I've been using sunblock since my 20s becauseI have lupus. I'm 47 years old. I still get carded to this day, especially when I am not wearing makeup. If you care about your skin, please wear sunblock.
Shea Butter is NOT sunscreen
Oils are NOT sunscreen
We use oils and butters to COOK MEAT.
So if you put oil and butter on your flesh (meat) you are cooking your skin.

Ayana Jones was a child murdered by the police just two years before Trayvon. What Ayana's and later Rekia's deaths showed me was that Black girls and Black women's deaths don't matter and everything Black is centered around protecting males.
I think Trayvon Martin’s death was the start of a huge black awakening and black empowerment movement for our current generation. That was really the first real incidence of racial injustice for a lot of us and I think it will go on to be a turning point in American history.
