Sunday’s Best
I always think it’s dope shining light on black folk in the fashion industry. Courtney Mays has been a top stylist for years now and Chris Paul’s personal stylist. One of many stylist taking the NBA by storm. Ten years ago what NBA players wore to their games and press conferences were atrocious, now it’s big business.
Queen and Slim
So, I finally went and saw Queen and Slim last night and it really didn’t disappoint as some critics said it wasn’t as good as it was boasted to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the many cultural and detailed Black nuances throughout the movie and how they captured the black community as a whole from one side of the spectrum to the other. How we eat, talk, walk, feel, and communicate with one another was put on display in a very detailed yet subtle way that it wasn’t just a “black” film, but it was, and one of hope and resilience.

The World Chico and Everything in it…
Throwback Thursday!
Around this time in 2016 I was transitioning from working together with Black on Enspire Streetwear, and rebranding GoonMilk for myself.
G.O.O.N.S. Dont Die, We Multiply
Tomorrow the second Cartoon Capsule collection will release. An ode to one of my favorite movies as a kid, “Bebe’s Kids”. Putting a spin on the movie’s motto “We Bebe’s Kids we don’t die, we multiply” and using hand drawn characters by my bro Mike Mike he did for me a few years ago.
3rd Annual Zelf on the Shelf!
Extremely proud of my cuzzo Azel Prather Jr., he’s hosting his third annual “Zelf on a Shelf” this Friday along with a self care day for his KIPP students where Barbers, Beauticians, and nail techs are coming into the school to give the kids makeovers for christmas! Last year he raised enough money through social media to get gifts for 340 students at his school. Surpassing the 26 kids he actually teaches. Zel was also featured on channel 9 News this passed weekend giving him even more of a spotlight for his The Prather Foundation and what he does everyday for those kids.
Distraction Addiction
What are the long term effects of too much information? How attached are you to your phone? Are Social Media Friends real? Can you put your phone down? Are you addicted to your Smartphone?
Ghetto Until Proven Fashionable
Moschino’s Pre Fall 2020 show was satire at its best. But that’s what Creative Director Jeremey Scott has always been known for. That being as it may, where as a culture do we draw the line of mockery and a clear admiration for what Black Culture has brought forth to fashion and mainstream media.
Get Enspired!
Can’t tell you how proud and excited I am for my Bro Black and his Brand Enspire! From Bucket hats to a Nike collab with KD! Watching Black transition from a hustler to a business man has been inspiring and motivating to say the least
God Bless the Homeless
My favorite living Artist Banksy brings awareness to Homelessness in his latest Christmas mural in Birmingham.

29 Rooms Washington DC
Touring Art Exhibits 29 Rooms hit Washington DC’s National Armory this past month. Photo Ops on top of Photo Ops and a dance break room. Footage by GoonMilkTV.
Role Model: Lakeith Stanfield
Many of you know him from his co-star role on hit series Atlanta starring Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, or ten minute role in the instant cult classic “Get Out”. But the brother is much, much brighter than the limelight has shown him in these occurrences. For one, he is outright Black, and I mean that in the strongest connotation possible, also Stanfield is advocating Black advancement in entertainment. One of the reasons he has become one of my favorite actors in Hollywood.
Dior FW 2020 Show
Its starting to become clear that Kim Jones is my favorite Designer. He continues to impress with his Street influences and acknowledgment to the culture through collaborations and injection of celebrity influence that has catapulted every brand he’s been apart of into the forefront of Fashion.
DNDDecember week 1
After a week of not indulging in social media I feel utterly better off. My journal holds all my would be tweets about my interpersonal life and I feel more focused, and less obligated to have to share my thoughts with people.
Writers live Twice.
BRING BACK DEF POETRY JAM!
Good to See someone EAT'n
DC based Streetwear brand EAT has a new, New Balance shoe dropping this Friday with Shoe City. Im proud to see our area getting national recognition in the shoe game as well as streetwear. Seeing how their brand has grown over these last few years I have nothing but respect for those guys over there, and continuing to push our culture into the forefront of fashion and shoes where our area belongs.
