Billboard by Deep East Oakland documentarian @brittsense 🙌🏾 Since my billboards have been up I've been asked what was the process. When walking around communities where melanated people live, the advertisments are one of the biggest triggers along with the food establishments, liquor stores and everything else that is put there intentionally to lower our vibrations. I realized this since I was younger but didnt have a blueprint at the time to help with solving the problem. For generations my people have been bombarded with negative imagery and messaging from mainstream media. The reason? WE are not telling our OWN stories. If our existence isnt being talked about negatively our culture is being exploited. With my billboards i wanted to change that. Advertisments are put up so we can consume, be distracted and physiologically controlled. With my billboards the mission is to make my people aware of their royalty in a world that tells them it dosent exist! If i was to add up all the money i used to spend on major corporations it would be thousands so i decided it was time to invest thousands into myself & my people. Paying for all these billboards by myself took alot of discipline and many people doubted me when I said I would put them up but I never doubted and manifested them daily. I will never beg society to include my people when this world was ours to begin with, but instead i will continue creating my own platforms for us to grow from. So for all of my people that are from deepeastoakland and any other place the media talks down about to make you feel like you're not capable of prospering or helping your people prosper that is an illusion to keep us in FEAR. It can be done. Continue to believe in your vision & mission daily and if it's rooted out of unconditional love it will eventually align in the moment it's supposed too.Thank you to every soul that have purchased my self published book THE POWER OF MELANiN AVAILABLE NOW at BRITTSENSE.COM. No more Begging or Asking for acceptance, The moment to tell our own stories is NOW. The time to unconditionally love, invest, support & build is NOW. #supportblackart #brittsense #222forgottencities

Oakland-born photographer Brittani Sensabaugh's career took a dramatic turn when she decided to give up pursuit of fashion photography and make it her business to "document all the places around the world where melanated people live that the media talks down on." As her 222 Forgotten Cities project works to remind her people they can shine and rise above pain and struggle, Baltimore artists Billy Mode and Chris Stain approached her for permission to use one her powerful portraits as the basis for this 2016 piece at Welling Ct. and 30th Ave. in Astoria, Queens. Stain, who's interest in art started with subway graffiti, learned printmaking in high school and eventually shifted to stencil art adaptations of photography. He is a frequent collaborator with abstract graffiti artist Mode, who's work Street Art NYC says fuses elements of math, science, and design.  @chrisstain1972  @billymode  @brittsense
