The 28 year old mother is the woman behind one of the most iconic photos surrounding the Baton Rouge protests last week.

Ieshia, along with other protestors, were arrested for obstruction of a highway after refusing to move during the Alton Sterling protests in which demonstrators attempted to shut down city streets & highways in protest of police killings of black men. Her silent defiance and courage has become a beacon of light & strength for us all.

Check out this interview with the beautiful & soft spoken mother of a 5 year old little boy as she explains her reasons for facing armed guards and their machine guns with such grace. She said she did it for not only her son & brothers, but for black people as a race.

She points to her arm, referencing her skin color:

“I am you – we are one and people need to know that”

Ieshia Evans, we love you! Stay strong you beautiful goddess, your strength is inspirational and inspiring. 👑 You ARE me and I AM you!

Atlanta Auntie Begs Women To Stop Wearing Waist Trainers

I’m not sure if the following PSA was meant to be funny but it is beyond that. It’s hysterical.

Check out this Atlanta woman’s cry for women to “stop training ya waist” after her niece couldn’t breathe & ‘fell out at the Red Lobster happy hour on Candler Road’ from wearing a waist trainer “in 130 degree weather.”

The woman claims waist trainers cut off 30% of your oxygen to the brain.

There may be some truth to that.

I must say, I have tried to wear one of these trendy fat busting contraptions but I could only make it through about 15 minutes before it felt like I was about to implode. Not to mention they hurt my back & side muscles. 😔 No thank you, bowl of pasta please?

If you need a little comic relief after the stressful week, watch this hilarious video & join the discussion.

Mexico’s President: ‘No Way’ Country Will Pay for Donald Trump’s Wall

Mexico’s president said that there is “no way” his country would ever pay for a wall between it and the United States.

According to KTLA:

In a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Enrique Peña Nieto shot down Donald Trump’s campaign promise that he’s going to build a wall and Mexico will foot the bill.

Peña Nieto stressed that economic and social prosperity on both sides of the border relies on a firm relationship between Mexico and the United States.

“We also have to bear in mind that the security of the United States is linked with the security of its neighboring countries,” he said. “And this is what we have built. And I’ll say it again, this is what we have been doing with the U.S. government. We have a relationship of coordination, of collaboration and of cooperation in the area of security, precisely in order to have security in Mexico, to have security in the U.S. and … we are journey companions. We are strategic partners working for security in North America.”

“There is no way that Mexico can pay [for] a wall like that.”
