A Look Back @ Kara Walker’s A Subtelty or The Marvelous Sugar Baby

I went to see this exhibit back in summer 2014, and it changed my life. It's the single most powerful piece of art I've seen in-person. I was inspired to re-post my original blog after a colleague came into my office today and commented on the poster of Her. I've had that poster since 2014 …

Seeing Kara Walker’s “A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby”

It’s Saturday. I’m in New York and I wake up feeling refreshed and excited about going to see some art. My boyfriend, brother, his fiancée B and I head out to get some breakfast. The weather is perfect, warm with little to no humidity. The sky is blue with pulled cotton ball clouds. We strike …

Me & my Auntie/Twin hangin @lafoodmarketa after a couple of shots & margaritas. My sis @aqua2529 stopped by to check in on us. Happy Friday y’all ✌🏾 & 💜
Happy B’earth Day to my Pops, Arnaz Harlee Jefferson. He left this earthly plane back in August 2008. This first pic is the two of us; I gotta story to tell about the rest…
Y’all it’s been a week since I returned from @baldwinforthearts & I’m still floating. I’m now a Baldwin Fellow & I’m n such good company.
Y’all! The pool opens tomorrow & I can’t wait. Now please let this weather cooperate, todays perfect for a layout☀️
Y’all! I’m excited to start my residency at @baldwinforthearts today. I don’t know what this week will bring, but I’ve set the intention to be present in the space writing/creating. Beginning tomorrow I’ll be offa here for the week/end. For any deadline driven inquiries shoot me an email ✌🏾& 💜
The fresh scent of rain & the patter of raindrops on leaves, layered w/ birdsong is everything. Sir Oliver agrees.
This that Black Girl Magic folks be talkin about. Recognize the crazy talent up on this porch! I’m so grateful for the beautiful space (givin Hamptons vibes in Baltimore) & for the camaraderie & conversations.
After work I took myself to @localcolorflowers for their Wednesday Flower Happy Hour. This was my first time. They source their flowers from local growers & you’re getting what’s in season. I wasn’t prepared, you can BYOB & snax. Best believe I’ll tuck a bottle of Prosecco under my arm next time😏 But seriously flowers bring me so much joy & my faves were on display today: peonies & tulips. You get to make your own bouquet & can even buy a vase if you want…I bet you can bring your own too. What you see is the little bouquet I made & brought home. This is a small thing that means a lot to me & brings me joy. Big thanks to @gcastle90 for the recommendation💜 #bitsofjoy
