| Yoga Session at Life Time at Sky in NYC |
If you follow me on twitter or on my insta stories you might know that I'm a huge advocate for yoga. There are so many benefits of yoga, it 'sgreat for the joints, meditation, flexibility and overall good for your mental health. Last week, I took an outdoor yoga class the at Life Time Athletic at SKY as a way for them to introduce their yoga program. The Life Time Athletic at Sky is an urban retreat in New York City representing the ultimate in healthy living. So if you're new to yoga or an advanced yogi and want to add some variety to your yoga practice, their new yoga program for the Summer/Fall is pretty lit.
The program includes,
- Root (fundamentals): Introduce Root to current members as a free welcoming of yoga into their fitness and wellness routines. Going back to the basics, Root will lay the groundwork for mindfulness and mental clarity.
- Be (meditation): Encourage those with a busy lifestyle to calm their active minds with BE. Programming will focus on pregnant women and corporate outings in order to grow niche market memberships.
- Surrender (yin): Encourage members and non-members to take Surrender every day after a workout to calm muscles for the week ahead or every day for ongoing clarity.
- Flow (Yinyasa): Position Flow as a workout alternative, option for the professional yogi, or active recovery class, strengthening, stretching and preparing muscles for their next workout or session.
When you're done with your yoga session, you can dip in the pool at their gorgeous on SKYDECK or grab a bite to eat the LIFECAFE. Either way, this Summer is the best way approach your long-term health and wellness goals.

| Fashion Doesn't Need Cultural Appropriation |
In a highly viral video, actress Amandla Stenberg perfectly defined culture appropriation:
“Appropriation occurs when a style leads to racist generalizations or stereotypes where it originated but is deemed as high-fashion, cool or funny when the privileged take it for themselves,” - Amanda Stenberg
There's nothing wrong drawing inspiration, but something is wrong if you knowingly take an aspect from a culture without the proper credit. But time and time again we (black people and marginalized people) have witness our style, music, dances, even the way we physical look get patronized. We have been labeled, "ugly", "ghetto", "unprofessional" and many adjectives that I can't think of right now...But you get the point! When the majority flips it and uses it for themselves, it's the trendy new thing, ie boxer braids(it's always been called cornrows! CORNROWS!!!)

| POC = People of color |
I think in these times more than ever we as bloggers, editors and social media influencers have been more aware of what we see in media and voice our opinions out of frustration and hurt. It's tough enough to be a POC in fashion to see everyday the millions of dollars spent and earn on our backs without the representation in ads, on the runway, the corporate offices and the boardroom. Let me remind you all and BOF something, cultural appropriation didn't come from something positive. It came from the majority, fetishzing. oppressing and expressing their elitism in ways to suppress POC. Until there is equality and racism is completely wiped out on this earth...Cultural Appropriation is NOT ok!
