"Art is my weapon in the ongoing battle against indifference and inaction" - Harmonis Rosales. Read more about this dope #afrolatinx artist on the website. Link in bio to see more of her work. We are getting ready to feature the next artist on residence at #thoughtscaughtinmyfro. Until then, enjoy some of the artists that have caught the eye of the world on the web.
Truthfully. It should never have been a hashtag. Don't get me wrong. I get it. Community and visual representation matter, especially when people around you can't or won't support you. Social media is the tool. But first and foremost - before all of that - it should have been difficult conversations with our mothers, daughters and sons. Quiet contemplation in the mirror. Poetry and media criticism. Tears on the shoulder of a best friend. Diary entries. Solo vacations. Meditation. Critical thought and public discussion. Policy and social change. Instead of doing the work first, its all before and after pictures, screenshots, misquotes, cliques, capsule collections, commodification, misrepresentation, a contest, a way to stand-out and fit-in. But this is where we are now. So we have to deal with it. What is the future of #bodypositivity? Where do we go from here? #thoughtscaughtinmyfro (at Houston, Texas)

Soft launch of the new website live at the link in my bio. Re-visit some of my OG posts from the #ShortandTailor days. Also, new post tomorrow on what the actions in #Syria this week mean for the people there. #thoughtscaughtinmyfro (at Houston, Texas)

" I think that the body positivity movement suffers the same dynamic which is that in its attempt to sort of become mainstream, mostly by a function of companies figuring out how to make it profitable and commodify it, it has become how do cis, straight white women not hate being a size 12. That myopic lens is apolitical and non-transformative. I tell people all the time in every workshop that I do, that I have very little concern about your individual self esteem and self confidence. Not that I don’t want that for you, but self esteem and self confidence unto itself doesn’t change the world. It actually sort of relies on the paradigm of individualism which is already a destructive force in our world." - Sonya Renee Taylor of @thebodyisnotanapology. Link to the rest of the interview with @bodyposproject on the #thoughtscaughtinmyfro Facebook page.
