Transparency
I think that it is acceptable for a future employer or school to check my digital footprints. I believe that we should be transparent in what we do. To me that means that I shouldn’t post anything online that is embarrassing and depicts me in a poor light. You won’t see me in any compromising positions so I am OK with people checking out my digital footprints because I have not done anything wrong and improper.

The DANGERS of a single story
In Ms. Adichie's The Danger of a Single Story, she identifies how a single story is an incomplete one and when we choose to define 'a people' or 'a person' by one we are doing everyone an injustice. When we see people as we think they are and not what they really are we are demeaning that person and we are limiting our appreciation of that person due to our preconceptions.
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.

Be careful about what you post online
Whenever you post or comment, think about how the things you say online will make others feel - AND think about the impression you’re leaving of yourself.
Remember that the online world isn’t real life but it is PERMANENT.

I am posting this picture of my daughter and BMike from StudioBe. She is standing in front of a painting that the studio purchased. This image doesn't show her in a compromising manner and her personal information is not easily seen. This is an example of me recognizing her #BlackGirlMagic.

Prevision By Aline Kilmer
Prevision
By Aline Kilmer
I know you are too dear to stay;
You are so exquisitely sweet:
My lonely house will thrill someday
To echoes of your eager feet.
I hold your words within my heart,
So few, so infinitely dear;
Watching your fluttering hands I start
At the corroding touch of fear.
A faint, unearthly music rings
From you to Heaven -- it is not far!
A mist about your beauty clings
Like a thin cloud before a star.
My heart shall keep the child I knew,
When you are really gone from me,
And spend its life remembering you
As shells remember the lost sea.

Songs of an Empty House
from Songs of
an Empty House
By Marguerite
Wilkinson
My father got
me strong and straight and slim,
And I give thanks to him;
My mother
bore me glad and sound and sweet, --
I kiss her feet.
I have no
son, whose life of flesh and fire
Sprang from my splendid sire,
No daughter
for whose soul my mother's flesh
Wrought raiment1 fresh.
Life's
venerable2 rhythms like a flood
Beat in my brain and blood,
Crying from
all the generations past,
"Is this the last?"
And I make
answer to my haughty3 dead,
Who made me, heart and head,
"Even
the sunbeams falter, flicker and bend --
I am the end."
1. raiment:
clothing or material
2. venerable:
commanding respect because of age, character, or position.3. haughty: expressing an attitude of superiority.
