・・・ #BNMMEDIA #gotCLEAN i literally do not wear gold or diamonds. it's sociopolitical. knowledge of imperialism, colonialism, & capitalism puts my mind in a space where paying exorbitant prices for metals & gems generally mined by indigenous huebeins is a thing not to do. the indigenous peoples are not receiving anywhere near the benefit due for the taking of raw resources from their lands. to the best of my current knowledge, the indigenous people don't own the mines or collect the profits of the corps/organizations that make claim to resource rich areas. i'm not giving that my financial cosign. my jewels generally carry some symbolic communication. they also tend to be made of wood, brass, silver, soapstone, shells, etc. ▪ "I don't wear gold, but I clock ducats..." - @publicenemyftp (@mrchuckd_pe) ・・・ #gear #fashion #aesthetics #haberdashery #3y3AMfriendnfamily #3y3LIKEcolors #symbolicCOMMUNICATION #cowrie #ankh #ARTLIFE #EDUCATESELF #RBG #THINKCOLLECTIVE #THINKGLOBAL (at North Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrF4v0ujw_J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9zxezp0cwxtg
