Let’s get into it what is Juneteenth? “In 1865, enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom by Union troops in Galveston Bay, Texas two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Known as #Juneteenth, this day is widely celebrated as the end of chattel slavery in the U.S.” - @smithsonian Juneteenth is not the time for Non-Black people, to commodify, monetize, tokenize or appropriate. It’s not for you to center yourself in a movement you never put any labor or work into! We are in the middle of the biggest black civil rights movement in world history move with us or be moved aside. #blacklivesmatter #juneteenth #allofusornoneofus #pinup #politicalpinup #blackpinup #blackburlesque #blackandproud #selfportrait #ashleeta #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #respectabilitypoliticswillnotsaveyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoYpJLpCZj/?igshid=1bhlmjudcfvkp

I’ve had the honor of working on a little project with these lovely and diverse group of girls. We wanted to create and image that stands for unity between women of color in the pinup community ... so often we are underrepresented, silenced and alienated so we wanted to create something for ourselves together. Today it feels like this message has an added layer of importance with the events that transpired yesterday in regards to George Floyd. The black community cannot undo systematic racism alone we need our allies to stand up and speak up with us. I hope you enjoy this project and take a good look at the spectrum of color that is present in the pinup community. We may not always have the opportunity to be showcased but we are here regardless! #unityindiversity #pinupsofcolor #pocpinups #ashleeta #vintagestyle #vintagefashionnotvintagevalues #seeus #blacklivesmatter #asianpinup #blackpinup #brownpinup #diversepinups #woc https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyBtDXJjRY/?igshid=1tud9qofjmbv1

Last year, I wrote an article on the realities of navigating the vintage community as a black woman for @thevintagewomanmagazine . I think a lot of the things I discuss are very relevant to what is going on right now. It was scary to put my thoughts out there on such a wide platform I’m not the best writer so I wrote from my heart.. a lot of these things needed to come out from under the rug they are continually being swept under. I hope that you will read it and reflect. Thank you to The Vintage Woman Magazine for the opportunity to write this piece Thank you 💕 Ashleeta (I will be linking the article in my bio) #blacklivesmatter #blackwomenmatter #pocpinup #pinupofcolor #intersectionalfeminism #blackwriters #ashleeta #thevintagewomanmagazine #gatekeeping (at Black Lives Matter America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9cb70pkQ2/?igshid=1x6gsrtj8jwid
