Happy Black History Month
Here is a current moment in black history!
The Vet Life
Have you seen the show “THE VET LIFE” ? Anyone who knows me – knows that I love watching tv. I enjoy reading books, and learning, and all that jazz but I enjoy tv too! I want to introduce you to this show.
The Vet Life- This show follows three doctors:
Dr. Diarra Blue
Dr. Aubrey Ross
Dr. Michael Lavinge
These three doctors all recently moved to Houston, Texas. They built their strong bond while at Tuskegee University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. They have opened a full-service veterinarian hospital and animal shelter together. How cool is that? So cool!
This show captures their personal and professional lives.
There are currently six seasons of this show and you should be able to find this show on The Animal Planet.

I was so excited to learn about this show. It is so great to see #blackexcellence this way. Families can see many options of careers for their kids on tv and I just love for kids to see the plethora of options that are available to them. Check out this show and let me know your thoughts!
It’s a 2n1 – THE VET LIFE & TUSKEGEE UNIVERISTY
Tuskegee University
Since the doctors of The Vet Life build their bond at Tuskegee I wanted to share with you about this HBCU!
First … Tuskegee is having a Virtual Open House on FEB 20 @10:00 AM CST!

They are also having a 2021 Black History Month Lecture Series – it ends on February 26. The school’s website says that all the events are virtual and accessible through zoom! Check out their homepage and click “Click Here for more information” if you are interested.
Something very cool to note about Tuskgee Univeristy is that it was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark in April of 1966 and it is the only black college to be designated a National Historic Site in October of 1974.
The school was founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881 and it is a superb university for higher learning. The campus has a monument which honors the founder and you can find his home on the campus. There is also The George Washington Carver Museum on the campus which is named for and after Gorge Washington Carver who worked on the campus. You will also find The Tuskegee Airmen’s Plaza (The Tuskegee Airmen- another great moment in black history) – which honors and celebrates the work of America’s first black pilots who were trained at Tuskegee University. There is so much history on this campus. It is rich in culture, history, legacy, and education!

If you like movies and want to learn more about The Tuskegee Airmen – you can watch the movie RED TAILS. This movie came out in 2012 and it documents what these black pilots had to deal with as they were called to duty during WW2. The tails of their planes were painted red for identification purposes – this is where the name Red Tails came from.

I really hope you enjoyed this 2n1 post about THE VET LIFE & TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY! I am looking forward to the rest of this months #BHM posts!

FEARLESS in SHANGHAI 
I completely love this entire show!! I have learned so much about animals watching these guys who have a true love for animals and I have even found a new respect for the animal kingdom! And then to watch as they interact and grow as a family shows me what a real community looks like. I am so sad I have burned through all six seasons but I do wish them continued success! Teaching, treating and even going back to their alma mater to speak and do instruction is so dope and not nearly publicized enough!! If you or someone you know loves animals I would strongly encourage you to check out these guys!
