🌟 Celebrating the Legends this Black History Month 🌟

This February, let’s honor the extraordinary achievements and pivotal role of African Americans in shaping U.S. history. We pay tribute to the trailblazers like George Washington Carver, Shirley Chisholm, Frederick Douglass, Katherine Johnson, Sojourner Truth, and the countless others who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations.

Join us in celebrating a legacy of strength, courage, and endless inspiration. Let’s remember, learn, and carry forward the spirit of these heroes every day.

"...How come my hair is kinky?

On this head is the strength of iron and the shading of coal

My own blank canvas

Illustrating the designs of my soul

I control

I try and go easy with the European styling

‘Cause when these kinks are straightened, they stop smiling

I love being afrolicious, I love being afro proud

My head and my hair is to be respected

Everyone should love their own crown

..."

✍🏾 From 'Question Me' Poem ©️ Rochelle LoRo.

When I was younger I was exposed to so many narratives pushing the idea that Black is UGLY and that I WAS TOO. 😪💔⛓️🤦🏾‍♀️ (My 'IMAGE' POEM, on my profile and YouTube, goes deeper into my experience).

Fortunately, I was blessed with phenomenal, healthy and inspirational role models that revealed and embraced the BEAUTY of BLACK IDENTITY and helped me to LOVE the me God created! 🥰🌟

This is an excerpt from My 'Question Me' poem, which is a celebration of Black identity, touching upon the essence of hair, skin tones, strength and resilience within Black culture and history, reminding us of the deep roots, cultural beauty and treasures it holds. 🌍❤️

Botanical Wonders: The Enigma of Alaskan Harebells

🌿 Exploring Botanical Insights 🌍

Did you know that understanding plant distributions involves more than just naming? It's about mapping out where species thrive and how they vary across regions. Here's a fascinating tidbit:

In the world of botanical taxonomy, a political jurisdiction can be colored in if just one locality hosts a specific plant. This method helps when data is unevenly detailed, with some areas rich in herbarium specimens and others sparse.

Take the Campanula genus, for example. Recently, the Alaskan Harebells, scientifically known as Campanula alaskana.  Harebells in the Saskatoon area are no longer considered Complex Campanula rotundifolia and are now considered to be Alaskan Harebelles.  These harebells have caught our attention here in Saskatoon. These delicate blooms show intriguing differences from region to region, as noted by Mary Kreiger, a local botanist.

Unlike mammals, where species ranges are more straightforward, plants benefit greatly from platforms like iNaturalist. By harnessing the power of citizen science, we can contribute countless data points that enhance detailed range maps. Just like the American red squirrel's taxon range map on iNaturalist (check it out: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/54942912#activity_identification_a09efc16-e12a-4939-aaa6-d7928ea3b4c5), these efforts provide invaluable insights into plant biodiversity.

Join us in celebrating the collective effort of citizen scientists and researchers who enrich our understanding of flora worldwide. Together, we're painting a clearer picture of our natural world, one plant species at a time. 🌿💚  Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area
