What Melanin/Melanina means to Me!!!!

Black People Tan?

The Sun and your skin. Get to know it. The two are one in the same.
 Protect your skin from the sun by not putting anything on it. If you have Melanin, you don't  need any form of "Sun screen" because your skin is naturally equipped with this. When your skin has enough sun, the body natural clock will convert the heat transmitting.

Black people get a instant tan when in the presents of the Sun, this is why, usually, when people have Melanin, a protective pigment, they don't burn after long or short periods in the sun.

What makes Black or other Melanic People resistant to the Sun?

People of Color: The Melanin Race

I have always, always had a problem with racial classifications. How can you possibly classify race? How can one with the same hair texture, same skin complexion, semi-features be classified under one or the other race?

Many people say there is no such thing as the "His panic" Race. No? Well if this isn't so, then how come his panics are in a separate category than let's say the white race or the black race?

We have all heard if it walks like a duck, talks like one, it is one right?

So, if someone has brown skin, is moreno"brown" or have darker pigment but is His panic, what race is this person? Surprisingly, on the census this person would be categorized as a Caucasian. 

Melanistic Animals but what about the Melanistic People?

When I first started doing Melanic Tees, I would do a search for Melanic or Melanistic and Animals with Melanism would always come up. Never People, never black people, never brown or "his panic/latino", never people of color who have Melanin. I don't know why this is. You would think the people would come up who have Melanin, don't you think? If animals come up there is no reason people wouldn't come up. Everyone needs to know about Melanin, what is Melanin,  why melanin is important, who has it, who doesn't it, what does it do, is it good for you, is it bad if you have too much or not enough.

Hopefully when you do a search a few  years from now for MELANIN, I hope you find what Melanin is on MelanicTees!

Express yourself!

I am NOT my Hair | Say huh? Yes, you Are!

I was surprised wen India Arie opened up her mouth to sing:
"I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no".

Because you are your hair and you are your skin. I don't really know what she meant exactly or even personally but these two things you are because of these two, hair and skin, you are you and these are what defend you despite expectations. I would expect you to say these are you since these are exhibits of your Melanin.

Melancholy, Melanin & Supremacy

You often here of White Supremacy; but in all aspects, You, a person of color, are the ultimate Supreme. Why are you the Supreme? Because Melanin is the true rhythm of the beat... the vital source that keeps the body in to it, so to speak. Because of Melanin and the Sun unity there is sound, strength, built, spirit, dance, vibration, movement and more... Why Mela in Melancholy if Melancholy means dark not as in Melanin but as in negative, gloomy, depressive in a deep long lasting sadness and sorrow?? 

In the Hue WO/man body Melanin activates people prime source being the Sun - LIGHT from it's rays of Energy.  It is the total opposite of what the origin of The root word for Melanin is in Melancholy. Why the root word in Melanin in Melancholy? [Melan=Melanin=Color=Black/Brown - the dark as in the dark skin of people of color and that is the explanation as to why.] Because the difference is it's not gloomy, MELANIN glows! It's not sad, people of color dance and laugh despite the struggle. We celebrate, live life under the sun and rain dance also. Melancholy shouldn't be associated to anything Melanic because Melanin is actually light activated by the Supreme Source of Energy, the Sun. Why Melanic, Melaninated, Melanical, Melanistic Supreme being of all The Earth Queendom be associated then with Sadistic??

To think about in this Eagle World of ours!

mel·an·chol·y  

 

/ˈmelənˌkälē/

Noun A deep, pensive, and long-lasting sadness.

Adjective Sad, gloomy, or depressed.

Synonyms noun.   sadness - melancholia - gloom - sorrow - dejection adjective.   sad - gloomy - melancholic - mournful - dismal - blue by google

Sun=Light=Energy=Transmitted. Get it?

Melanin source is the sun. 

Although, people of color already have the gland, pineal glands, that naturally darkens the Skin with Vitamins it only gets activated through the Sun. Sun=Light=Energy=Transmitted. Get it? 

That's why it is very important to get natural sun light everyday especially if you are a Natural Hueman being. The darker your skin is the closes to 100% Melanination you are! That's a beautiful thing! 2pac "the darker the berry" - - the deeper the roots! was symbolizing this, Melanin.
Melanin doesn't stop there neither. Melanin also plays a portion in your eye sight and color. The healthier your Melanin production is the better your eye sight is and the clearer your color and  hair color and texture, creative and physical abilities. Basketball is a brain functioning power. Almost like being a physic depending on your energy to get your brain to transmit the power of it to the ball and into the basketball. 

Melanin is part of the brain and without Melanin your brain wouldn't function properly. How much do you know about Melanin? Wouldn't you want to know what makes your brown or why your curls are spirals and why her hair has tight curls and why her hair is thick and into a nice shape afro? Or you ever wonder why your complexion is high yellow while hers is caramel? Never thought why whites have blonde hair and blue eye, generally, and people of color range in shades of brown and hair varies? I read a bold statement today that said Sun really doesn't play any part in our life. What a bold face lie and one you should never believe if you are a person of color. The Sun to you means everything. Without the sun you wouldn't grow and the world would be a life less and cold place without any growth of anything. Plant or hueman life couldn't and can't grow without the Sun. The Sun rises and resurrects much like you do every day and night. This pattern is universal and purposeful in life. Without the other there would be none. Melanin is who you are.

More on Melanin..

Melanin is what contributes to the variations of skin tones. Whether red, "yellow", brown and black - all these shades of brown are attributes of Melanin. In the summer, you get natural shades of brown, skin sun kissed because during the summer the Sun is at it's highest peak giving all the Sun people that Xtra love. Similar to a Bear when it eats, Black and Melanical People can almost hibernate for 6 months without any (if worse came to this imagining) Sun aka source of Energy.

Melanin stores energy in the largest organ in your body, the Skin. Melanin protects your skin from dangerous toxins that can suppress your immune system.

You have whites and non whites, people of color because of it's source of light=energy=hue matter.

Even though, people of color are categorized by  Nationalities and diluted racial separation we maybe shouldn't continue this practice, of racial classifications. In fact, you shouldn't from this day forward classify yourself with nothing else but what is your Maker, Melanin. Instead be classified and identified with your Scientifically term, Melanin [People]. Melanin lives amongst all people of color, and dark Caucasians - Italians, Greeks, The Portuguese, the Spanish, etc - despite regions and country distances. Melanin is what is the root of all the branches in the family tree of life. It's cos of Melanin you live.

Health&Beauty | The 2 S's in Life you need to stick by

The 2 S's in your life that you need for good Health & Beauty are:

• SUN &
• SLEEP

You don't need anything man made or antibiotics. You don't need to go get a shot or an Implant of anything un natural to your Natural Body. If you didn't know, Doctors have a quota much like Salesman and Insurance Reps. If you have a headache or pain - Sleep. If you can't sleep or feeling unsettled like you are coming down with a cold or some kind of virus, Get SUN then SLEEP.

Why SUN?
If you are Melanic, a person of color, You forever need the Sun because you are one + Sun People by Nature. Sun doesn't only add color to your Skin but it also protects your outer and inner by being a natural protector to any impurities or environmental toxins in the air. Vaccines make you "Immune".. (Think bout this).
Why Sleep?
You need Sleep because although, they don't share -- Sleep is the best healer!

Best of all.... The two S's also are FREE. As the old saying goes,
"The best things in life are FREE".

The Fundamental Phenomenon of Melanin

The Fundamental Phenomenon of Melanin don't except too much to be told about. They may not tell you how Melanin lives outside of Melanesia because of the fear of his panic that people will come into an formation of understanding that they share the same common root after all, Melanin. Different Branches, same Tree. Semi (similar like) in shades of brown like Soil & Oil. Why are you Brown? Same reason you are Black. Melanin is centered in the mid brain shaped the size of a Pea and Black. Outside of the country they have settles in Asia; Europe, blond hair is extremely rare. Why is this? Because everything has Melanin. Animals, butterflies, reptiles all have Melanin. Albino-ism in animals also is rare. All over the world, you will travel and meet the Indigenous People to be of Melanin Origin. Melanin pigmentation comes in Black, Brown, Red & Yellow. Colorful like the seasons and the rainbow.  

The Fundamental Phenomenon of Melanin don't except too much to be shared.

Circadian Rhythms | The Body Rhythmic Format

Do you know what AM and PM Stands for in time? 

Most likely, you don't. And that's OK I didn't either until I looked up what the acronym stood for. AM and PM is actually Latin. AM stands for Ante Meridian and PM stands for Post Meridiem or "Meridian" with time. Interesting Ain't it? Meridiem or Meridian is Latin for Afternoon. Ante suppose to mean Before but now it means "against or oppose". I'm not sure if AM suppose to mean before noon or if it means against Morning not sure.. but either way when you say these abbreviations you saying it in Latin.

The Clock was used by the Romans for "time" However The body goes by it's own time. Not even time, temperature - this is called Circadian [Cir-Cadian] Rhythms. When the Sun rises, the heat is beginning to "heat" up the body. Heat as in "Energy", Energize the body. This is why you are barely awakening in the Morning and get more energy throughout the day, usually by Mid-Morning. And naturally, as the day goes into the Night, our body prepares to go into REM. Wouldn't you rather want to go by this Rhythmical Natural Time instead of Man made hours? Why aren't we going by Natural time, like other Earthly Entities, instead of going by hours made up by estimating what time it was?
When I say other Earthly entities, I am meaning like Roosters and Birds for example. You ever notice how Birds wake up chirping, Roosters crowing by the rising of the Sun? Usually, more often then none, they also retire by the setting of the sun. Why are Humans not responding to life in this form?

Because we have a JOB? Because we have to work and be on a Schedule? This is Artificial Time. Not real. Circadian [Cir-Cadian] Rhythms. The body in the daytime [AM] increases energy and at night [PM] it produces. If we lived Nature as we should be, We would be getting up naturally with the rising of the sun. Not getting up by an Alarm that disturbs our Circadian Rhythms. Stress is the Number one killer in America and Stress also affects your CR [Circadian Rhythm]. Our CR's is essential responsive for our behavior. For instance, it affects us Mentally and Physically. If our CR is altered or disturbed we wake up with what? An Attitude! Still tired talking about you are not a Morning person because most likely, your sleep pattern is off and not on Natural CR time. Ever been so sleepy you can't keep your eyes open? This is an altered behavior because you are not One, so to speak, with your Natural time. It also affects a lot more, I'm sure, with time.

Love your Melanin, produce your Melatonin and get back on time with one.

One on 1 w. Melanic Tees Creator, Annae PR

Born & raised in South Central LA, 80's baby Annae at the age of 30 decided to create a platform that mission would be to empower Melanic people about their self awareness of who they are & the magnificence behind Melanin (which gives pigment to all natural things on planet earth). 

Annae at an early age, 11 she recalls, became inquisitive about the awareness of who she was & the lack of self knowledge that others had about themselves. The more she went on a quest to find herself, the more distant she found herself getting away from what we call "Modern Fashion".
 
"I try to self express with how I dress, the jewelry I wear and how I wear my hair. In essence, I feel this is my only expression of cultural identifying with who I really am. I am culturally different, my culture dresses different. I thought what I was wearing was assimilated enough. I wanted people to READ how I felt, certain expressions I wanted to not say verbally but expressively & I thought what other better way to self express than on a cute Tee that is designed accordingly to my liking. 

Melanic Tees, Melanic Products & Melanic Me, Indie & body ornaments are my babies! Watch em' grow w. me on this journey! Para hoy y siempre (For today & always)!" 
 
Los Angeles, CALI Native Annae Padilla aka Api creator of Melanic Tees Coolection will be debuting her New Tees for her Coolection of Cool, Feminine Tees featuring fluency, tribal designs and Indigenous patterns. Api says she was inspired to do a Tee line specifically for Women&girls of color because she feel there is a definite absence of Models Keen to Native, Indigenous Melaninated People. She goes on to say,"I am very conscious of the Fashion World that uses "tribal or native" designs for seasonal or recreational use. However, I think it's been forgotten that we are actual cultures that still exist now, today and always and I'm not really appreciating our prototype being used for seasonal fashion statements when in reality it is OUR cultural attire that we should have been exhibiting year round anyhow".

The First Tee used for Melanic Tees was the Curak (Cool Rock) Tee that simply offers the Creation Name - Melanic Tees Coolection. It is Melanic Tees stamp of recognition; simple, elegant and in font that eyes are drawn to. The Second Tee for Melanic Tees features a Native Female with Native Headdress and garment, featuring the Serpent, The Powerful Spiritual Metaphor. "This Tee is very sentimental to me while the creation of the design was unfolding. I wanted to make sure that people knew women&girls that look like me surpass just being "striking". We are Indigenous, keen to the Native people before any Colonizers Colonized us. It reads with assurance, "Here I am, Didn't Vanish".

The Newest Addition to Melanic Tees is the "Concrete Mela Jungle" Tee. "This Tee illustrates the Concrete Jungle that we, Melanic people have adapted to. The representation of the concrete pattern is the cities in which we live in with these colonized modern buildings that offer us unpleasant living conditions removing all our natural resources like the green of the grass, trees and overall land. On top of the design sets 5 Melanin Inspired words: Melanin, Melanic, Melanical, Melanintued and Melanistic. More to come; so, stay Melanintued". ....

Melanic Tees represents the women&girl that lives in Melanical Women: Strong, Cultural, Intriguing, exotic and grounded by any means. We showcase Self Expression Tees to exhibit Melanism while rockin' Cool, Feminine Tees. Melanic Tees is an Inventive offering new varieties of Tee's that are one of a kind and original. These tee's are the beginning of Evolutes creations that will inspire change and persevere who we are and who we forever will be: Melanic. These Tees are intended for Leaders and for Women&girls who are looking to do more than just wear clothing. These tees were created to be inspirational and to be a motivational reminder of who your keen was and how you are them today. Melanic tees will offer power through Self Expressions and designs that may be duplicated but Melanic Tee's will always be remembered for striving to Embody all of the Indigenous ways of life that we must maintain in our lifestyle, in fashion and in women&girls wear.

Who are you? .

Who are you & what do you reflect? How do you become the person you are? What inspires you to take chances & claim your Individualism? What makes you add hue to your face? The colors you choose for your eye shadow, lip color. The jewelry or accessories you wear. The clothing you dress in & the way you wear your hair. Who are you & what do you reflect? Is this mere our "personality" or is it much more than that? Does your "Individualism" represent an inner power, one that even systematically can't be controlled or dictated?

Your Self Expressional ways represents power.

That represents the power you have for self. The power you demand as you allow your inner creator to create your styles that reflects your outer. Who are you?

Melanic People and it's trait

 

When I first seen Crayola Multicultural Crayons names I had to ponder on it. The "diverse shades" of crayons and markers named after different skin shades didn't seem so bad since we do come in so many different hues. Some gave Crayola A for efforts in diversity while others considered it a fail attempt to ethnic sensitivity. 

What are skin tones? What is multicultural? What is having Melanin or being Melanic? Skin tones result in all races. The most versatile of those that have Melanin. Multicultural,. a person with different cultural backgrounds. Think Iranian and Mexican. This is someone who has more than one ethnicity. With culture comes a variety of cultural traits like cooking and food selections, dance and clothing style, way of speaking dialects.  

Melanic is someone who has Melanin & displays it. Melanic is someone who is happy with who & what they are despite their skin tones. In fact, they usually display it so effortlessly and unconsciously. Melanic, naturally talented. In dance, so rhythmic, rap/rhythm, artistic visuals, painters, performers, singers, etc. Those Melanic people are the ones who are naturally gifted, no training, classes or teachers needed to evolve their natural born talent. Those in the Hip Hop Community display illuminated gifts of exhibiting their Melanism. 

How you exhibit yourself? Tell it!

Why does it matter who designs Tees or Clothing in general?

It doesn't matter necessarily who are the designers of brands. But it matters when the owners of these brands have Melanic designers on board however, ads and spreads don't display that. Instead they show white "models" who are dressed in creative, "hip hop" or "urban" clothing and/or have Melanic characteristics (big coil curls, or enhanced lips and/or tanned Melanated skin). 

We are not the minority in Music nor in Fashion neither GLOBALLY in fact. Instead of trying to "find" that one brand, I decided Why not be that brand? 

Does it matter to you who cloth you wear? Do you wear the "label" or the "designer"? 

How would you know if what you wear is the "brand" because you have not met the designer (yet!)

Nice to meet you! 

Melanic Tees?

Melanic Tees is a Set of Cool Tees (Coolection) specifically designed for Melanic Women & Girls who appreciate and see the value in Self Expression & Cultural Awareness. MT's (Melanic Tees) is extraordinary paying gratitude and acknowledgment to the root of all creations: Melanin. 

Rest assure, These tees are not coming from "Brands" who pay people to design for it's company. It's coming from a group of people who look like you, think like you and is creative as you! Like 80's & 90's Hip Hop, Melanic Tees is more so of the goods in the message then for profit.
