#mahsaamini “Woman, life, freedom” ❗️Війна в Україні показала нам як важлива свобода і якими сильними ми можемо бути разом. ❗️13 вересня в Ірані сталася трагедія. 22-річну дівчину поліцейські затримали за «неправильне» носіння хіджабу. ❗️Вона померла 16 вересня у лікарні. ‼️Поліція, безкаранність і диктатура винні у її смерті. ❗️Хіба таким має бути світ? Ні. І в наших силах це зупинити. ❗️Як нас підтримує світ, так і ми маємо підтримувати його. Не має бути відмовок, не має бути байдужості й закритих очей. #iran #ukraine #art #illustrator #portraitart #mahsa_amini #iranprotests2022 #iranprotests #peopleofcolor #арт #арткозацтво #іллюстрація #портрет #свобода #artukraine #procreate #ілюстраториукраїни #украрт #characterdesign #artcommunity #artoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cix7JelN8Ya/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Many people still fighting for their right to exist. #Women, #LGBTQIA, #peopleofcolor. Nine days ago, the #supremecourt made it clear we still don’t matter. This country celebrates freedom today, but only for White, Christian men. And it will only celebrate for this specific group until our rights are given back or codified. Because they will come for the rest of us. They’re setting up states to ignore election results. It is not over. They will not stop. #fight #fourthofjuly #democracy #vote #justice #freedom #prochoice #mybodymychoice https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmIq3Wrmp3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mother of the Bride Outfit Ideas

The profound beauty of the bond between a mother and daughter is beautiful. From the moment of bringing you into this world to nurturing you, she holds an unparalleled place in your life. Since your birth, her deepest desire has always been for the person you marry to cherish and love you just as she does.

There's perhaps no greater source of encouragement for a bride on her special day than her mother. She's your first and foremost supporter, and original bridesmaid, capturing a bridal moment with her becomes an indispensable memory that every bride should prioritize.

Hence, on your wedding day, as you embark on this new journey with your partner, it becomes imperative that your mother feels cherished and radiant as she witnesses one of the most significant moments in both of your lives. To facilitate this, we offer a selection of exquisite outfit choices for your mother to wear at your wedding!

As the wedding rings and the excitement mounts, one of the most significant moments is when the mother of the bride steps out in her elegant attire, radiating grace and sophistication. In 2024 , embraces a fusion of tradition and modernity in the realm of wedding fashion. Among the plethora of options, the Mother of the Bride Lehengas steal the spotlight with their timeless charm and contemporary flair. 

Why does the bride's mother need to dress absolutely right for the wedding?

The true host of the wedding is actually the bride’s mother. She is the one who graciously acknowledges and remembers distant relatives, third cousins, and even random neighbors.

The bride's mother is the primary host of the wedding, responsible for welcoming guests, ensuring their comfort, and engaging in conversations with them. Every attendee eagerly anticipates meeting her, Thus it is important and she should dress for it!

Among the  wedding preparations and between a multitude of relatives and friends, the bride's mother has an important role, making decisions ranging from floral arrangements to menu selections. Hence, it is imperative for her to exude importance through her attire.

Furthermore, for spirited mothers, ensuring that guests acknowledge her beauty or attribute her daughter's beauty to her is crucial. Hence, her attire must radiate elegance and charm.

While Indian mothers typically prioritize elegance and grace in their attire choices for their daughter's wedding, it's essential to consider a few factors:

Ditch the stereotype of traditional Indian sarees like Banarasi or Kanjivaram saree. Explore unconventional yet elegant Indian saree options.

Light colors are mandatory for mother-in-law 's, choose hues that complement your complexion and enhance your radiance.

Opt for conservative cuts and traditional Indian outfits while infusing a touch of personal style.

Avoid outfit similarities with your daughter's attire to maintain a distinct impression.

Steer clear of black and white due to cultural connotations. Opt for alternatives like deep navy or maroon and lighter shades like blush pink or peach.

Embrace minimal embellishments to maintain elegance and ensure your attire complements rather than overshadows your daughter's ensemble on her special day.

In traditional Indian weddings, there are specific dressing guidelines for all attendees, and the mother of the bride must adhere to them. We believe that the most suitable attire for the bride’s mother includes options such as a saree, lehenga Choli, or salwar suit.

Let's delve into the captivating trends of Mother of the Brides that are making waves this year.

 A Golden Kanjivaram Saree

Never settle for anything less than authentic Indian handloom silk when selecting the saree for your daughter's wedding.

A Vibrant Patola Saree

Mental Health Stigma in the BIPOC Communities

??Did You Know??

The Community of Color is disproportionately impacted by disparities surrounding our mental and physical health.

The Community of Color is also plagued by Mental Health Stigma that stems from multiple factors including, Culture and Beliefs, Historical and Racial Trauma, Lack of Culturally Competent Care, Intersectional Discrimination, and Stereotypes.

Systemic Racism is a major factor in why communities of color continue to be underserved, marginalized, and ignored.

The standard healthcare system is not designed nor properly equipped to address the disparities that severely impact communities of color. While some strides are being made to help address these disparities, one of the biggest problems is that we do not have enough representation in the fields and positions to properly address these issues.

Studies have shown that in demographics where there were more providers of color, the quality of health of the community members improved, there were fewer reports of ER visits by these members, and an increase of members seeking routine care.

I came into the healthcare space, not only wanting to make a positive change but also to bring awareness to why we need more representation and community education.

The Black community has the highest rate of disproportionately being misdiagnosed with chronic or severe mental health disorders and conditions, such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, BPD, etc. Even though, they may be suffering from severe depression, stress, and anxiety. This is also true for the woman population as well.

Without acknowledging the environmental, socioeconomic, and social well-being factors of an individual, you are not fully addressing what could be contributing to a decline in mental and physical health.

Thank you for being a part of our journey towards creating a more inclusive and affirming world for neurodivergent families and beyond. --- Promoting human rights is essential for neurodiversity advocates for several reasons:

Inclusivity and Respect: Human rights are based on the principle that every individual is entitled to fundamental rights and freedoms, regardless of their background, abilities, or neurodiversity. By advocating for human rights, neurodiversity advocates promote inclusivity and respect for all, ensuring that no one is discriminated against or excluded based on their neurological differences.

Equal Opportunities: Human rights ensure that everyone has equal opportunities and access to education, employment, healthcare, and other essential aspects of life. Neurodiversity advocates strive to create a world where neurodivergent individuals have the same chances as their neurotypical peers to succeed and thrive in all areas of life.

Autonomy and Self-Determination: Human rights empower individuals to make decisions about their own lives, including their healthcare, education, and living arrangements. For neurodivergent individuals, the ability to exercise autonomy is critical, as it allows them to make choices that align with their unique needs and preferences.

Dignity and Acceptance:Advocating for human rights is a way of upholding the inherent dignity of all individuals. Neurodiversity advocates seek to break down stereotypes and misconceptions about neurodivergent individuals and promote acceptance, celebrating the strengths and contributions that come with neurodiversity.

Protection from Discrimination: Human rights principles protect individuals from discrimination, including discrimination based on neurodiversity. This is crucial in ensuring that neurodivergent individuals have fair treatment and opportunities, whether in the workplace, educational settings, or society at large.

Legal Framework: Human rights provide a legal framework to address violations and protect the rights of individuals. This framework can be used to advocate for changes in laws and policies that affect neurodivergent individuals, ensuring they receive the support and accommodations they need.

Education and Awareness: By aligning with human rights principles, neurodiversity advocates help educate society about the rights of neurodivergent individuals. This increased awareness can lead to more inclusive and supportive communities, schools, and workplaces.

Summary: Supporting human rights is crucial for neurodiversity advocates as it aligns with the core principles of inclusivity, equality, dignity, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their neurological differences. It ensures that neurodivergent individuals have the same opportunities and protections as anyone else, contributing to a more just and equitable world for all.

As a Black queer woman, it's important to me that we bring attention to the discrimination against our community that still remains a major issue. It's my goal, as President of the Human Rights Campaign, to continue to fight for our people and show that these numbers are NOT a way forward. Black LGBTQ+ people face pervasive discrimination in their everyday lives, which continues to negatively impact their economic and social well-being. An analysis by the @humanrightscampaign, found that 26% of Black LGBTQ adults surveyed experienced sexual orientation-based discrimination while applying to a job or at work. And 23% of LGBTQ adults of color, 22% of transgender adults, and 32% of transgender adults of color have no form of health insurance. These are just two areas where Black LGBTQ+ people face discrimination.
