Meet Bessie Coleman, a Chicagoan til Chicago ends, and the first African American woman to become a licensed aviator.
She moved to the crib in 1916 when she was 23 and was a manicurist in the Whites Sox Park barber shop (Good Guys Wear Black). Intrigued by the WW1 pilot’s who shared their stories she decided, she wanted to fly. But, being a woman & black in the States it wasn’t gone happen.
Robert Abbot, founder of the Chicago Defender (that would be a good post too) convinced Bessie to follow her dream. She went to France and got busy!
How dope is that!?!? “Shoot for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud”. Ms. Coleman you’re dope and apart of our Black History!!!!

I’m saying though, we “know the way he was living was wack, but you don’t get a n***a back like that”
Who didn’t see the sincerity in Hov during Unplugged when Jaguar Wright was killing the vocals and The Roots mashed up “I Need Love”!?
Then there was the hook, “I can’t see em’ comin down my eyes, so I gotta make the song cry”
The part that resonated with me the most was “They say you can’t turn a bad girl good, but once a good girls gone bad, she’s gone forever, I’ll mourn forever. Shit, I gotta live with the fact, I did you wrong forever” 😩😩😩 (been there and it makes me feel like sh** still to this day)
Damn…… “It’s f**ked up girl”
