Last week, was huge in DC.

The Supreme Court affirmed Obamacare in a 6-3 decision and Marriage Equality was ruled constitutional in a 5-4 decision last Friday. There is a such an amazing and humbly feeling to be in the same environment where history is being made.

I also had a great opportunity to take some pretty cool images. On Friday, my supervisor turned to me and said, "can you go document history.." so I got to spend my entire morning doing one of the best intern assignments ever - taking pictures. After I finished taking the shots around noon, I could not help but think that the pictures did not only reflect history but they also reflected love.

Although this was a really great moment for so many people in America. Across, the country same sex couples are still discriminated against through law. Prior to the Supreme Court's ruling 36 states including DC legalized same sex marriage. The remaining 14 are working to integrate the new into their particle states. Here is a great article from the National Journal which analyzes the steps 14 states are taking to integrate same sex marriage into their state

laws. http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/what-are-states-with-same-sex-marriage-bans-doing-now-20150626

I am learning a lot about myself here. DC is so much more peaceful than Atlanta. My entire spirit feels more relaxed and at rest here. I don't know if that is because it is summer or if this city's affect on me. Regardless, I am thoroughly enjoying myself. 

I just complete my first week at the capitol as well. On Friday I had capitol tour training and realized how euro centric American is. Before I was extremely proud and thought I knew a lot about but Spelman has taught me American architecture was actually inspired by ancient Nubians and Egyptians. It really bothers me that blacks and africans contributions are often over-looked except to mention that slave labor built the capitol black ideas also molded our nation. 

I put a weave for the first time since December too. I really like the lady that I went to her name is Marcia and she was awesome! I told her that I am a sagittarius and she was like "you're a sagittarius". 

I really see the characteristic in myself and as I get older I become, more and more of myself and my position in the world. I'm also proud of myself for my fashion sense. I am becoming my own and I think that is such a beautiful thing. Cheers to forever emerging and blossoming into the young woman/ wolf in chic clothing that I am meant to be.
