❤🎉📚🎶 #ArtIsAWeapon The launch event for @joanmorgan's new book "She Begat This: 20 Years of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" was a gorgeous gathering and #celebration of Black creativity, beauty and brilliance! (Swipe ⬅️). We reminisced, reflected, testified and laughed during the interactive discussion about the impact @ms_laurynhill's "Miseducation" album made on our lives from its release two decades ago until now. And then we danced! The panelists @fiyawata, @kiernamayo and @michaelaangelad and moderator @emilwilbekin were a dream team of Black culture champions. Thank you Joan for bringing so many smart, fly, divine Black women (and men) together, and @missaliciaboone for curating this fantastic event. It was so good to hug our @professionalblackgirl founder #DrYabaBlay and tell her how important and appreciated her work is, hang with my Boos @vixen594 and @thehotnessgrrrl (why don't I have a picture of us?), and see the lovely @lynnpitts. Shout out to @alexasherdaniel on DJ duty for providing the perfect soundtrack (swipe left to see everyone dancing to the last song of the night). Now, y'all go cop Joan's book! #SheBegatThis #JoanMorgan #BookLaunch #BookSigning #BrooklynMuseum #ForUsByUs #YallGonnaGetThisBlackExcellence #supportBlackwriters #professionalblackgirl #LaurynHill #TheMiseducation #HipHop #TraScapades #BronxGirls #ArtIsAWeapon (at Brooklyn Museum)

❤🙌🏾💰 #ArtIsAWeapon Please support my girl @fiyawata Dr. Yaba Blay's #fundraising campaign to complete Season 2 of her @professionalblackgirl series - a wonderful celebration affirming our beautiful selves! #Donate here: http://kck.st/2rdov3R Oh, and that theme song is by the lovely #singer-songwriter @ammawhatt! Check out #ProfessionalBlackGirl Season 1: https://youtu.be/kKfvpWC4gV8 -------------------------- FROM @fiyawata - Let me hold $20! I'm raising the funds I need to produce Season 2 of Professional Black Girl, which will be set in New Orleans! Building upon the success of the first season, I'm producing this second season with higher production value and with more content depth. Added to the in-salon, in-her-face style conversations that you've grown to love, we'll also be exploring the city, showing you the New Orleans that many of you don't see - my New Orleans, Black New Orleans; and we'll do that through the lens of Professional Black Girl experiences. But in order to do that, we need money! And by "we," I mean ME. Yaba. Dr. Blay. Your girl. So let me hold $20. ((link in bio)) I'm good for it. Plus, I've got a few dope rewards. #ProfessionalBlackGirl 💁🏾 #DrYabaBlay #ILoveUs #YallGonnaGetThisBlackExcellence #BlackWomenScholars #BlackWomenAtWork #CelebrateBlackGirls #CelebrateBlackWomen #SupportBlackWomen #TraScapades #Inspiration #Affirmation #ArtIsAWeapon

⚖#ArtIsAWeapon

My Black-ass mood, in four parts, reflected by brilliant Black people...

▪︎Image 1: 🎨 @the_wreckshop

▪︎Image 2: ✍🏿 @thesonofbaldwin

▪︎Image 3: ✍🏿 Neely Fuller

▪︎Image 4: ✍🏿 @ehimeora

●●

Reposted from @thesonofbaldwin I was going to write something longer about the #KyleRittenhouse trial, but realized both the futility and the pointlessness of doing so.

The United States of America has an unbreakable, unshakeable commitment to the pathology of the white supremacist #capitalist #patriarchy from which it sprung.

Thus, its actions will always be nothing if not:

a. predictable

b. egocentric

c. hypocritical

d. treacherous

e. fatalistic

f. evil

So it never amazes me how intensely successful racism is in a country where everyone claims not to be racist.

●●

Reposted from @yabablay finished teaching “White Supremacy and Beauty Politics” at @theslowfactory and saw the news.

(re)sharing a quote that guided us through the class. In case you’re trying to “make sense” of it.

●●

Reposted from @ehimeora You gotta resurrect the deep pain that lives within you and give it a place to live that’s not within your body.

Let it live in art. Let it live in writing. Let it live in music. Let it be devoured by building brighter connections.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Your body is not a coffin for pain to be buried in. Put it somewhere else.

🎥#ArtIsAWeapon Y'all check my good sis Dr. @yabablay on tonight's episode of the @cnnorigseries "United Shades of America with @wkamaubell," 10:15 PM EST, @CNN

・・・

Reposted from @wkamaubell: [Tonight] at a weird time of 10:15pm ET / 7:15p PT United Shades of America is in Philadelphia talking about that future day when this country has more Black, Indigenous, AAPI, and people of color than white people. Some people think that will automatically be the dawning of a new day. But people in Philly, a city that is already “majority minority”, know different. In Philly they know if the structures don’t change then it’s not a new dawn. Just the same old jawn...

This is a truly special episode. A lot went down that week we were in Philly.

I'm so excited for my sis @yabablay! Tonight, "AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange" premieres season 2 of her hit web-series "PROFESSIONAL BLACK GIRL!" Tune in at 8PM ET on @worldchannel!

Yay YABA!! Thank you for always seeing, supporting, showcasing and celebrating US! 🤸🏿‍♀️💕👏🏿

Reposted from @yabablay When I created my webseries @professionalblackgirl, I did it sheerly out of my love for Black women and girls. I had no bigger plans other than getting it on YouTube so that we could see and celebrate ourselves. Now look - we’re coming to a TV (or computer) screen near you!

Five episodes of Season 2 will be featured on @blackpublicmedia’s annual AfroPop documentary series on @worldchannel!!! Featuring the ever magical @thinktank20, @freshjohnson, @apshantology, @thequeentahj, @cheflindagreen, and @ggirlgina representing the 504 in true #ProfessionalBlackGirl form. It’s gonna be a good time!

💁🏾‍♀️

Yes, you’ve already seen it, and if you haven’t, you can watch every episode here on my IGTV or on my YouTube channel. And STILL, I’m still asking you to tune in on MONDAY, APRIL 19th at 8p EST/7p CST as a show of support - not only for me or for #ProfessionalBlackGirl - but for Black women and girls period. Your views will help to REITERATE the point that we need to see ourselves, on screen. And we DESERVE to see ourselves - our TRUE SELVES - on screen. Ya heard me?! So tune in! Please.

#AfroPoP is the acclaimed documentary series showcasing contemporary stories from all corners of the African Diaspora.
