"I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else."

Rest in Power.

#FREEWESTPAPUA I stand in solidarity and support their efforts for self determination!✊🏾🖤. Dec 1st is global flag raising day to bring attention to the ongoing genocide in West Papua which is being committed by the Indonesian government. The indigenous ppls of West Papua are very courageous & have made great strides in their grassroots movements. that said, the support from those of us in the international community is VITAL. - — freewestpapua.org is great resource for info on ways to donate and support👍🏾 if anyone else has suggestions, please share. i appreciate it 🖤 - #FreeWestPapua #PapuaMerdeka #GlobalFlagRaising #BlackGirlMagic #TakeAction #FreedomFridays #Digitalillustration #Procreate #Blacksolidarity #Melanesian #Endthegenocide #BacktheSwim #Liberation #PNG #CitizensoftheWorld - — umm so also is anti blackness as pervasive on the other planets as it is on earth cuz I mean gatt damn 🧐

Hi, I will be holding my very first solo exhibition: The Goddess Next Door. I started in 2k15, and have been werkking on some new interpretations. This ongoing series is a reclamation & celebration of the Divine Feminine through illustrating various Goddess archetypes as contemporary human incarnations. My depictions draw symbolism from the cultures and attributes associated with each Goddess.

 I will have art available for purchase as prints and cellphone cases. This event is free, and you're more than welcome to bring guests. If you're in the DMV definitely stop by🤗

concept: an alternate timeline where offerings are sent to Mami Wata & the Nommos and they join energies to replace all lead pipes in Flint, MI by 2017 & not 2020😶😶. Their 2nd collab after strengthening the levees in New Orleans, LA circa 2004😶😶-- - #waterislife #MamiWata #Nommos #Dogon #AfricanDiaspora #timetravelthurs #flintwatercrisis #environmentalracism #illustration #ancestraltraditions #BlackGirlMagic #commentary

Not sure if any of you have seen this but the whole story is breaking my heart.

Regardless of what someone looks like they are entitled to feel good about themselves. She is allowed to go to prom and feel like a princess. She looks amazing and her dress is the bomb.

I’m so angry at the internet today.

If you don’t have something nice to say, then keep your fucking mouth shut.

Thandi & Niambi of OSHUN (musical  duo) these beauties are super talented and so sweet!

Earlier this month they released their video for ‘Protect Yourself’ ft Proda. I had the opportunity of being a dancer in this video, & it was such a fun project. Great energy & I met a bunch of awesome people. Check out the vid & their music cuz I think you’ll love it!;)
