"sankofa bird" teaches us that we must reach back and gather the best of what our past teaches us, so we can move forward. I am an Artist/Photographer, showing all of the things in art, culture, and life in general that fascinate me, along with my own body of work of course...ENJOY.

Oh man. The Sylvers family as a whole are all so talented and have been a musical force since at least 1958/9, but I always liked Foster’s song “Misdemeanor” (1973) the best. I probably listen to it at least once a week. RIP to a legend.

Rest in Peace, Jason Collins ❤️‍🩹 he was the first openly gay active player in the NBA.

one of my favourite anecdotes about him was the story of why he wore jersey number #98 — he was encouraged to come out in college but wasn't ready to yet. while he was too scared at the time, he wore #98 in honour of Matt Shepard, who passed in 1998 due to an anti-gay hatecrime. it's also the same year The Trevor Project was founded.

his connection and his support to his community despite not yet being ready... ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
