custom diptych, moss & oak, 14x48.
whether intentional at first or not, i feel these pieces are inspired by the rolling & rocky landscape of home in the blue ridge mountains.

olu is one of those people you meet and just immediately see the light within. we met eight years ago, while he was a student at UIC. he had just dropped the first @prgrssn line - Black Women Are The Future. watching his fashion, his art, his activism grow over the past several years has been a real treasure to witness. this weekend olu leaves chicago for the first time, and i know this city will feel that loss, but new york is gaining a real special talent, and i can’t wait to see it explode even brighter.
no human is illegal on stolen land.
witness the vast resources they’ll commit to terrorize and imprison people, but not feed or house them. history is watching us in disgust - future generations will ask how we allowed this to happen.
families belong together. stand and fight for your neighbors, for the most basic human right to exist. take to the streets, speak with your wallet, donate your time, call your elected officials. fight how you’re able to - silence is complicity.
abolish ICE, chinga la migra, we keep us safe.
** faces blurred for safety, except my new friend in slide four, with permission. at 77 years old, she has been marching since the ‘60s.
a few months ago, i made a music video with one of my favorite people in the world, @indigofaraway - we put a lotta work into it, but sometimes the world has different plans and that’s okay! i’m still so proud of this project, and so happy that i get to share a few snippets with y’all ❤️
“Heartthrob” is out now, from her upcoming album “Precipice”! go listen & presave!
