Voices through Visuals

Hearing the phrase "I don't see color" really doesn't sit well with me because race isn't the problem. Ignoring race means your ignoring oppressive patterns perpetuated by racism.

Plus cultural differences can be amazing. My culture has helped shape who I am as a person. I want to learn about your culture because that helped shape who you are. Learning about the varied experiences of others makes us all richer as humans.

Racism is the problem. Discrimination is the problem. Don't blame it on the cultural differences.

(Also be sure to check out - their latest post about “not seeing color” was wonderfully worded! Definitely helped me articulate why I am so frustrated by the term color blind)

Alexa, play Havana by Camila Cabello 💃🏽

I was invited to participate in a travel collab with 23 amazing artists! The theme was to draw a place we’d love to travel once the world opens up again.

I picked Havana bc it’s been on my bucket list for a while. I can’t wait to experience it one day. The weather, the food, the architecture, the dancing....

Huge shout out to .letters for organizing 💛

Still letting myself feel happy and hopeful for the next couple of days 🥰 This is a huge milestone and deserves to be celebrated!

I wanted to take today and this weekend to educate myself and be more than a performative ally. I read his Letters from Birmingham Jail to understand the full picture and not just snippets of quotes taken out of context.

One thing that frustrated me was how applicable and relatable his quotes still are today. There are SO MANY MORE quotes that I wanted to include in this post, but this post was getting quite long and I didn’t want to repeat a lot of the quotes are already getting shared.

What are some of your favorite quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.?

: Now that the House and Senate are both blue, let’s not forget about the Black voters that put you there and MADE THIS POSSIBLE. Listen to the BIPOC community. Push policy that actually helps.
