Black Friday

Where on earth are you obtaining your information? It is no longer the past, therefore, many of you have inaccurate information which is equivalent to a bunch of lies. Please do not send me a bunch of lies. If I have not posted anything new, that means someone has provided you with speculations.

“Black Friday is a significant retail event that occurs annually, typically the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season, with retailers offering substantial discounts and promotions to attract consumers. The term "Black Friday" originally referred to the point at which retailers began to turn a profit, moving from being "in the red" to "in the black." This day has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, drawing millions of shoppers eager to take advantage of the deals available both in physical stores and online.

The shopping frenzy associated with Black Friday often leads to early opening hours for stores, with some even starting their sales on Thanksgiving evening. Consumers prepare for this day by researching deals, creating shopping lists, and sometimes even camping out overnight to secure the best bargains. The event has expanded beyond just one day, with many retailers extending their sales into the weekend and beyond, creating a multi-day shopping extravaganza that includes Cyber Monday, which focuses on online deals.

In recent years, Black Friday has faced criticism for promoting consumerism and leading to chaotic scenes in stores. However, it remains a crucial day for retailers, as it can significantly impact their annual sales figures. The rise of e-commerce has also transformed the way consumers engage with Black Friday, allowing for a more convenient shopping experience that can be done from the comfort of home. As a result, Black Friday continues to be a pivotal moment in the retail calendar, shaping shopping habits and influencing marketing strategies for businesses across various sectors.”

I do not need to wait for Black Friday as I am an African - American.

Simple White

  The necessity for acquiring whiteboards has diminished for me, as I ceased offering educational services back in 2018. Since that time, my focus has shifted entirely. I have been working on my branding and digital art where I utilize various digital applications to express my creativity. In this context, the color white serves a significant purpose, often representing simplicity and clarity in my artistic endeavors.    “The concept of Simple White embodies the essence of minimalism, where the purity of the color white acts as an open canvas for creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to flourish without the distractions of complexity. The color white encourages a harmonious balance between creativity and tranquility.”

Colorful Symbolism

I have no idea what discussions you are having because I am busy focusing on my branding, digital art and my services. The purpose of sharing my digital art that I have created has nothing to do with relationships nor friendships. It has to do with the experiences, symbolism behind the colors and the principles related to creating my digital art.  According to my research, “ deep dark red represents determination, warmth and depth, while crimson and red symbolizes courage and creativity.”
