Faces like seashells. Worn and weary. Giving in to their own helpless evolutions and painful distortions. They seem to have washed up on a shore of gravel, little bits of rock, that, like them, were once more than they are. #metbreuer #metunfinished #faces #art #modern #sunday #museum #newyork #manhattan (at The Met Breuer)

"We're training her to be a leader," Grace Odembo, who founded Okoa Sasa told me recently. When I asked if Diana, a three year old who is a survivor of sexual violence, has the personality to lead, Grace laughed and told me, "Well se bosses all the other children around, even though she's the youngest!" I'm thrilled to hear that Diana is a little diva because the world owes her. She was raped as a toddler and developed a tear in her rectum as a consequence which was only recently reversed through surgery. She's made a full recovery and started school now, all because of Okoa Sasa, the Mombasa, Kenya-based organization that provides for her every need. Please consider donating to help Grace continue being an angel to kids like Diana. A direct link to the @indiegogo campaign is in my profile! Thank you on behalf of my fav diva! #crowdfunding #children #hope #love #instagood #diva #👼🏾 #smile #model #modelmaterial #microfashion #girl #girlpower #kenya #africa #💗

Spring sprungs itself into the gray, gray sky and laughs. You cannot stop an idea whose time has come. #spring #idea #flowers #running #morningrun #morning #neighborhood #washingtondc #thedistrict #🌷
