Here’s the essay I wrote about Community for @richmondnow2020 I hope you find meaning in my thoughts and are able to see yourself and your #community in them, even if you don’t agree with my point of view. What I do know for certain is this: I wouldn’t be me without Richmond. And I wouldn’t be here now doing what I love every day if it wasn’t for this community.

This is something I’m extremely proud of. Thank you for asking me to write an essay about Community for the Richmond Now: Coloring Activity Book #RP @richmondnow2020 What is community? Check out this excerpt from BlackLiq and finish reading his essay on our blog. C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y By BlackLiq “One of the most overused words is “Community.” So much that a community itself becomes overused. I used to roll my eyes everytime someone would say “Your community could really use you Black.” There was a time where I felt I wasn’t part of Richmond’s community, though I worked so hard to make Richmond part of everything I do. I was “Drawing crowds. Building a crowd of Hip Hop artists. Activists. Entrepreneurs. Movers and shakers. People who didn’t feel accepted. People like me.” That’s the thing about being a MC though, you move crowds. “ Illustration by @seaplus_rlmoses . . . #rvacommunity #rva #richmondnow #richmondva #blackliq #rvahiphop (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXxaGb5LXYv/?utm_medium=tumblr
