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
