Serena Williams is Beautiful

-

The Modern Day Amazon


Who determines beauty? I thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder, at least that's what most of us are taught while we're growing up. However the term beauty isn't considered so general in reality. Unfortunately people are equipped to matching beauty to certain characteristics that doesn't even describe over 40% of the world. I know what you're thinking, what does this have to do with Serena Williams. At age 33, Serena Williams is still the worlds best tennis player holding 67 singles titles and 22 double titles to her name. So why is she not the highest paid women tennis player? 
At age 28, Maria Sharapova is rank #2 holding 35 singles titles, and 3 double titles. Maria Sharapova is the highest earned female tennis player making over 20 million in endorsements while Serena makes only 13 million in endorsements. Many argue that Serena doesn't fit the feminine "look" that sponsors are open to endorsing, media has criticized her size speculating the use of steroids, and many on social media blatantly saying "she looks like a man." In response to those of you that say, are you freaking blind! Serena Williams is gorgeous, a mere modern day amazon. Her physique is strong, powerful, and dominant which the media fears. Amazon warriors fought and died like men while remaining female and attractive to many, such as; Athleta, Charmion, Xena, Wonder Woman. Race might play a part in why Serena isn't considered beautiful, but she is in fact a beautiful woman regardless of ethnicity. 


Serena Williams defied body-shamers on Monday by sharing a photo of herself in a form-fitting pink gown at Sunday's Wimbledon Champions' Dinner. 
Williams, who defeated Garbine Muguruza to win her sixth Wimbledon finals match on Saturday, attended the annual dinner at the Guidlhall in London with fellow champ Novak Djokovic. The 33-year-old documented the party on social media, posting the photo of herself in the glamorous dress via Instagram. "Swerve," she wrote of the floor-length gown, which featured an embellished and mesh bodice and a silk train.

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow.

Single Life, Relationship, or Situationship ? #30DayBlogChallenge

Day 11 Well my current relationship status is single. At the age of 22, being single have its ups and downs of course. I've developed a lot of mixed emotions about the single life. In 2014 I broke up with my ex boy friend of two years and I've been back "on the market" since. I enjoy having the freedom of not really answering to anyone about who, what, when, where I'm doing whatever it is I'm doing, but the single life does get lonely sometimes. Since my break up there's one guy that truly caught my interest and our situationship has been a complete roller coaster and I'm not sure it's even worth the ride. Wait, let me go back and define what a situationship is in case you've never heard of the term.  A situationship is  basically a pseudo-relationship masking itself as a formative relationship. It smells like a relationship, it sorta looks like a relationship, and it may even feel like one, but it's not. So yeah for those of you o
