Black History Month: Movies

M O V I E S

Get Out directed by Jordan Peele: "Get Out" is a horror/thriller film about an interracial couple Chris and Rose, Chris is black and Rose is white. Chris and Rose go on a trip to meet Rose's family, at first Rose's family comes off as sweet and over accommodating to Chris. But through the movie Chris sees a different side of them. This is a GREAT movie and I highly recommend, you watch it.

Us directed by Jordan Peele: "Us" is a horror/thriller film that follows a black family, the film begins by following the wife of the family's childhood. There is a specific event that is shown in the beginning that has a huge role in the movie. I don't want to spoil it, but the event has a huge role and unveils a whole community of sadness. I love this movie it really makes you think, please watch it if you haven't already.

Black Panther directed by Ryan Coogler: "Black Panther" is a Marvel movie about a fictional African nation Wakanda, and their king. Though who the title of the king goes to is in question, and has to be dueled out. This is the best Marvel movie for people who aren't really into superheros, I definitely recommend it.

Honorable Mentions:

- Moonlight directed by Barry Jenkins - deeper thinking movie

- Friday directed by F. Gary Gary - comedy movie

- Hidden Figures directed by Theodore Melfi - historical movie

- Love & Basketball directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood - romantic movie
^^ all of these movies are great and I highly recommend.

That's all I hope you all enjoyed, thank you for reading!

How To Find Your Aesthetic

Hi everyone today I'll be discussing how to find your aesthetic or individual style. 1. The Fit of Clothes The first thing that determines your aesthetic is how you want your clothing to fit for example do you like the fit of skinny jeans, baggy jeans, or flare jeans on your body. I prefer mom jeans on my body instead of a skinny jean fit. Also do you prefer your tops to fit tighter or baggy, for me I like a mix of both. How you like clothes to fit your body is big part of finding your style/aesthetic because, your clothing will be the base of your style. (source: 7esl.com) 2. What Shoes You Like The second thing that determines your aesthetic is what shoes you like and look good on your feet for example do you like sneakers, heels, or boots. I prefer sneakers. Along with the type of shoe you also need to figure out what style of shoe like chunky, platform, or flat sole shoes. If you're shorter maybe platform is your go to , or if you're tall maybe a more flat sole sho

All About the Georgia RunOffs

Hi everyone today I'll be discussing the Georgia Senate race runoffs, my goal is to educate my you all on this topic. (picture credits: thenation.com) What is a Run-Off election? According to "Balletpedia.com" a runoff election is a second election held to determine a winner when no candidate in the first election met the required threshold for victory.
