Introducing our inaugural Artist-in-Residence, aka Professional Black Girl in Residence: @YabaBlay 🎉
“Yaba’s brilliance is unmatched. She has spent her life dedicated to centering and celebrating Black women and girls in all their power, joy, and everyday genius. She’s also a very dear friend, which makes this moment even more special. At Most Incredible Studio, our mission is to make memory tangible, and I’m elated that together we get to bring elements from our culture into form in a way that people can play with, build, and remember.” - @SyreetaGates Founder of Most Incredible Studio
Dr. Yaba Blay is the visionary behind @professionalblackgirl, a platform that has spent years documenting and celebrating the genius of Black women and girls. She's a scholar, cultural architect, and someone who deeply understands the power of storytelling. Together with Yaba, we're bringing culture into form, creating cultural artifacts that honor our stories, our style, and our contributions.
This is the first of many collaborations through our Artist-in-Residence program. And we couldn't think of a better person to kick it off.
Welcome to the set, Dr. Blay. Let's build something that's indeed the most incredible. ✨

yabablay I am most honored to announce that I am the Inaugural Artist-In-Residence at @mostincrediblestudio.
What's that mean, Yaba? Did you know that there's a whole community of #BlackGirls WhoLEGO?! Me either! When my girl, syreetagates, Founder of Most Incredible Studio, was a contestant on LEGO Masters, I thought she was the only one. But nope - sistas out here doing it!
So when Syreeta told me she wanted to infuse Black girl culture into the world of LEGO, I told her I was going to be the one to do it! Yes, I bullied my way into the door. I had to!
Most Incredible Studio has already collaborated with @blackarchives.co and @becauseofthem. Now it's @professionalblackgirl 's turn.
I cannot wait for y'all to see what we got coming for US.
Very Black. Very Professional
