This is something I’m extremely proud of. Thank you for asking me to write an essay about Community for the Richmond Now: Coloring Activity Book #RP @richmondnow2020 What is community? Check out this excerpt from BlackLiq and finish reading his essay on our blog. C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y By BlackLiq “One of the most overused words is “Community.” So much that a community itself becomes overused. I used to roll my eyes everytime someone would say “Your community could really use you Black.” There was a time where I felt I wasn’t part of Richmond’s community, though I worked so hard to make Richmond part of everything I do. I was “Drawing crowds. Building a crowd of Hip Hop artists. Activists. Entrepreneurs. Movers and shakers. People who didn’t feel accepted. People like me.” That’s the thing about being a MC though, you move crowds. “ Illustration by @seaplus_rlmoses . . . #rvacommunity #rva #richmondnow #richmondva #blackliq #rvahiphop (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXxaGb5LXYv/?utm_medium=tumblr
