“Today’s revolutionaries need to reimagine what revolution means • The best way to make a change on institutional issues in our modern world is to reimagine ourselves • We need to see young people as the solution and not part of the problems • reimagining education means relating to our children in a more human way • the arts and artists play a crucial role in transforming their communities and their world • cultural change precedes political change” #GraceLeeBoggs gems // #reimagineeducation #digitalcollage #revolution #evolution (at Leimert Park, Los Angeles)

Check out this great article by Derreck Johnson aka @deephunk for @slate and get hype for the release of #BlackPanther: “When We Were Kings and Queens - From Haile Selassie to Wakanda to Zamunda, seeing ourselves as leaders and royalty is pure escapism and cathartic.” Happy to contribute art for this piece. Thanks again, D! (Link in bio) • photo 1 of 2.

This illustration is one of my favourites from the collection and is based on my bookworm of a little sister who constantly inspires me with her knowledge and kindness. This is a tribute to women who read, women who add to our knowledge, women who teach us to be better. 💕🌈👓

Lanese Martin, Biseat Horning and Ebele Ifedigbo (a Yale MBA) started The Hood Incubator in 2017 with the goal of bringing black people in Oakland and across the country into the marijuana industry. To this end, the group delivers “community organizing, policy advocacy, and economic development” to help underserved communities profit from legal weed. It’s not just black-owned storefronts they’re after, but black leaders at the highest levels. “We envision a model where a pool of minorities can fund growers; manufacturers—whether it’s tinctures, oils or edibles; suppliers; and dispensaries,” Juell Stewart, the Incubator’s director of communications, told The Root. “We want to see a day when we have a group of people who invest in the entire cannabis industry.”

Issa Rae COVERGIRL | Made In The Mirror

Too often I have to silence the voices that tell me to fold in on myself. . . I’m a couple inches shy of 6ft tall…I’ve never really been someone who didn’t take up space. . . I’m still learning to not fold in on myself. To not worry about headroom or leg room - but to make spaces accomodate me. . . . Postcard girls. Work from 2009. Vagabroad×macabrii work from 2015.

I wanna give a shout out to my Pin@ys in the Bay and worldwide. My whole family has grown up beside u. Y'all are pioneers in Hip Hop and torch bearers for it and social justice! This is to bring awareness to the indigenous people (The Lumad) in the Philippines who are being killed, pushed off their land, and restricted. They are in a battle against Capitalist/Imperialist greed & power from the Filipino Govt and the US. Also in support of Pin@ys from Manila to Marawi , the Filipino pres Rodrigo Duterte has been on a rampage killing hella people under the guise of a drug war. Bullshit! Please follow @salupongan.international to learn more abt the struggle there and Filipinos in the US who have beeeeen working to support the struggle for freedom there. #nomartiallaw#supportthelumad #thephilippines#duterte #inktober #inktober2017#stopthekillings #illustration#artofrobertliutrujillo special shout out to @powstrug and @pelepino for the song “Stop the Killings” .
