New OMOWALE poster from Don’t Sleep Interiors! Our poster celebrates the life of Pearl Primus a Trini/American dancer, choreographer and anthropologist. The Oni and people of Ife, Nigeria, felt that she was so much a part of their community that they initiated her into their commonwealth and affectionately conferred on her the title "Omowale" — the child who has returned home. #pearlprimus #trini #trinidadcarnival #trinidadandtobago #africandiaporadance #africandiasporahome #africandiaspora #blackgirlmagic #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/By-2ukAFhke/?igshid=myjkhsn32rc4

The dance is strong magic. The body can fly without wings. It can sing without voice. The dance is strong magic. The dance is life. ~Pearl Primus 🔥📸 @efexphotography #beautifullysterotyped #womenshistorymonth #womensherstorymonth #pearlprimus #dancer #sekhmet #femaleempowerment #orisha #bronzed #melanin #usvi #usvirginislands #afropunk #blackplanet #divinefeminine #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #dance #africadance #african #afro #afrodance #afrobeat #afrika #afrikan #blackdance #blackdancer #blackhair #naturalhair (at Saint Thomas, US Virgin Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhwTB0h6p4W2yEyIkp_ou50v_QmtZUGdLk5mY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bdeolyyk87p1
