Ska posters at @tingiriedxb give a little history of the culturally significant dance movement. Ska's roots are in R&B and it made way for "reggae and rocksteady" genres. In my opinion, Ska also gave birth to dancehall culture. It gives me great pleasure witnessing the sharing of our culture in an Arabic state. - @quaintrevolt #quaintrevoltmag #quaintrevolt #blackgirlsbeslaying #jamaica #jamaicans #travel #dubai #uae #asia #magazine #art #culture (at Manzil Downtown Dubai)

My vacation is over and life's obligations have resumed. Seeing another continent, the culture and spending time with family was truly wonderful. Now, I'm back in classes and ready start writing again. Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend! xox (Unplanned beach stop in Abu Dhabi with my adorable siblings) #quaintrevolt #quaintrevoltmag #blackgirlsbeslaying #fbf #travel #abudhabi #uae #beach (at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)

Jamaicans You Should Know: Una Maude Victoria Marson (1905-1965). Marson was a prolific writer, feminist and activist. Her respectable career included editing the Jamaican political journal, 'Jamaica Critic'; owner, editor and publisher of 'The Cosmopolitan'. She published collections of poetry, produced plays and operated the BBC program 'Caribbean Voices' in London. Marson was a brilliant, brazen and progressive fixture for West Indian creativity and intellect whose work continues to transcend.

"Black + Gold Sheroe" by @kiacd_ hovers above my bed (next to another piece of hers), as a daily reminder when I awake and drift off into my dreams: To add style & flair in all that I do. To walk confidently in this skin of mine. To hold my head high, especially when darkness trails behind me. To levitate, gracefully, over any perils this world may place in front of me. To conquer my wildest dreams, in only a way that I can. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces art & artists. Revisit my conversation with Kia on quaintrevolt.com/features/kiadyson & how to purchase her work. Happy Saturday, luvs! 💛 #quaintrevolt #quaintrevoltmag #blackgirlsbeslaying #saturday #art
