A couple days ago we joined in on the effort in helping creatives who just so happen to be black or people of color. As a brand that is primarily Minority & LGBT+ owned, this resonated with us deeply and wanted to elevate the work and voices of the creatives that started this initiative and those who are involved. In addition to this, there was a post that @jordant.robinson and a friend of his came across that we think is important to share to help clarify the context as to why initiatives like these matter, why are they gaining an awareness, and why they are such a big deal. Please remember, the things that we see, think, and believe don’t always apply to others and that our worlds, no matter how different they may be, they are real, they are valid, and there is a limit to which they apply objectively. #jtrpresents #diversity #designforgood #art #artistsoninstagram #createforgood (at North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZ5lL9pk3J/?igshid=1gp6kf1nug9n2

Almost four yeas ago, I was finishing up undergrad and felt lost, voiceless; as if everything I did seemed pointless. A time I saw everyone’s voice develop and speak through their work. I kept pushing in several directions only to see that I was still at the starting point. In truth my skills were growing, but somehow I lost faith in myself and that everything I aimed for were genuine but felt fake. The work I did for my pleasure were fun but I forced myself to make work for others because I thought “good work serves others” at the same time, I was going through a reself-examination and identifying what my identity was/is. After years, of thinking, drawing, making, and sharing, I I have more faith in myself, despite my existing imposter syndrome, that I am what I say I am and what I intend regardless of how I show up, although I continue to seek to be mindful of how I show up. This piece I did for myself those years back to visually express and try to structure, the concept of identity, specifically three things (what I see, what others see, and what I Am) based on surveys, I compiled layers to visualize the layers of identity. I am building on this, along with other works for myself first, and pray that they help others in some way or another. This is my NY Resolution. This is my focus as an artist. This is, for now, my purpose. Happy Kwanzaa! Day of: #purpose #kwanzaa #jtrpresents #jordantrobinson
