PEOPLE REACT TO LEATHERS USED IN MAKING LUXURY BRANDS ARE MADE IN NIGERIA AND NOT ITALY!

Funny how European and Chinese companies have proven themselves compromised when it comes to telling the full story of luxury fashion…conveniently leaving out tanneries and leather artisans on Northern Nigeria.

Just me?

I want to chop it up about art, fashion, culture, life…so I keep setting up my phone to shoot impromptu footage of me working and then I get overwhelmed with how ugly I feel and turn the camera off.

This is getting disruptive.

Spend more time with art and my therapist. Clearly.

Ralph Tresvant is so smooth 🔥🐐

Did I ever tell y’all that growing up every lady and their momma was sweating Bobby Brown but me?

Nope. I had a big crush on Ralph Tresvant. Can you see why?

Got parents in a nursing home or memory care facility receiving Social Security?

If Elon, Trump and GOP grifters have their way, not only will Nana and PawPaw lose their support, YOU🫵🏾 will be left with the tab of your state calls for filial responsibility.

Buy local if you must buy at all. Odds are, if you look carefully, you’ve got an excess of the things you want and can be morally and politically strategic with obtaining the things you need.

If I am thinking about creating something sometimes I’ll “speed visualize” it being made. It’s kind of like when people say their lives flash before their eyes only it is not a life or death thing for me. It’s just the moment playing out fast and I kind of zone out so I can watch and feel the show.

The Yasiin Bey

When I say I love hip hop, it is because if artists like Yasiin (formerly Mos Def) has kept the love alive.

Living Black history. 💚🖤❤️

Too many influencers & rappers fat off the years upon years of doing mediocre work (journalism, analysis & creative production) while being the biggest misogynistic, entitled pricks have entered their jilted ex phase & it’s already exhausting.

What Does Love Mean To You? | James Baldwin On Treating Each Other Differently

Maria Fenton @mariafenton.bsky.social · Feb 6

“Has everyone been in love?… Not on the basis of the evidence. If they have they’ve forgotten it. If everyone has been in love, they’d treat their children differently. They’d treat each other differently.”

-James Baldwin
