Layori’s Beautiful Melodies
I stumbled across Layori in while running the Beautiful Brown Blogs feature last week and could not wait to share this wonderful artist with you all. Even though I don’t understand all the words, I absolutely LOVE it when she sings in Yoruba. LOVE. IT. Below she covers U2′s With or Without You. I hope you enjoy this, too!

Los Angeles’s Beautiful Black History
“The Southern California Library is a people’s library dedicated to documenting and preserving the histories of communities in struggle for justice and using our collections to address the challenges of the present so that all people have the ability, resources, and freedom to make their own histories.”
It’s like an analog version of the Afrolicious project, and we absolutely love it!
Last week they released a pair of stamps honoring local Los Angeles Black history makers Samella Lewis, art historian, and Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter, founder and leader of the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party. Los Angeles has a rich history of the arts and social justice, especially in the Brown communities Lewis and Carter came out of. This is a great way to honor local leaders, and especially great since Samella Lewis celebrated her birthday earlier this week!
Our friends at the Southern California Library ask that you “celebrate Black history by sharing these stamps with others as we honor local L.A. community leaders who made history themselves and inspired countless others along the way.”
This week’s Afrolicious Newsletter was sponsored by the Southern California Library Black History Stamps project. If you would like to sponsor an edition of Fresssssh Weekly, get in touch with us today.
