Yesterday was a loooooooong week but I feel fantastic having accomplished everything I needed to attend to (outside of phone calls and eulogy writing)… As I sit enjoying the remainder of this Portuguese layover, I thought to share the beginning of my latest art project, the cart outside of #DailyPressCoffeeHouse ! Something inside me wouldn’t let me get on the plane till I claimed my space by beginning it. I let my spirit lead me and this is where we are now.. inspired by the tulips my neighbors in #CrownHeights grew in their front gardens when I was a kid. Inspired by #Brooklyn of then and now.: I got to thinking about how in order for a garden to grow to be beautiful and luscious, it must be tended to regularly. I feel like people and out relationships are the same. We only receive what we give to it. So let’s give our best and see what happens! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 When I get back I’ll finish it up with the detailing and quotes of my artist dreams. Till then, I hope you like it… #gobrooklyn #artlife #muralart #movingup #elevate #evolve #evolution #communityart #unity #garden #gratitude #grace #tendtoyourgarden #ifyouloveitdoiteveryday (at Bedstuy Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXcru_sqcH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#TheGodIsWriting a new poem in this humble instant In this moment when and where I am square to everything and everyone around me… Apparently Yesterday (when all my troubles seemed so far away) I was picture perfect model of #BlackGirlMagic ; Despite my current life challenges, ME With my flower crown and camo jacket I balanced all that tries to hijack my Black in this ALL-Americana U.S. of A. Everywhere I went across #doubleshifts I was loved and accepted, despite being the unexpected aspects of Black RN I am caught up in whirl wind of grief … of disbelief I am A living recalibration of understanding In a world that is consistent in its willingness to not see, over or under estimate ME #StillIRise (@mayaangelouofflcial #vibez) in all the glory of this Black. ME Is good Is enough Is #not responsible if you can’t handle it ME! Yes! ME is loved. And here is the proof.. Thank you to the elder Asian folks that I encountered Saturday that admired me so much that they gave me a photo shoot in the @nyc_dot #SummerStreets Thank You to @kylegotfriends for capturing my enduring beauty at the end of a very long day doing all the things that I love! #ifyouloveitdoiteveryday #lastbutnotleast IWannaThankMe #SOTYL @snoopdogg #selfieoftheday for ya’ll who scroll to the end! 😘🥰 #artist #model #rolemodel #blackartists #balife #doyathing (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRax5uuDW4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loving how the universe responds to me when I’m down and feeling out… It says “hey here’s a gig to brighten your week” #todaysoffice was the 109st rest stop for #summerstreets2022. An afternoon filled with sunshine and amazing music from @newheightsbrassband @ltrainbrass @tiltedaxes and @fogoazulny !! #musicislife We happily got off early enough to switch it up & grab some #metime skating through the streets.. and @najiheals let me send a unique message of joy to my distant love… #followthem #theyaredope @dreamcastmcfly caught me dancing on the job… but you know the motto #ifyouloveitdoiteveryday #artlife #brandambassadors #nycartist #artlife #blackartistsbelike #ibetgeparty #nobaddays https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNXWmluHsu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#SorryNotSorry to interrupt your mindless scrolling but I came across this picture of my mama (who turned 70 this year!!) On my Facebook feed. So because I am slacking returning her calls (and everyone else’s these days), I thought to just post and brag on her a little bit. I promise I wouldn’t be getting through this transition without her. Even though she’s 3 thousand miles away, she makes all the time for me that I demand. She answers my calls and let’s me cry shamelessly. Sometimes she even cried with me. And it warms my heart to be able to witness the love we share for my father. In those moments, I realize how privileged I am to to be the product of single parent households but to have also witnessed the live that made me, in my lifetime between the people that made me. I’ll always admit two things about my mom. 1. Our relationship has always been, and will always be, complicated. [as is the case with all mothers and daughters] AND [#ALWAYSAND ] 2. She is my rock. My everything. My dad was my best friend but my mom is like my big sister bestie. Like she holds a list piece of my heart.. and I am so grateful for everything she has and keeps doing for me and my children.. for this family .. #pointis she is who I wanted to be when I grew up.. and she still is cause: My mama 70 years young yall!! I should be so blessed to still be looking & sounding as great as she still does. #internationaldiva #richauntieorigins All I ask with this post is for y’all to love up on my mama. A #livinglegend that taught me how to balance this crown. #grieving #thegodiswriting #transitions #patronizeme #mama #ilovwmymama #youlovemymama #igetitfrommymama #musicalbloodlines #legacy #keys #artlifelegacy #artlife #ifyouloveitdoiteveryday #RIPPatrickAdams #discoprincessdiaries (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQviOfMLTO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Repost from @radicalblackjoi • I find it interesting how every funeral I’ve attended since the year covid began spreading in the East, the days always begin in this same way: bleak and overcast.. we gather despite the doom and gloom of our sorrows reflected around us. We hug one another. Muster all the love left behind, mix it together with memories of times long passed.. and we smile… and suddenly the sun is shining. The warmth of its rays holding us tighter than the embrace of our loved one we came together to celebrate. It is in these moments that we can acknowledge the resilience and fortitude that has let us be so blessed to still be alive. To hold one another while we can. To pull one another back from the edge of dispair, in whatever form it comes in. It is us, our unrelenting love for each other, that keeps us alive. So Hold on to someone today, even for just a moment. Let’s keep keeping us alive! ❤️🖤❤️🖤🖤#itsjustusagainsttheworld #community #family #homegoings #blackfamilylove #ritual #death #life #rememberwhen #honoringtheirsacrifice #ancestors - # #thegodiswriting #journaling #blackwriters #blackpoets #poetsofinstagram #polymath #infinitethreat #love #artlife #ifyouloveitdoiteveryday #BLAHVol3 #comingsoon #lifeasart #writefromwrongs #growth #howiseeit #blacklife https://www.instagram.com/p/CSN0zV1DxJy/?utm_medium=tumblr
