the following school year. Free of charge. Not only that, but the Toros would be under their leadership. It only seemed right as it’d been under their leadership all year after all.
And she wanted to say no to the offer, and in fact, several of the girls told to right then and there but Imani couldn’t do that. Her pride wanted to say no, but she had to think realistically. Her parents had revealed to her that due to budget cuts, her high school was about to be home to three high schools... so how could there possibly be a budget for the Clovers' the following year?
Imani would let her teammates regress, especially when given an opportunity to attend a school whose alumni went off to be greats in their fields of choice? Graduating from a school like that would not only give them a future but perhaps open the doors for more people like them to attend the school. This was bigger than her pride and stolen routines, this could possibly evoke change. 
So with her parents by her side, and the applications of all eighteen Clovers', she made the call to Rosewood Academy. 
DURING THE PARTY;
Of course her white counterparts had avoided telling her about the party that was happening that evening. One could only imagine why that was? But irregardless, Imani wasn’t going to let her lack of an invite stop her from making a stop at tonight’s festivities. 
No, no, no.
So Imani threw on her best, because you simply do not roll up on your enemies without looking like a complete 11 and gathered up her girls; Jenelope, LaFred and Lava because they deserved a party as much as she did. Not just for the humiliation that they were going to serve the former Toros but because they were here, they were in Rosewood and they were all committed to making the most of their new surroundings. 
The four girls walked into the party, if you could call it that. It was a bunch of preppy white people trying their hardest to move while 21 Savage played from their speakers. Now that they had arrived, she almost wished that they hadn’t. This was damn near pathetic, if this was how they partied up north — keeping her head in the books had become that much more easier. But they weren’t here to party, they were here to deliver a message. They were instantly greeted by Tori, who instantly got into apologizing. But Imani didn’t want to hear it, her apologizes were always just a little too late for her liking. 
So what did Imani and the girls do instead of hearing Tori’s apology? They got into a certain little routine that the Toros knew all too well, all while them how it was meant to be done before they stole it from there. But of course, they added an extra line to the routine. In perfect unison, the four girls told their potential new teammates: ‘Tried to steal our bit, but you look like shit! But we're the ones who are down with it!‘ and the looks on their faces was more than enough to have made the ride down to this ‘party’ worth it. 
Imani let the Toros know that they would be practicing the next morning, bright and early. Not only that, but she would be making her decisions on who’ll be a part of the Toros that’ll be going to Nationals that year, who’ll just be cheering on the sidelines for the football players and who just wouldn’t be a part of the squad in the upcoming days. 
But before she left, she pointed at both Victoire and Moxie, letting them know they would be the first two cheering off against each other in the morning. 
Imani Sullivan was going to see a Nationals that year, and she was going to do it with the best possible team besides her. 
That and this was going to be a matchup for the ages.
alternate faceclaims and prompts.

IMANI SULLIVAN. high school senior; seventeen. ryan destiny. OPEN.
and, as isis once said:
“We’ve had the best squad around for years, but no one’s been able to see what we can do. But you better believe, all that’s gonna change this year. I’m captain, and I guarantee you we’ll make it to Nationals.”
BEFORE THE PARTY;
Imani Sullivan was presented with a choice. One that not many people got from where she was from. You see, she came from Chicago’s South Side home, Chiraq. Yeah, that neighborhood you often heard about for all of the worst reasons. Now the South Side came with it’s problems. Imani wasn’t blind to the issues around her, how could she be when she saw them with her own two eyes. But those were problems that were brought on because her neighbors and herself were at a disadvantage. And if it’s uncomfortable for you to acknowledge that some people have a lot more privileges than others, that was probably because you were one of those people. Perhaps if some of her neighbors had those same privileges, they’d see how much her neighborhood could offer.
But no, they judged them based on their skin color. Add on their zip code and they were instantly out of the running. And that was damn wrong.
It was that very disadvantage that had always been her biggest motivator. She refused to let it determine how her life would go. It’d been something instilled in her by her parents, from a young age. Her parents — two hard working teachers that poured their heart and souls into making something of their students. They refused to simply give up, no matter the pushback they got from their students. And to their credit, they’d managed to not only send her older siblings to Howard University and Spelman college respectively, but help many of their students find some form of higher education that would be a fit for them. In fact, the wall besides the staircase in their home held the graduation caps of approximately seventy-two people they’d helped get a diploma.
The motivation that they’d passed down to their daughter had been what put together the South Side Clovers'. Before the Clovers', all that her high school offered was a step team. And no offense to the art of stepping, but she knew that there was so much more that she could do than step and she was determined to show that their school could do so much more. So she accepted the administration's offer to make a step team, and just like she’d expected, all sort of people arrived to the try outs. Dancers, steppers, gymnast, those involved in the ballroom scene and girls that just wanted to look cute in the skirts. 
That melting pot of talent, personality and looks was what had made the Clovers' a force to be reckoned with. Their performances racked up thousands on thousands views on social media, but better than that — it gave her teammates hope. Hope that some of them had never even had, this could be the thing that made them someone's’. Who knows, maybe they could take this all the way to the top. Or at the very least, help open doors for them that previously wouldn’t be available. It was that very hope that made her teammates do better not only for the team, but for themselves. They lived and breathed the Clovers', along with keeping their grades up — her parents wouldn’t have it any other way. 
In a short matter of time, not only had they become main attractions at the basketball games, some would argue even bigger attractions than the games themselves but they’d also served as inspiration for the young girls that came to the games. They wanted to be Clovers' and Imani wanted nothing more than for them to be. To remind them that there was so much that they could do.
But as with all great things, eventually someone had to steal right? You know how that goes. You simply slap a couple of white faces over it, throw in some Meghan Trainor and call it an original routine.  
That’d been what the Rosewood Toros had done with their routines. 
And how did Imani and the rest of the Clovers find this out? How most people now a days find anything out. Twitter. The tweet, two videos. One, showing the Clovers' and herself doing their iconic Attitude number. The other, their number... but only this time with a bunch of white girls on it, dancing to Meghan Trainor.
So what was the choice that Imani Sullivan had been given?
It didn’t take long for that tweet to go viral, it’d gotten everywhere. Apparently the Rosewood Toros had actually won a country wide competition with their routine, a title that’d been revoked once the news had come out. But in a way to either spin this negative publicity or to genuinely make up for it — you could never tell with the uppity type, the Headmistress at Rosewood Academy had come down to her school to speak to the Clovers'. She not only came with a rightful apology, but presented them with an opportunity as well. 
The entire squad could attend Rosewood Academy the following school year. Free of charge. Not only that, but the Toros would be under their leadership. It only seemed right as it’d been under their leadership all year after all.
And she wanted to say no to the offer, and in fact, several of the girls told to right then and there but Imani couldn’t do that. Her pride wanted to say no, but she had to think realistically. Her parents had revealed to her that due to budget cuts, her high school was about to be home to three high schools... so how could there possibly be a budget for the Clovers' the following year?
Imani would let her teammates regress, especially when given an opportunity to attend a school whose alumni went off to be greats in their fields of choice? Graduating from a school like that would not only give them a future but perhaps open the doors for more people like them to attend the school. This was bigger than her pride and stolen routines, this could possibly evoke change. 
So with her parents by her side, and the applications of all eighteen Clovers', she made the call to Rosewood Academy. 
DURING THE PARTY;
Of course her white counterparts had avoided telling her about the party that was happening that evening. One could only imagine why that was? But irregardless, Imani wasn’t going to let her lack of an invite stop her from making a stop at tonight’s festivities. 
No, no, no.
So Imani threw on her best, because you simply do not roll up on your enemies without looking like a complete 11 and gathered up her girls; Jenelope, LaFred and Lava because they deserved a party as much as she did. Not just for the humiliation that they were going to serve the former Toros but because they were here, they were in Rosewood and they were all committed to making the most of their new surroundings. 
The four girls walked into the party, if you could call it that. It was a bunch of preppy white people trying their hardest to move while 21 Savage played from their speakers. Now that they had arrived, she almost wished that they hadn’t. This was damn near pathetic, if this was how they partied up north — keeping her head in the books had become that much more easier. But they weren’t here to party, they were here to deliver a message. They were instantly greeted by Tori, who instantly got into apologizing. But Imani didn’t want to hear it, her apologizes were always just a little too late for her liking. 
So what did Imani and the girls do instead of hearing Tori’s apology? They got into a certain little routine that the Toros knew all too well, all while them how it was meant to be done before they stole it from there. But of course, they added an extra line to the routine. In perfect unison, the four girls told their potential new teammates: ‘Tried to steal our bit, but you look like shit! But we're the ones who are down with it!‘ and the looks on their faces was more than enough to have made the ride down to this ‘party’ worth it. 
Imani let the Toros know that they would be practicing the next morning, bright and early. Not only that, but she would be making her decisions on who’ll be a part of the Toros that’ll be going to Nationals that year, who’ll just be cheering on the sidelines for the football players and who just wouldn’t be a part of the squad in the upcoming days. 
But before she left, she pointed at both Victoire and Moxie, letting them know they would be the first two cheering off against each other in the morning. 
Imani Sullivan was going to see a Nationals that year, and she was going to do it with the best possible team besides her. 
That and this was going to be a matchup for the ages.

My friends decided to go to Chicago over the weekend and invited me. But I didn't want to go, my friends ask me why then I told them a black joke "I'm black I'm not trying to get shot in chiraq" they laughed and told me that is not a Valid reason to not go. But then I found out that friends got a hotel in which was really cheap 4 star hotel. Knowing that I was going and the plane ticket was $327 and I was sent to Chicago. Now the only problem was for me getting a Sweater to buy in Miami. As soon we touch ground in Chicago it was in the low 30s and man that was cold. The first thing we did is go to the pier and go site seeing of Chicago. The next day we went to the Art Institute of Chicago in which it was huge. Me and my frineds didn't finish the museum because it was too long but we had a blast looking at some of the painting. Like this one (see posted picture) which reminded of the picture you showed us in class. And the museum also had some Iconic pictures that I saw being reference in movies but never really saw real life. Cow's skull with calico roses was made in 1931 on a oil canvas
