Nobody's Darling

Be nobody's darling;/Be an outcast./ Take the contradictions/Of your life/ And wrap around/You like a shawl, To parry stones/ To keep you warm.

giving thanks for a year of firsts 🌟 The Lifetime movie #lovebythe10thdate premiered in January and featured my work all up in it (Massive love to director @nzingbling for believing in my work for this project!), my first US based solo exhibition opened in June at @viragogallery in Seattle (incredible love to Tracy for welcoming me into her space and to @iamrezina for spearheading the publication of the Matters of Inheritance collectors book which featured writings from phenomenal women of colour). Give thanks for the doors opened ♡ I collaborated with Scotiabank Trinidad and Tobago for their Women Against Breast Cancer 5K - a huge honour. I got to see my work as the face of the Festival International de Film Insulaire du Groix in Brittany, France. A Vetiver Night Woman is on the cover of Eve Ewing’s stellar collection Electric Arches. And so many other things I didn’t think I’d ever do. I’m not sure I know how to feel. But I do feel overwhelmingly humbled and grateful. It’s been a sobering year for so many reasons - a year or revelation and refined clarity.

Thank you to the people who stood by me, believed in me, encouraged me - blessings and light to you! Looking forward! . . . . #eveEwing #lovebythe10thdate #mattersofinheritance #shawnthwaites #vetivernightwomen #fifig #everystrideempowers #ElectricArches

Mantak Chia - Microcosmic Orbit Meditation, “Taoist Secrets of Love”, 1984. By learning to tap the natural energies of the Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars and environmental forces around us, the practitioner attains the ability to develop and nurture a solid spiritual body. The ultimate goal of Taoist practice is to transcend physical boundaries through the development of the soul and the spirit within man.
