Hats are definitely one of the vital blocks on my fashion pyramid! They play a big part in the display of my individuality and love for fashion freedom! Not to mention the fact that they reflect a part my Jamaican background. I cannot express the excitement that I felt when I opened my FedEx package and saw a hat smiling up at me!

With my locs and hats combined, the possibilities are endless. I love to incorporate hats into my wardrobe.I feel like each hat exumes a different mood and sense of style. I choose a hat based on the way that Im feeling that day and also by my choice of attire. Each hat tends to set the tone. I have some that make me feel jazzy, and some that make me feel strong. I have my classy hats and the ones that take me to New York despite the fact that I reside in Jacksonville, FL! I like to wear my hats when i go out on the town and also to big events. I enjoy feeling set apart from the crowd that abides by the rules of the mannequin model in the department store. I’m not afraid to allow myself diversity. I truly feel that once the last number is discovered, at that moment the last hat will be created! The diverse fashion world allows me to be who I chose to be rather than what society deems as acceptable or the norm.

I applaud Dr. King for having the courage to stand before the hate and misapprehension. His courage played a huge role in the fact that my neighborhood will be able to celebrate the holiday with a community gathering. 

The definition of diversity is the state or quality of being different or varied. Unfortuately, somewhere along the line being different became a crime. The speech that Martin Luther King delivered on August 28, 1963, I believe is the ultimate definition of diversity. He pleaded with everyone to open their eyes to the  beauty that lay before us. Our differences. The different skin tones, hair textures, shapes and looks. Sadly, at that time it was almost a crime to merely be different. I applaud Dr. King for having the courage to stand before the hate and misapprehension. His courage played a huge role in the fact that my neighborhood will be able to celebrate the holiday with a community gathering. We will all come together as we celebrate our diversity and embrace the beautiful differences before us. I especially will enjoy watching the children play and enjoy each other. It proves that Dr. King did not die in vain. The revelation of his quote “I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers” will dance before us and prove that diversity is beautiful!! I will also enjoy the diverse food selection that too will lay before us at the community gathering!!!
