February is Black History Month.  It's a time to celebrate achievements by African Americans also time to recognize the roles of blacks in US History.  I'm very grateful Cricut reached out and asked to partner with them on this project.  Today I used my Cricut Air 2 and Cricut Infusible Ink to create a shirt that means a lot to me.
It took weeks to create the words to add to this shirt.  Nothing seemed enough.  Then I took a look at my life and then thought about the history of blacks in the United States.  I thought about the struggles from years ago and also thought about some of the struggles of today.  I came up with these words:
DREAM
PROUD
STRONG
DETERMINED
ME.
I plan to celebrate Black History this year by recognizing the struggles from the past and will continue to educate my kids, remembering the important people and events of our history.
