When we ask you, our reader, to ‘take a bow’; we’re using it figuratively to say that you deserve to be praised. This week we want to give flowers to you; our BLAC readers and content creators right now.This weekend we invite you to take that much needed bow by allowing us to give you the praise and recognition you’ve worked towards all week. You’ve held your head up when someone has said your name in a negative way; you’ve smiled through a painful triggering experience and you’ve even done something nice for someone who has done you wrong. We see your efforts and we say “Take a Bow.”
What does “Taking a Bow,” look like over here at BLAC? It means listening to our “Bow down’ playlist while learning about the phenomenal legacies being left by women of Sigma Gamma Rho celebrating their centennial or artists like Beyonce, Ciara and even Charles Barkley who are doing their part to make our Black history sustainable. We also created a specialty cocktail mixture of Black-owned cocktails from our BLAC Happy Hour menu in praise of our contributions to culture. Finally have a much deserved celebration of our culture at this year’s African World Festival happening in Detroit at the Wright Museum.
If you missed it this week, we reported on; Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg teaming up in a new film “Day Shift,” coming to Netflix this summer, the new Black destination of Zanzibar unfolding for tourism and Chicago’s SOPHY hotel being recognized in the “Best Of Hotels’ list in Travel & Leisure.
Take A Bow; right here and now.
