Walking Dead: The Beautiful Romance of Rick & Michonne

During the Walking Dead's two-month mid-season hiatus, I always relish seeing articles regarding the show, so it warmed my heart to see one recounting the romance of two central characters, Rick and Michonne. As I've written on this blog previously, I adore this twosome, because, as a biracial person, it's been fantastic to watch a mixed-race couple embark upon a journey to become a highly endearing twosome. From what was a contentious first meeting to the moment a devastated Michonne watches her beloved meet what she believes to be his demise, Rick and Michonne developed a friendship which blossomed into a truly deep and joyful bond as they came to trust one another. After forming a family with Rick and his children, the late Carl and Carl's younger sister Judith, Michonne now carries on the Grimes legacy without the man she opened her heart to, leading her community while raising a pre-teen Judith and young son Rick Jr (RJ) that Rick left behind, thus further cementing her greatness and the lovely love that began one fine day years ago.

Ms. Markle's Sparkle

Earlier this week Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made a surprise non-official appearance at the British Fashion Awards. Her Royal Highness was at the event to honor Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller who designed the very elegant wedding gown she wore to marry her literal Prince Charming. Ms. Markle looked ethereal as she strutted onto the stage, lovingly cradling her growing baby bump as she gleefully presented Ms. Waight Keller gleefully presented an award to Ms. Waight Keller for Womenswear Designer of the Year. The Duchess' beautiful spirit shone through and she continues to grace us as she goes about her Royal duties and the work of bringing about crucial change in this volatile world.
