For those of you that don’t know, Aunty loves herself a good drink. Usually those drinks spark me to make something homemade for it. What’s a jalapeño margarita without jalapeño simple syrup?

What started as a credit to graduate college has turned into an almost 20 year career in media. This production journey helped raise me. The ups, the downs, the good, the bad, the ugly. I’ve lived several lifetimes and I’m just getting started. I love what I do. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t do this. Growth is uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. Have faith, walk in expectation, and never ever stop. Be provoked to purpose!

I’m all for opportunity, but I also know what I bring to the table. Pay me. Thank you!

Don’t jump at every opportunity. Be careful who you do business with. If they want to walk instead of respecting your boundaries, let them go.

People love to volunteer your work, not even fully understanding what you do.

The mind of a creative can be s**ttered at best. We have to reign it in at times, but it’s also where those million dollar ideas come from. Welcome to my madness

Mae C. Jemison is the first African-American female astronaut. On June 4, 1987, she became the first African-American woman to be admitted into the astronaut training program. On September 12, 1992, Jemison finally flew into space with six other astronauts aboard the Endeavour on mission STS47, becoming the first African-American woman in space. During her eight days in space, she conducted experiments on weightlessness and motion sickness on the crew and herself. In all, she spent more than 190 hours in space before returning to Earth on September 20, 1992. Following her historic flight, Jemison noted that society should recognize how much both women and members of other minority groups can contribute if given the opportunity. After leaving the astronaut corps in March 1993, Jemison accepted a teaching fellowship at Dartmouth. She also established the Jemison Group, a company that seeks to research, develop and market advanced technologies. In 2018, she collaborated with Bayer Crop Science for the initiative named Science Matters which was aimed at encouraging young children to understand and pursue agricultural sciences. Thank you Mae Jemison for all that you do.

Tony Weaver is the founder and CEO of Weird Enough Productions, a company that champions media literacy. He is trying to fix the common misrepresentation of men of color in the media. Media misrepresentation has been linked to blacks receiving harsher jail sentences, less attention from doctors and a higher likelihood of being victims of police brutality. With his company, Weaver showcases positive representations of young black men and hopes to change the negative impacts misrepresentation causes on public perception. Weaver developed “The UnCommons,” an award winning webcomic with over 800,000 readers. In 2018, Tony made history as the first comic writer to ever be selected for the Forbes “30 Under 30.”

By being open and vulnerable about his childhood experiences, and telling new stories that uplift underrepresented voices, Tony hopes to show everyone that as long as you pursue your truth you’re never too weird, you’re just Weird Enough. We thank you and salute you for all that you do Tony!

Ethel Waters, born in crushing poverty, escaped to Baltimore and began a new life as “Sweet Mama Stringbean,” a slender and glamorous blues singer on the southern vaudeville circuit. Her technical and emotional agility quickly made her one of the major stars of the Harlem Renaissance era. She was the first singer to confront racism in a popular song, “Suppertime” in 1933, the same year she introduced one of her iconic songs, “Stormy Weather” at the Cotton Club. Waters was the first black woman to receive equal billing with white stars on Broadway. In Hollywood she would also become the first black woman to establish herself as a major American dramatic actress and the second African-American to be nominated for an Academy Award for her supporting role in the film “Pinky” in 1949.

Aaron Douglas was an American painter, illustrator and visual arts educator. He was a major figure in the Harlem Renaissance. He developed his art career painting murals and creating illustrations that addressed social issues around race and segregation in the United States by utilizing African-centric imagery. Douglas set the stage for young, African-American artists to enter the public arts realm through his involvement with the Harlem Artists Guild. In 1944, he concluded his art career by founding the Art Department at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. He taught visual art classes at Fisk until his retirement in 1966.

Douglas is sometimes referred to as "the father of black American art,” and it was once said about him “He captured the strength and quickness of the young; he translated the memories of the old; and he projected the determination of the inspired and courageous.”

Adelaide Hall was a dancer, actress, singer, and jazz improviser whose wordless rhythm vocalizing ushered in what became known as s**t singing. In 1921 she made her professional debut as a chorus member in the benchmark r***e Shuffle Along featuring Florence Mills, Josephine Baker, and Paul Robeson. Hall later appeared in Runnin’ Wild then launched a European tour. After returning to the United States, she toured in vaudeville and appeared on Broadway in multiple productions as well as recorded songs with Duke Ellington.

The Great Migration was the movement of approximately 6 million African Americans out of the South to the Northeast, Midwest and West to escape the oppression of Jim Crow laws. Harlem, saw an influx of nearly 175,000 African Americans, giving the neighborhood the largest concentration of black people in the world.

Langston Hughes was a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance. A major poet, Hughes also wrote novels, short stories, essays, and plays. He sought to honestly portray the joys and hardships of working-class black lives, avoiding both sentimental idealization and negative stereotypes. As he wrote in his essay “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain,” “We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too.”

Whether you’re singing karaoke, using your phone, or hard of hearing, you have James Edward Maceo West to thank. More than 90 percent of the microphones used today, including the microphones used in hearing aids, tape recorders, most telephones, cameras and baby monitors, were co-invented by West while working at Bell Labs in 1960.

Recently, West studied the acoustic environment of hospitals showing that hospitals are in general too loud and that the noise levels affect staff and patients. Dr. West has over 250 patents to his name. At the current age of 90, he is still an active inventor working on a device to detect pneumonia in infant lungs, and is a research professor at Johns Hopkins University. Join ETAT in giving this man his flowers now.

From some of his earliest professional photographs of Ella Watson holding a mop and broom with an American flag draped behind her, to fashion spreads for Vogue magazine, Gordon Parks used the camera and the world around him to show not only the state of African-American life, but also to bring attention to the creativity of his people.

Born Nov. 30, 1912, in Fort Scott, Kansas, Parks first made a name for himself while working at the Farm Security Administration. He went on to become the first African-American photographer on the staff of Life magazine and produced some of the best photo essays the world has ever seen, from showing the world what it meant to be black in America to the story of 12-year-old Flavio in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. These images resonated with readers and helped propel Life to a level of photojournalism that many say has not been seen since.
