All Black Lives Matter

I remember when I first arrived in Hollywood I couldn't wait to see the world famous Chinese Theater. Little did I know several years into the future it would be the starting point for one of the biggest worldwide protests All Black Lives Matter

While I did not march I did bear witness to this historic event, the energy was amazing! The following images that I captured speak for themselves, here they are...

Pride/BLM

Dwayne Wade, Zaya Wade & Gabrielle Union

As everyone knows by now Pride Festivals & Festivities are cancelled this year, this being stated with all of the necessary Black Lives Matter protests going on around the world today in Los Angeles the two will join forces.

In lieu of Pride there is a BLM march scheduled to take place at 11 am starting at Hollywood and Highland (the location of the first Gay Pride in Los Angeles) and ending in West Hollywood, the current home to Pride in LA.

While I am not planning on marching because of the current pandemic, I would if there wasn't one. I am wishing all of those who are well and please be safe. 

Also Happy 13th Birthday to Zaya Wade, daughter of NBA Superstar Dwayne Wade and Actress Gabrielle Union. Her actual DOB is May 29th whose parents threw her a party this past Friday that combined the themes of medieval and pride.

In case you didn't know Zaya is transgender and proud stepmom Gabrielle had this to say to her on her special day:

"You are such an inspiration and motivation to get my butt up everyday and fight," she wrote. "When I'm weary, frustrated, full of rage, I see your face and your joy and you living your best life and I want that for all of us. I love you sooooo much kid!! Enjoy this day and everyday knowing you are loved, protected, respected, admired and celebrated."

Whatever you choose to do today, make it a celebration

Monday Motivation

Black Lives Matter
Hollywood Blvd.

Today's Monday Motivation is real and spectacular! This is Hollywood Blvd. yesterday were it looks like practically all of Los Angeles turned out for the Black Lives Matter protest.

Whats amazing to me about this is not only did this happen during a pandemic, but this is way bigger than any crowd that Orange Caligula has drawn for anything he's ever done. No wonder Bunker Boy is scared and put up a fence around the White House.

Let this inspire and instill our faith in the good of people. I feel it's the perfect note to start your week off on.

"I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It' s decreed the people rule" - People Have The Power, Patti Smith
