These earrings were made intentionally with the black and brown beads to show more representation for my LGBT & Two Spirit Afro-Indigenous and QTPOC relatives. LGBT pride has historically been euro-centric and white washed. The issues of QTPOC and Indigenous folks are often unheard and therefore unaddressed. We need to center folks with underrepresented identities and focus on moving forward with an intersectional approach that invites every aspect of their identity to the space. ▫️ To all of my Afro-indigenous and Black Indian Two Spirits, I’m sorry if you’ve ever felt isolated within your different communities. Y’all are sacred and your ancestral strength is unmatched. I hope you know that this work is for YOU and celebrates EVERY part of you. Your nativeness is valid. Your blackness is valid. Your queerness is valid. Y’all are beautiful and I will work to support you in any way that I can. 🥰 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 ▫️ #twospiritartist #pride2019 #nativemade #supportindigenousartists #qtpoc #afroindigenous #blackindian #blacknative #lgbt #lgbtq #indigiqueer #beadwork #beadedearrings #smallbusiness #queerkwe #queerkwedesigns #anishinaabe #ndn #lgbtpride🌈 (at Ann Arbor, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BylHUBZFFJI/?igshid=h0b4j1dr94b6

QueerKwe Design looks at #ypsipride a few weeks ago!! ... Pride has never felt like home for me as a two spirit person. It’s never felt like my space to claim and the chaotic energy can be too overwhelming at times. This year, we created our own space! We all got dressed up, coordinated our jewelry, and brought the indigenous vibes I’ve always wished to see in queer communities. When you surround yourself with people who bring you good energy, who make your spirit fuller, beautiful things will happen. Miigwetch to all of my friends who came out and supported my work!! 🥰 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 #twospirit #twospiritartist #pride2019 #ypsilanti #supportindigenousartists #nativemade #beadwork #anishinaabe #indigenousvibes #indigiqueer #queerkwe #queerkwedesigns #lgbt #lgbtq (at Ypsilanti, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzMak3rlEMK/?igshid=1lif5bhfie4je
