The Finer Points

Insights on Embracing the Finer Life

There often comes a moment in our lives when the quest for one's passion and purpose becomes a pursuit of utmost significance. It's a transformative odyssey, one that demands self-discovery, resilience, and unwavering determination. As Christmas Hutchinson eloquently explores in "The Resilient Mind," the realization of one's passion and purpose is not merely a destination, but a profound expedition of the heart and soul that transcends adversity and flourishes in the face of life's challenges.


There are assumptions that celebrities have different lives than the average citizen. But a recent revelation by Taraji P. Henson during an interview for her latest film, The Color Purple, showed they experience challenges just like everyone else, including racism and sexism. Famous entertainers are not immune to the economic issues faced by millions of people everyday. As an actress, Taraji has earned millions of dollars playing roles in various films and television shows throughout her twenty year career. But her emotional reflection touched on issues of pay inequity, often grounded in misogynoir, or prejudice against Black women. While she is not the first to speak on the matter, she adds to a practice that happens to be grounded in Black feminist theory that may cause a shift in the right direction.
