Archive | Self-portrait: ‘Butterfly’ (2014) LISTEN: I just snuck back, posting on Tumblr like I never left. Let’s see: crawling out of work and digital detox has been something else the past two weeks. I have had to enter my password three times, some passwords I forgot entirely!!!

I made a promise to myself last year that once I completed my degrees last May, I would head back to Nigeria and stay the longest I ever have stayed since leaving nearly 18 years ago.

I’m happy to share with you all that I just concluded a nearly 5-month trip back Home in Nigeria. The most fond moment yet, is getting to spend my birthday here for the first time since 1999 along with plenty other wonderful memories. My birthday fell on my literal birthday: Wednesday, Nov 8th.

I am reminded of this self-portrait and my commitment to transition(s) and transformation. Especially, how it pours into and guides my work. I am grateful to have mindfully and intently achieved my current mindscape, and I look forward to unfolding, accordingly.

Well. New year and works to share. And, of course some great news!!!!!! So I want to say: thank you to those who looked for me, and those who are SO patient with me (and my process).

“Corporations supporting things like BLM and Pride is largely performative and shouldn’t be overly praised or focused on. They’re just trying to do what they think will earn them money” and “Corporations openly showing support for things like BLM and Pride are incredibly important” and not mutually exclusive ideas.

Corporation support is not the source of social change, it’s the visible indication of it. A mall covered in rainbow flags with ‘pride month sales!’ is nothing that makes LGBT people more accepted, nor do tweets from companies about supporting the BLM protests do anything to stop police violence, but they DO show the shift in public mindset. Corporations don’t take risks. They don’t make bold statements that they feel are unpopular or will lose them money or support. They’re a litmus test for when a statement or symbol that has been taboo becomes a commonly held belief. 

When a corporation makes these kinds of statements, it means that the people out there fighting every day for these movements are having an effect. Their fight is causing a change in social perception to the point where businesses who carefully choose every single thing they say can post about solidarity with protesters and feel confidant that they are saying something that represents the feelings and beliefs of the majority. A mall being covered in Pride flags is a sign that the country will accept a mall filled with Pride flags. That those working to make social and cultural change are succeeding.

With many POC asking what is different about THIS time, let it be known that finally, finally, finally, more people are coming together and committing to being on the same page.

This woman’s images resonate with me so deeply. They have the ability to transport me back in time. To a simpler time? Not so much. But, to a time when my family was minimally divided.
