Seattle has some problems. Here's one. This is a collaborative piece with Joy Von Spain. Her idea, my execution. #blacklivesmatter #defundthepolice #deescalatedontkill #garbagemayor #gassyjenny #jennydurkan #parody #donttrustpoliticians #gasmask #donttrustthegovernment #maceintheface https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWQ7L8JH-a/?igshid=1mhejxvjbnk3h

World Premiere: Esperanza Spalding's 'Unconditional Love'

BET Soul premieres Esperanza Spalding's "Unconditional Love" video.

“We could change the whole story of love...No more acting these predictable roles, Just us living unconditional love.”

Some people may need to hear this message in lieu of all of the negative events happening worldwide. 

The sooner we focus on connecting through our shared experiences of loss, pain and love, the sooner we may grow together and heal.

These are my brothers, the only siblings I’ve ever had and will ever have. To the left is my older brother, Jayce, 28, and to the right is my youngest, Rich, 17. Both are harmless, wise, passionate, talented, and character enriched individuals. They are lovers of their families and have always been devoted to being who they are and the best that they can be. Jayce currently has a warrant out for his arrest (I’m not clear on charges) in Houston, Texas, and Rich is a student athlete who is living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My anxiety has never been as evident as it is now, and I don’t necessarily have words to form why it is but please, pray for your black brothers, cousins, fathers, uncles, friends, husbands and boyfriends. No matter where they are, let a prayer for the sparing of their lives be an essential part of your everyday life. My mother is going through emotional and mental turmoil because she hasn’t heard from my oldest brother and because she just doesn’t know what could happen to my younger brother with everything that’s happening in Baton Rouge. I don’t say any of this to ask for sympathy, but to ask for awareness and prayer not only for my brothers but your own and those of others.
