I can’t think of a more fitting way to invoke Audre Lorde on her 80th than thinking about her work, her words as medicine. Concoctions and elixirs. Powerful medicine that we need at this moment in light of the major paradoxes that continue to govern our lives…

M. Jacqui Alexander, ”Medicines for Our Survival: The Continuation of the Life of Audre Lorde”

On the occasion of her 80th birthday.

Xhosa Names & Meanings: The “ABC’s of Xhosa Names” by Thandiwe Tshabalala.

South African Illustrator and incredibly talented young creative Thandiwe Tshabalala recently sent me these awesome gifs highlighting and celebrating beautiful names in her mother tongue of Xhosa.

Here’s what she had to say about her series:

"Way back, when apartheid was taking place in South Africa, parents used to give their kids English names so that white people wouldn’t have to struggle pronouncing African names. Most people born during the times of apartheid were given names like: Knowledge, Margaret, Mavis (which has negative connotations), Innocentia, Innocent, Jeffrey, Gloria…eek..Let me just stop there. However, when black folks got their ‘freedom’ back, they went back to naming their children African/South African names."
