I’ve got plenty of Hatitude, and I’m proud of it.
This past weekend I attended the 13th Annual Legacy of Black Women Film Showcase at Spirit Square. This has become one of my favorite events, and this year’s selection was excellent. I have to tell you, I was a little partial of the film Crowning Glory. I’m a huge fan of hats, and there is nothing finer than seeing a woman in her Sunday hat. I’m hoping to see many from my generation continue with our full glory. And by the way, here’s a rule of thumb: Ladies should remove their hats if they obstruct someone’s view. It’s proper etiquette.
Now for my weekend picks.
