Beautiful people,
Happy Black History Month! This year for Black History Month will be an inspiration series. For February, I will be sharing content from Black creators who have inspired me. Inspired me to heal. Inspired me to create. Inspired me to find purpose. Inspired me to dream bigger. Inspired me to enjoy life.
When content is created, we never know who is watching or who it will impact. In some capacity, those who create content know it will influence and potentially inspire people.
My first Black History Month inspiration is, The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl web series created by Issa Rae. Last week the web series celebrated it’s 10-year anniversary. The show originally debuted in 2011. I remember stumbling across this series in my 20s. Back in the day, I would watch the show on my lunch break laughing hysterically because the show mirrored my life. This show was the first time I felt seen and heard. The show made me realize it was okay to be an introvert and not have life figured out. This show inspired me to be myself even if it was awkward.
Thank you to Issa Rae for following your intuitive nudge to create a show, which impacted the lives of millions. If you have never seen the web series before, I highly encourage you to watch it.
Until next time,
-Peach
