#seeus

I’ve had the honor of working on a little project with these lovely and diverse group of girls. We wanted to create and image that stands for unity between women of color in the pinup community ... so often we are underrepresented, silenced and alienated so we wanted to create something for ourselves together. Today it feels like this message has an added layer of importance with the events that transpired yesterday in regards to George Floyd. The black community cannot undo systematic racism alone we need our allies to stand up and speak up with us. I hope you enjoy this project and take a good look at the spectrum of color that is present in the pinup community. We may not always have the opportunity to be showcased but we are here regardless! #unityindiversity #pinupsofcolor #pocpinups #ashleeta #vintagestyle #vintagefashionnotvintagevalues #seeus #blacklivesmatter #asianpinup #blackpinup #brownpinup #diversepinups #woc https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyBtDXJjRY/?igshid=1tud9qofjmbv1

It never really occurred to me that I could potentially meet people who go to my college by tagging stuff with the name of the university. But yeah. I go here. Sometimes I draw posters for SEEUS. Mostly I work a lot.

“See Us” the campaign I mixed with Windy Films for CBS TV has been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Public Service Announcement 🙏🏽🔥 Thanks for having me!

UPDATED VERSION: (I had to delete the prior post, because the font was not too visible. All else is the same.) My mind is bombarded with thoughts and feeling that run the gamut. My body is burdened by it all. However, for the life of me, I can’t express them in writing in any coherent manner. They are too elusive. Perhaps, I am too angry, too sad, too overwhelmed, too confused, too disappointed, too astounded, too broken-hearted, too speechless, too afraid, or just trying to keep my wits about me. Whatever the case may be, I must honor them, and this quote will have to suffice, at least for now. Blessings and love, Lydia #blacklivesmattertoo #seeus #hatekillsloveheals #equanimity #weareequals #colorblind #speakupspeakout #standupforwhatisright #peacefulactivism #mlk #racisminamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0q0wfgpjr/?igshid=ry73eoa5ncc4

Lucky for this guy he had no advert on the side of his truck. Folks, please pay attention when you are driving. Many of us spend our mornings exercising outdoors. #payattention #baddriver #seeus (at O'Fallon, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UZcm_FP3U/?igshid=yyjl6lnjnn97
