Miami's Historic Hampton House Hotel is featured i Miami's Historic Hampton House Hotel is featured in the new movie, “One Night in Miami,” which premiers today on @amazonprimevideo today. The movie, by @iamreginaking, is the fictionalized account of the night Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke celebrated Ali’s heavyweight championship win. 🌴 The movie takes place in the famed Hampton House Motel, where all four men stayed at various times when they visited segregated Miami. 🌴 My family and I toured the hotel, and Iearned so much about its history. I share the experience on the blog. 🌴 Swipe 👉🏾 for cool Historic pics and be sure to click the link Bio ☝🏾for more information about this Historic Black Landmark. 🌴 “One Night in Miami” is streaming now on Amazon Prime.
This is my favorite photo from 2020. It's not my This is my favorite photo from 2020. It's not my best work, I actually snapped it with my iPhone last summer. But there’s something special about the composition. 💫 Maybe it’s the fact that my small child is looking up at a building that’s larger than life. ⁠⠀ #tbt #blackgirlmagic #mydccool #uscapitol #washingtondc #dmvblogger #dcblogger #iphone
We haven't done an intro in a while, so here it go We haven't done an intro in a while, so here it goes...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We're Tykesha, Cedric, Aubrey, and Austen and we live in Maryland. I started Momma Wanderlust in 2018 to inspire parents to travel with their kids while teaching them about Black History. ⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ I’m passionate about diversity & education. I believe travel is a great tool to helps us mold our children into well-rounded world citizens. ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ My husband and I met at a lounge in DC. We've been together 10 years and married for almost 8. ❤️ We have two⁠ kids: Aubrey is 6, and Austen is 3. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Cedric is a Washingtonian (from Souffeast DC), Howard University Alum @howard1867 (H-U!!), and works as a therapist with young folk. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁣I’m a policy writer, freelance journalist, and entrepreneur. I'm originally from Miami, FL, and I'm a UNC-Chapel Hill Alumna @uncchapelhill 🐏 (Go Heels!). I have two bachelor's degrees (Journalism & African American Studies) and a master's degree (International Human Rights Law). I don’t use any of my degrees. ⁠⠀ Since Cedric and I both work full time we make the most of holiday breaks and paid time off so we can travel as often as possible.⁠ We're bloggers, content creators, and aspiring photographers. ⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Now that you know a bit more about us, tell us about you or drop any questions you might have below. 🥰⁠⠀ 📸: @dfinneyphoto
We took a quick road trip to Harpers Ferry, WV (th We took a quick road trip to Harpers Ferry, WV (the site of one of our first dates). We were feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to snap a quick couple selfie but we couldn’t get Aubrey to stop hopping in and outta the frame. The second shot captures the moment I start to fuss at my son to get him to move. He hopped out but by our 3rd try, he was back. 🤦🏾‍♀️ #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #travelingwithchildren
I'm currently reading "Atomic Habits" by @JamesCle I'm currently reading "Atomic Habits" by @JamesClear and the simple lessons are blowing my mind. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ My biggest takeaway is the 1 Percent Rule. The premise states that you don't have to be twice as good to get twice the results. You only need to be slightly or 1% better to make major advancements over a period of time. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm applying the 1 Percent Rule in all aspects of my life, starting with my children.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I took inventory of how often I tell my kiddos that I love them and I've realized that I don't verbalize it enough. I know, they know they're loved but I'm committed to declaring my love to them every day. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What small improvements can you make in your life and business? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📸: @dfinneyphoto #atomichabits #highperformance #momlife #motherhood #modernmom #momsofinstagram #motherhood #blackmamas #mommylife
