Description

Sissieretta Jones was born Matilda Sissieretta Joyner in Virginia in 1868. Her father was a pastor, and Sissieretta began singing in the church choir at an early age. When church members commented on how good her voice was, she somehow found the funds to attend the Providence Academy of Music in Rhode Island. In 1886 she went to Boston to get additional formal training and soon after was hired as the lead vocalist for the Tennessee Jubilee Singers. The group toured the Caribbean, packing in mixed race audiences. Their second tour was managed by an all black team, including Sissieretta’s husband. They performed for dignitaries and other high profile people, who would gift Sissieretta medals and jewels, which she began pinning across her chest for performances and became her signature look.

In 1892, she performed operatic pieces to an audience of thousands at the newly built Madison Square Garden. She then performed at the White House for President Benjamin Harrison, and became the first African American woman to headline a concert at the main stage of Carnegie Hall. After touring Europe, Jim Crow laws and increasing racial discrimination made it difficult for Sissieretta to pursue her career. She had to sell her jewels and medals to survive, and died in poverty in 1933. During the height of her career, she was nicknamed “Black Patti” after the Italian opera singer Adelina Patti. It was a name Sissieretta did not approve of, but it followed her for the rest of her life.

This classic unisex jersey short sleeve tee fits like a well-loved favorite. Soft cotton and quality print make users fall in love with it over and over again. These t-shirts have-ribbed knit collars to bolster shaping. The shoulders have taping for better fit over time. Dual side seams hold the garment’s shape for longer.

Hobbs is my pal in the buddy program, which means Hobbs is my pal in the buddy program, which means I spend special time with him. I used watercolor to paint this sign for him and included his bio! He can be very shy, but now people can read more about him and see what a sweet boy he is. I also recently got another buddy, a pony named Fergus, who lived with Hobbs in his previous home! 💗

This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the res This is me comforting Captain, a donkey at the rescue ranch I volunteer at, on July 4th. I noticed him laying down, which I've never seen him do before. When I went in his pen, he let me sit down and hug him, which is not normally how he is. He's not super affectionate. I felt like something was wrong. Another volunteer who has more experience came over and gave Captain some high fructose corn syrup, left some carrots, and a bucket of water mixed with applesauce. He said Captain was probably dehydrated. Apparently he was all better the next day. Donkeys can go downhill very quickly and not a lot of vets are experts on them. I'm glad it was nothing super serious and that Captain is back to his rambunctious self! ♥️

Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I Vegan chicken wings by Like Meat 🍗 Even when I was a meat eater, I never quite understood the concept of chicken wings. They're really messy, you have to eat around bones, and there's barely any meat on them 🤔 I can't say these vegan chicken wings remind me a lot of the real thing, but they taste good, they're healthier, and cruelty free. Not to mention, they're great with rice, homemade beans, and ranch made with vegan sour cream 😋

Tried this vegan soup from Gardein for lunch today Tried this vegan soup from Gardein for lunch today. For being store bought (and vegan) I thought it was pretty good! Maybe needed a tad more salt and it wasn't super filling but I would buy it again! It's nice to have more vegan options! 🥣
