Jully Black

I said yes 💍 #EverydayIsValentinesDay #WifeLife #SisDontSettle #MyLastLove #Engaged

Part 1: My friend and long-time collaborator @roy_perreault got me GOOD today.  We make each other laugh, we make each other think, we support unconditionally and magic happens!  He works quietly (mostly) in the background, but today I want to share with you all how simple (but important) and honest words make what I've done, what I do, and what I will continue to do, worth every sacrifice. ###### "I went to bed feeling heard, and I woke up feeling seen.  Representation is everything for the underrepresented.  Allies taking a stance on a global platform for you and your entire community and for the land we share is an entirely different, higher level of understanding and powerful show of support. It takes nerve. It takes spine.  It takes LOVE. Jully Black is a friend of mine.  We are family.  We have worked together on a countless number of projects over the years, and while every project has been fun, enlightening and important in their own respective and collective right, this latest 'project' - Jully performing the Canadian National Anthem at the NBA All-Stars Weekend - holds a very special place in my heart, and in the hearts of many. I am Indigenous, Ojibwe, First Nations.  My ancestors were the first people on Canadian and American soil.  Need I say more?  If I need to say more in order for you to understand the significance of this post, please remember it is not about you.  This is about us.  It is your responsibility to educate yourself so that we can all have the same conversation in the correct tone and with the mutual respect and level of understanding that is required for such a conversation.  If I need not say more, thank you for keeping an open mind and heart. Indeed, Jully changed a single word (O Canada, our home *on* native land ...) but do not let her soulful melody and that beautiful voice get buried in politics.  Jully's version is going down as the GREATEST Canadian Anthem of ALL-TIME! It kicked ALL THE ASSES!  It was Church, it was R&B, it was fully, deeply soulFULL; her unique blend of technique, power, range, performance, and connection left us stunned.  My soul left the chat when she hit those runs.  I mean, #CHILLS, right? ...

The truth behind this 👉🏽I started my book with this pledge because I thought even if someone didnt read the entire book if they took this pledge to heart my work would have the impact I wanted it to have. For this I know to be true- the quickest way to change your life is to change your thinking and the quickest way to change your thinking is to change your words. ✨ These are the words that put me in the space I needed to be in to receive the love I wanted and deserved.. and I love that they have resonated with so many of you. 💕 Thank you @missjullyblack for sharing this pledge. 🥹 Appreciate you @laterrasrwhitfield for sharing her post with me! #sisdontsettle #sisdontsettlebook

Reflecting on my incredible journey as an @xtremehiphopwithphil @xtremeinstructors and immensely proud of how far I’ve come. Traveling to the @xtremecompound in Cleveland, Ohio for their 1 Year Anniversary with my fellow amazing @xtremehiphopwithphil @thepowerofstep instructors (Coach Army) @healthy_klinton and @steppin_with_coach_stacey , and our dedicated team greatness member @followmycore who is soon to be an @xtremehiphopwithphil @xtremeinstructors herself, has opened my eyes to the power of a dream realized. Being surrounded by hundreds beautiful Black people of all ages, sizes, and genders, united in “making step great again”, was nothing short of inspiring. Representing Canada on a positive level on off the step felt like being part of a winning 🥇 Olympic team. This experience has solidified why I started stepping in 2020, why I became certified that same year, and why I continue to use STEP as a powerful platform for building community and a place of escape and a guaranteed mood lifter when life gets a little hard to handle. Thank you @thegiftd1 for not giving up on you, for not giving up on your dreams, and for extending the @xtremehiphopwithphil bridge into Canada! We’re planning to pull up again before your second year anniversary! @moejo_fit your class has me thirsty for more! You’re the truth on and off the step!!! #xtremehiphopwithphil #xtremehiphopinstructor #makestepgreatagain #xtremecompound #JullyBlack #56IsLit

Xtreme Compound Vibes. @moejo_fi killed the mic. So happy I got to take one of his classes.

A menstrual cycle is the engine for the human race” Vikki (@ThePeriodPurse) What an incredible way to end a vibrant school year with the youth from the @Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre. The team from the Period Purse demonstrated how important menstrual health education is and how learning about feminine products can empower young girls, inspiring hope for a brighter future. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsor @Knix for their invaluable support in making this community initiative a reality. Did you know that Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner, a Black woman from Washington, D.C., invented the menstrual pad in the 1920s? Kenner (May 17, 1912 - January 13, 2006) went on to invent the bathroom tissue dispenser. #ThePeriodPurse #EndPeriodPoverty #MenstrualHealth #MentrualRights #PeriodPositive

At the Women of Distinction Awards, I had the honour of speaking about resilience. When it rains, some drivers pull over and wait it out, while others turn on their wipers and continue on, slowly but surely. In life, we need to remember this: we can pause when needed, but we must keep moving forward. For over 40 years, YWCA Cambridge has celebrated women who break through the glass ceilings (iykyk) and create spaces for others. These visionaries inspire us to advance gender equity across all fields. Let’s continue to push through our storms and make a difference, one step at a time. 🌧️✨ 💄 @debraguthriestudio 👗 @chant3lllllllll3 for @sharonangelastyles #WomenOfDistinction #KeepMoving #Inspiration #Empowerment #YWCA #JullyBlack #BeThatGirl @ywcacanada @ywca_cambridge
