Walmart has become one of my favorite places to shop for clothes. Because, let’s be honest most of these clothes quality is all the same. Over the years they has worked hard to update their clothes sections to compete with fast fashion brands. When it comes to clothes, fast fashion is not always quality. You might be able to find a good deal on clothes, but if they’re not of good quality, you’re going to have a really tough time. That’s why it’s important to be careful when shopping for clothes.

Despite exploring particular music, cities, or even activities are typically seen as Black, how are they any less Black? While being Black is one of my absolute favorite things to be, I love being around Black folks who are cultured. Black folks who have expanded their concepts of life. For instances, I have a friend who doesn’t seem like she knows the ratchetest (hood) songs and likely makes well over 6 figures a year but she knows ALL of it. She knows the hood rap songs, the r&b and the pop hits. She likes chicken wings at midnight but also fine dining.…
