It’s not Throwback Thursday, but I felt compelled to leave a little Bomb Life 101 note today, perhaps inspired by our informative Breaking into Fashion Panel at Cocktails with Claire x Ty Hunter LA.

Any strides we seemingly made regarding Civil Rights and equality with President Barack Obama has given way to open racism and disrespect, particularly of black women.
