creativesilenceblog: For the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of developing the brand for a wonderful movement and online magazine “Culturé”, spearheaded by the lovely Onelia Pokou (pictured). Some of you might recognize Onelia as she’s been a key face in our portfolio for the past few years. Stay tuned as we continue to work on this, and eventually launch http://culture-magazine.com sometime late spring / early summer. “We’ve noticed a shortage of inspiring content within the African American community and have decided to contribute. We’ve gown tired of seeing our people reduced to mockeries on news channels, our women reduced to big booty bitches and our men portrayed as thugs and gangsters. We come from such a rich and empowering culture, it is our job to sustain it.” Culturé founder, Onelia Pokou

Falling in love with yourself is as beautiful as any experience of love is. It’s learning to laugh at your awkward tendencies and smile at all your quirky habits. It’s learning to be grateful for the many sides you have – confident, crazy, shy, sexy, nerdy, angry, weird, and all the rest of them. It is realizing that you’re one of a kind and that you deserve to give the world the best person you can be. Falling in love with yourself is being happy in your life and knowing that in this one moment in time, you’re beautiful simply because you are you.
