REPOST @fiyawata /// “soooo my insomnia post early this morning got folks engaged…and in my DMs. “Identity politics” is “my thing.” Especially as it pertains to people of African descent surviving White supremacy (or not). So let’s talk… Me myself - I am a first-generation American-born Ghanaian who was raised in New Orleans. In many cases, I identify as African, but in MOST cases, I identify as Black. “black” is a color in the crayon box. “Black” is a political identity. (If you are referring to human beings, capitalize the B. Thank you. When the rules of the English language were created, Black people weren’t considered human beings. So there’s that). Capital B. “Black” is a political identity that denotes people of African descent ALL OVER THE WORLD. For ME, it reflects a Diaporic perspective and connection. For ME, it aligns me with MY PEOPLE across time and space. “Black” is the larger umbrella under which the identities “African American,,” “African,” “Afro-Latinx,” “West Indian/Caribbean,” etc. find a home. I know that to the unsuspecting eye, we all look alike , but we’re not all African American. I am not African American, I am Black. There’s a difference.
That said - how do you identify? And why? Is it something that you’ve thought about and made a conscious, informed decision about? Or is it something you’ve adopted / acceptance outside of yourself?” #50shadesofblack #blackisbeautiful #Black #afrolatinx #african #ghana #carribbean

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve last worked this piece and theres some changes needed. I’m going to share quick Art Tip.

✨Kneaded Erasers✨
These guys are not only great for erasing pencil/graphite and charcoal, but OIL too!

• Easily pull off “wet” paint without smearing it.
• Moldable to fine points to get in tight areas.
•Creates amazing textures between wet & Dry layers

Kneaded Erasers are a great alternative to paper towels or using solvents to erase paint away. Be experimental and have fun!

If you enjoy these tips, join me on my art journey by subscribing to my newsletter through my profile. I’ll be sharing more tips on how I use my tools and more!

Busy working, but I had enough time to share a small video of this on my IGTV.

If you’ve noticed there’s quite a few works in progress I’ve been sharing sneak peeks of for something very special, but soon I’ll be MIA and checking in with you guys sporadically.
