The Body Eccentric

Originality is not what I strive for almost everything I do is inspired by other people, places, and things. But what I do strive for is authenticity, there is truth, sincerity and devotion in everything that I do. With that being said I bring you....The Body Eccentric. /my other blog: http://muse2apharaoh.tumblr.com/

Another favorite from the Baker Artist Awards is the work of Linda Day Clark. If you would like to see some great photographic work in Baltimore, you should definitely check out her nomination on the BAA page. She has a website as well with even more images and information about her career.

“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?”

- Malcolm X, 1962

Mind you my skirt was actually a Disney blanket and my too was a mini poncho. And the Tailspin glasses with the 101 Dalmatian purse. I miss being a kid. (Taken with Instagram)

Peggielene Bartels, A.K.A. King Peggy, is currently the King of Otuam, Ghana. She was chosen to be one of only three female kings in Ghana, and when she discovered that male chauvinists wanted her to only be a figurehead, she said: “They were treating me like I am a second-class citizen because I am a woman. I said, ‘Hell no, you’re not going to do this to a woman!’” When she encountered corruption and the threat of embezzlement to the royal funds, she declared “I’m going to squeeze their balls so hard their eyes pop!”

King Peggy has maintained her work in Ghana’s embassy in Washington, D.C. while making education affordable in Otuam, installing borehead wells to produce clean drinking water, enforcing incarceration laws to deal with domestic violence, replenishing the royal coffers by taxing Otuam’s fishing industry to improve life in the village, and appointing three women to her council.

“Nobody should tell you, ‘You’re a woman, you can’t do it,’” she insists. “You can do it. Be ready to accept it when the calling comes.”

Dear White People (2012)

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular “African American” themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in “post-racial” America while weaving a universal story of forging one’s unique path in the world.
