Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas not only recorded an anthem for the civil rights era – they fought for fair pay and proudly called themselves divas Classic songs ‘Nowhere to Run’ and ‘Dancing in the Street’ captured the revolutionary spirit of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

Mariah Carey - Outside (lyrics video) HD YouTube video by teammmx

Throughout Mariah's Carey's memoir, she quotes her own song lyrics at the start of each chapter & I'm using this to explore her discography. "Outside" is a vocal and lyrical masterpiece m.youtube.com/watch?v=KiwK...

"I also believed that somewhere inside I knew it was too late to give my siblings peace & my mother her wonderful life, but I could possibly give the world a Christmas classic instead."- Mariah Carey reminiscing on why she made a Christmas album

Mariah Carey's memoir has sure surprised me in its early chapters. She grew up in a violent family household & couldn't have a truly happy Christmas unless she stayed w her gay uncles b/c her mother & siblings didn't get along. Bless Mariah for surviving all that.

I was impressed by the amount of fiction and non-fiction books but found their comic book section disappointing. When I return my books, gonna go to a different library since at least one book I want is at a closer library

Phone selfie of me smiling on the beach, with a bright blue sky and soft afternoon lighting. I have lavender hair cut short like I’m in a K-pop boy group, oversized sunglasses, and I’m wearing an oversized cardigan.

a shot from Kamen Rider Zeztz: an adult man and adult woman are talking to a teenage girl holding a cat. Above them, a bright dot of reddish-orange light flares in the sky.
