Yesterday I joined twitter, only 7 followers but hey its only my second day. Today I visited a museum in Harlem with my mentor Kenya Robinson. We were there to complete the layouts for a couple of print designs that she's completing. She's doing this project which includes the KKK and one of the head garments for the KKK costume was actually designed. There were ruffles added as if he wanted to look good and terrorize people's lives at the same time. It was unbelievable. Then there was a piece that I fell in love with, oMGee. It's called "The Tree Of Life" and was created by Makonde. I was drawn to it right away. If anyone ever gets a chance you must visit Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. I wish I was able to actually go on a tour but I will defaintly be making an appointment to visit again someday. Well I must get to my VOGUE and TWITTER. LOL!! Hope everyone had a day as wonderful as mines.

LISTEN TO HER SHE SPEAKS

Have you ever closed your eyes and opened your ears. I remember the warm summer nights.
CLOSE YOUR EYES LISTEN TO BROOKLYN SHE SPEAKS. Let her blow a kiss and hope it lands on your cheek. She's only mean sometimes but she can't help it, it's because of the things she's seen. All the blood she's let fall on her hands. She loves though and that's because she's loved. Listen to her closely because she only whispering.

"I cherish those moments, the moments where I hear laughter. I hear the young boys cracking on the young girls. I hear the old heads trying to grab the attention of those young girls that look older than their age. The young boys try it too but some girls just roll their eyes. I've seen it happen and I laugh each and everytime.
I've seen it when the single mother has that one moment to herself the time when her children are asleep dreaming. I've seen that smile fade and tears appear, I've cried with her for she has struggles. I compare with her, I've struggled, I cry.
I watch the dealer give that women her next hit, she feens for it and he feens for it too. The money calls him, yeah money talks too. I see the guy that joins her how they compare, they share love but the love is for each other, they compare because of the drug. They no longer have to worry there gone now into another dimension another place where none of the b.s. exist. She smiles, he smiles their lifted their happy, but only for that moment. Back to the good times, do you remember those times? The family cookout in the park, that Sunday when your daughter showed everyone she could dance, yeah she was only two then but she's twenty now, she hasn't given up on you but she's decided to try and be the opposite of you.
She searches for you and crys because she can't find you. She's happy in the day but at night she cries. She has two kids and at night she cries, she cries because she wishes you were there to help her, she wishes you and daddy could know who her kids were, she wish she hadn't met the bum that got her knocked up even though her children are her everything. She wishes you were there. She wishes she could go back to being two years old.
Here's her message to you 'I love you and I hope where ever you and poppy are you know I'm here always and forever.'
See it's important to listen to me and remember I never sleep I watch over you and make sure that you survive in these mean streets. Your going to make it out though for you, your husband, child and her children your going to make it, the both of you will."

Get to know Tina Renee

My name Tina Renee (Combination of my nickname and middle name). I am a Jersey girl turned Brooklyn chick. How you may ask? Well I was born in Jersey but moved to Brooklyn at the age of 4, and ever since this is where I've been. I love it in New York. On some days even if its not to shop, go to the movies, out to eat but just to walk and enjoy the lights. New York is the city that never sleeps and believe it or not its true. I've been out at 3or 4 in the morning and there's always lights and people. Whether its a bunch of girls coming from a party, corner boys, crackheads, the cops, youngins or someone homeless there's always someone around. People in other states often mention the DANGERS OF BROOKLYN, walking through an alley and getting mugged or murdered. For some strange reason I feel safe. Not 100% safe but 95% at least. (Don't be too afraid.) Growing up in New York your always living in the fast lane. Teenagers here become adults faster than a child in a secluded environment. There is a wide variety of situations that we go through where we have to grow up. Everyone has there own struggles and in life we all jump over hurdles but the way a Brooklyn child goes through it in my opinion is twenty million times worst than a child living somewhere like Texas or Virgina or something.
Being the person I am there is a whole lot that comes with my personality. I'm a Virgo which means I am creative, organized, opinionated, not afraid to speak my mind, understanding, love to argue, a perfectionist, dedicated, loyal and caring. Using my creative and opinionated section I didn't decide that my future wouldn't include me being some kind of superstar singer or actress but a fashion journalist. I decided to combine two of my passions. I could say that I want to be a fashion designer but I'm not dedicated to deciding what I want to see people wear. I love helping people decide what to wear, and helping style people according to what they like and what fits them best. But writing always comes first, I've been writing short stories ever since I was maybe seven and even though they weren't these life changing stories they always meant something. Being passionate about doing something makes it that much easier to be dedicated.
In closing thank you to the eight followers that I have now and the future followers that I will have. Kisses to all.TiNA RENEÈ
