Venice, CA wasn’t just built on sand—it was built on the strength, skill, and perseverance of African Americans. 💪🏾 From constructing the canals to laying the rail lines, Black workers played a crucial role in shaping this coastal paradise. Yet, redlining and racial covenants tried to erase their place in history.

But long as there are stars above you

You never need to doubt it

I saw the news that songwriter and Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson passed away yesterday. One cannot underestimate how impactful his songs were, and his struggles with mental illness. My personal favorite of his songs was Good Vibrations. But, I felt like God Only Knows is the more appropriate song for this piece.
