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

#flashbackfriday #Repost @richmondgrid ・・・ Legacy Wall honoring 21 African American physicians who, along with Sarah Garland Jones, M.D., founded what is now Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital! Richmond Community Hospital is descended from the first African American patient care facility in Virginia. Bon Secours Virginia Health system acquired the hospital in 1995 to ensure the East End facility continued to provide care for those in need. . Dr. Jones, the first woman to pass the examination by the Virginia Board of Medicine, is credited with pioneering the early vision for Richmond Community Hospital and bringing together the group of 21 individuals who are recognized on the wall. . Check out the Legacy Wall, featuring the work of @hamglass, on the exterior of the Bon Secours Sarah Garland Jones Center on Nine Mile Road – a few hundred yards from Richmond Community Hospital. . #rvaart #rvacommunity #eastendrva #visitrichmond #rvaartist #healthcare #rva #art #richmondgrid #art180 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnI6ZsWFGGZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mr14bqtxq0ip

Last summer, I was band photographer, roadie, and a workshop instructor for "History of Women Who Rock" for Girls Rock RVA. I love these girls and what this camp provides! Anyone know of spaces around Richmond to hold it this summer since their regular space will not be available?
