Congrats to Ariell R. Johnson for opening @amalgamphilly the first Black female owned comic book store ON THE EAST COAST in Philadelphia, PA. The shop has comics, coffee, book signings and TV/movie nights. What better way to support indie comics and POC artists than BY SELLING THEIR WORK. The next time I’m in Philly, I will definitely be stopping by. THANK YOU ARIELL!!! Amalgam Comics and Coffee House 2578 Frankford Ave. Philidelphia PA 19125

DiverseArts Culture Works Artist Spotlight
Due to our current artist in residence, Beth Consetta Rubel’s, fast approaching closing ceremony (I can’t believe August 1st has already come so fast!) I thought I’d do a post dedicated to Consetta’s work.
While I enjoyed all of the pieces she has currently up on display here at the New East Arts Gallery – the scathing political commentary found within her portraits of President Obama and Trayvon Martin I found to be particularly powerful – I couldn’t help but be especially taken with her simpler pieces done with gouache and colored pencil on paper bags instead of regular canvas.
As someone who has had the privilege of never having to experience the “Paper Bag Test” firsthand I obviously cannot speak personally about this unfortunately common phenomenon, but the way in which Consetta’s portraits re-appropriate areas often denied to black folks due to racial profiling and celebrates the diversity of black bodies of all hues by using paper bags as canvases for her portraits really hit home.
Hopefully this post will encourage you to come by the gallery if you happen to be in town this weekend some time soon, so you’ll be able to see Consetta’s gorgeous artwork in person! : )
See her current show “Higher Learning: Educational Toys” at George Washington Carver Museum | 1165 Angelina Street, Austin, TX 78702
Beth Consetta Rubel is a visual artist based in Austin. She discusses her upbringing as a mixed race Black woman living in a conservative small Southern town in Texas, and how this informed both her identity and creative work. Rubel’s work focuses on the themes of race, gender, sexuality, and pop culture. This is evident in her current series, “The Paper Brown Test,” where she draws and paints portraits of Black subjects—many of them well-known Black celebrities and public figures, such as President Barack Obama and Richard Pryor. In light of the recent cases of police brutality and state-sanctioned violence against Black men, women, and children, she’s also included portraits of Michael Brown and Aiyana Stanley Jones in the series.

Esther Afua Ocloo’s 98th birthday! #GoogleDoodle
Today’s Google Doodle honors Ghana’s Esther Afua Ocloo
“As both an entrepreneur and an advocate for microlending, “Auntie Ocloo” worked tirelessly to help others like her succeed. Esther Afua Ocloo had only six shillings to her name — less than a dollar — when she made and then sold her first jar of marmalade as a teenager in the 1930s.
Esther was determined to expand her livelihood of making marmalade and orange juice, but she needed a loan to increase production, and credit was hard to come by for women with little economic resources. It took persistence and a supply contract to secure the money to start her company, Nkulenu Industries.
After traveling to England to learn the latest techniques in food processing, Esther returned home and shared those skills with other Ghanaian women. Perhaps more importantly, she taught them everything she knew about starting and running a business, which put more money in their pockets. She made such an impact that in 1975 she was invited to the first U.N. World Conference on Women.
Esther and other advisors knew that lending money to women could have a ripple effect, improving the prosperity and health of the women as well as their communities. But because they lacked collateral, low-income women were often ignored by banks. So in 1979, Esther helped found and became Chairman of the Board of Directors of Women’s World Banking, which provides millions of low-income women with the small loans needed to reach their financial goals.
On what would have been her 98th birthday, today’s Doodle shows Esther empowering the women of Ghana with the tools to improve their lives and communities.”

Mahershala Ali gave an emotional Oscar speech.
“ In his speech he thanked his wife, Amatus Sami-Karim, who gave birth to their daughter four days before the ceremony. The award marks Ali’s first Oscar win and nomination, but it’s also the first time a Muslim actor has taken home an Academy Award. “
