Today we visited an art exhibition in London. It’s a (dry?) colorful mist room & it felt like being inside a rainbow

Also, some Monday morning commentary. After years and years of being a minority in so many countless spaces, especially certain musical communities, is it sooo hard for that same community to stick around in a rare moment, and space where they are then the minority. (Unless of course, it’s a space celebrating black culture amongst black peoples, yet not created or owned by black people) The extra kicker, is when it is countered with “We’re all going here (here meaning, another space where u will be the minority) , meet us after when your done with this” (this meaning, the space where we are the minority) .

It truly makes me have this face 👆🏾 lol

And one mo of @mstinalawson because she left the blueprint. Strong, smart, free, independent, humble, generous, graceful, kind, hard working, creative, funny and most importantly LOVING. Always showed us the power in having a vision. Grew up with not much at all, 6 sisters and brothers in a 2 bedroom house. Didn’t have a degree, but ALWAYS the smartest sharpest woman in the room. Started a business in her garage and turned it into a lil empire, a space for women to feel empowered and beautiful. My sisters and I had a spare room in the salon, because you refused to have someone else raising us. Came to work with you every day and got to see the power of having a vision and working hard as hell to see it come to life. Had such an incredible tribe of women (Vernell, Cheryl, Angie,) around also showing us the power of being loving, hardworking, graceful women and mothers. Always gave us freedom and learned that me and my sisters were all different and had different needs, so took us to 3 different schools every day. Let me wear my crazy ass outfits and loud tap shoes to places, when I know sometimes people told you you should make me change. Let me blast my crazy music when I know sometimes you just wanted a quiet house. When I wanted to start petitions, or speak to the principle about issues, you were always right beside me. When I wanted to shoot a video in South Africa and didn’t have a budget, you were right there with me being the assistant, assistant, director and let me use alllll your miles for plane tickets. All of that only for me to grow up and hear stories and find out I was just being a little Tina, lol. I didn’t even mean to write this all, I’ve already talked to you twice but daaaaaaaaannng Tina, back at it again with the bomb bomb mommy hood.
