We are Rebel Arts Movement, we make kids fly! We target Black and Brown youth but uplift all youth who are willing to defy the odds. This student started with me last year, it’s the self talk for me! (Go Me!!!)
I made a move today. Black owned movement center with tumbling, acrobatics, and aerial work coming soon! I’m finna have all my Black & Brown babies flooding these spaces. Follow me on IG: alyssa_bigbee to track the progress
Black men tumbling in a du rag is my favorite song. Also this boy is unreal, I’m glad he had a family that encouraged him to get into tumbling and gymnastics.
Im not arguing with kids about “where is lil Kim today?” I know where she’s not. On social media being bitter and beefing with young rappers 🤷🏾♀️. She’s doing what a legendary rapper should be going. Sitting back and chillen with a cemented legacy.
@LindseyCreated
People have this idea that coaching means having someone “gather you up” all the time and I want so bad for people to free themselves from that thought
I know yall mean well but please don’t pressure other child actors to come forward and talk about this. It’s honestly probably horrific and we don’t even know if they’re still healing. If they want to talk they will but otherwise, leave it at that

I was 26 years old when I realized that interviews was not only about “getting” the job but seeing if the job was right for me. You have to ask questions so that you prevent yourself from entering a toxic environment
Your mother yelled at you, cursed at you, and belittled you because she struggled and you can’t see how having support could change the trajectory of parenting and child development?
@LenValyrian
I hate that I always see a decline in numbers for extracurricular activities as students get older. It shows how the parents no longer care
@jamesjonesesq
These the conversations a lot of parents need to be having. That’s why i loved that Javontae, TVCC cheer coach, shared his story of not being drafted but being glad he switched.
@SupernovaMomma
I was thinking about this when she was unsure how an hour passed and she got nothing done. I was also concerned with her piling so much on herself in a limited amount of time
@Frediculous
When watching the bio the mom was not present during Simone training and early meets. You just can’t waltz in when you feel like it and expect for kids to be cool with your mistakes. Thankfully her grandparents cared for her but where would she be if not? She setting boundaries!
They said the man in South Philly who was tearing down Black Lives Matter signs is a supervisor at Family Court. I hope he is removed but this is what we mean about systemic racism. His views have definitely impacted families.
As this tweet goes viral i just want to remind people that it’s Black folks out here doing the work to reach Black youth in tumbling. I’m up here in Philly but
@jamesjonesesq
is doing amazing work in Georgia. I’ve also known coaches in Maryland. Get your babies in tumbling!
@XLNB
They’re the definition of capitalism. They bring employees in as “permalance” which is long term freelance paying them $9/hr. You could be there for 8 years before reaching “staff” status and that’s if you’re still there before they fire everyone and rehire new people
@AyeshaSelden
My first boss was a Black woman and she told me to maximize the work you put in during your 20s because the energy won’t be there as you age. At age 30 I’m already feeling that. Put in the work and reap the benefits later
@keywilliamss
First, I'm sorry that this happened to you because we obviously see why you guys were pulled over and he's big mad. Were you able to get his name and badge number by chance? Maybe you can fight the citation.
You probably wouldn’t use the songs in class but one could use Missy Elliot as an example of black feminism that was on the horizon. She did not care to appeal to what mainstream considered “attractive” she did her thing and made sexy her own definition

@kelleent
She was making more money than him when she dated him. She ain’t gon be hurting at all lmao. Giselle bout to get them “hey big head” texts asap! Lol
Muting this conversation because I’m not going back and forth about this lol especially after that one foot, two foot, red foot, blue foot, diss rap released last night. Yall be blessed 😂.
@pollyirungu
@ReninaWrites
both sisters are also signed to a talent agency. I get more angry as I think about it all and how it should have been for that girl
@nhoodpublicist
Girl what?!? Hold on i gotta do some digging that is crazy lmao i remember someone tweeted “if the feds gave us crack to destroy the community, what do they give us now?” And someone def said podcast mics lmao
@zwaitersss
@robinwannabefly
The doll and book came out in 1993 there was only like three movies at that time and no books for kids. Y’all complaining about something that was a foundation.
Beyoncé's dance captain Ashley Everett on choosing Beyoncé over Juilliard: “I randomly went to a Beyoncé audition and did a full 180...and I don't regret it”
@keatingssixth
The way my Pinoy family will name a child after great Black legends will always tickle me. The girls are often named after singers, the boys after basketball players 😂

@thekamcode
Soon as I started seeing all these “squatter videos” pop up on Tik Tok, I got real suspicious. It’s exactly what I thought it was, to get people to rally against their own needs. They pulled at heartstrings to get people to relinquish their own rights smh
Allow me to introduce myself...my name is Alyssa and I’m an acrobatic & tumbling instructor for over 200 students in the city of Philadelphia. Simply put...I make Black girls fly!
I couldn’t believe in a world where you give oppressed people magic and they decide to use it to keep oppressors happy. Ain’t never heard of a world like that.
I pulled the brown paper bag out in my speech class and passed it around so the students could understand and I remember even the Middle Eastern girls weren’t making it lmao i said damn!
No cause paper bag tests were truly insane.
You know how light you gotta be to pass a brown paper bag? They really didn’t want NO melanin in them places 😭
@BREElieve
This is a fact! Because it’s not enough to just simply read together. You have to be able to know when to stop and ask them questions to make sure they understand what is actually happening. Also encouraging them to look up words they don’t know.
@ToreeBby
@JustLatasha404
I’m a therapist why would I make that up? Before being in a university, I contracted and had clients who been on a wait list for a year. Y’all really have no clue how this works.
@ballout_dee
I’m not sure where you are located but hit up your local university areas and drop some flyers. Some students live off campus and may be leaving for graduation.
@MayaElious
I think when people say hard work it’s not described correctly. Honestly it’s no different from maintaining a friendship. You have to nourish it and put time into it, you learn each other’s communication styles and fall into a flow.

Yall she was broke and on the couch until she was damn near 30 and you’re freaking out cuz you in your early twenties living with the parents. TRUST THE PROCESS!
@LindseyCreated
Stay with the titties out, hair big, heels high, confidence out of this world. THIS is my hero 🥹🥹 i don’t never miss a podcast episode she’s on lmao
So apparently a few cranky neighbors in Port Richmond/Fishtown are upset about an awesome new abstract mural going up in the neighborhood and they're trying to pressure the homeowner to remove it.
Do these folks know they live in the "Mural" Capital of the U.S.?! So lame.
@GlamazonJay
Weren’t these the same people quoting stats about single moms raising criminals and what not? Come on King, get your kid, save the community lol
