What a privilege to lend my voice to @netflix’s

What a privilege to lend my voice to @netflix’s moving International Women's Day tribute, celebrating the extraordinary women who left an indelible mark on our industry -- the pathfinders, the trailblazers, the firsts.Without their courage, tenacity and talent, I wouldn't be able to make history of my own. #iwd

Somebody put this photo from the 11th grade on Twitter and I was CACKLING!You really couldn’t tell 17yo Janet not a thing. The microbraids, pencil thin brows, and heart shaped chain belt...Destiny’s Cousin was just waiting for her moment, child.

Congrats Reverend Joyce McDonald (@joyketa) on the opening of your solo show!I’m in love with this “testimonial sculpture” I collected called “Mother’s Prayers” — Terracotta air dry clay, paper towel, acrylic, glitter, varnish — 12 x 6 x 6 in.This particular piece reminds me of my grandmother Shellie Jean Gipson and her prayers that shielded our family, acting as an adhesive that solidified our bonds to her and one another. The power, resilience and foundational strength of Black womanhood continues to enrich my life, and I urge you to see Rev. McDonald’s show at @gordonrobichaux.Reverend McDonald is a self-taught visionary, multidisciplinary artist, AIDS activist, and minister. The artist, who is an active member of @visual_aids, created these sculptures and portraits in her apartment using her kitchen table, sink, and improvised tools such as an electric nail file. She memorializes her own life stories and wider cultural experiences of family, love, loss, illness, healing, transformation, and transcendence. In the show you’ll see pieces honoring Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and @kaepernick7.
