062 | Walidah Imarisha (@walidahimarisha) is Day 62 of #100DaysofRadPNWWomxn. Walidah Imarisha is a writer, educator, activist and spoken word artist in Portland, OR. She is the co-editor of “Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements,” and “Another World Is Possible.” Those publications and many of Walidah’s writings explore the idea of “visionary fiction,“ writing that illustrates and demonstrates the process of growth in human consciousness, predictive insights and the core of moral truth, often in apocalyptic themes. She is also the author of the poetry collection “Scars/Stars” and the 2017 Oregon Book Award winner for best non-fiction, “Angels with Dirty Faces: Dreaming Beyond Bars” which focuses on criminal justice issues. Walidah has taught writing and rhetoric across many prestigious programs and institutions and spent six years as the public scholar for the Oregon Humanities Conversation Project.

“The reality is that folks of color in the United States, and globally, have been living disasters and apocalypses for centuries. It only gets categorized as a disaster when it begins to affect white people, white structures.” —Walida Imarisha, Ep 10 of Seismic Airwaves podcast.

“Whenever we try to envision a world without war, without violence, without prisons, without capitalism, we are engaging in an exercise of speculative fiction. Organizers and activists struggle tirelessly to create and envision another world, or many other worlds, just as science fiction does.” —Walidah Imarisha and co-editor Adrienne Maree Brown on “visionary fiction.”

Slowly making progress on my #blackwork #embroiderysampler Each pattern section is shaded by using different thread thickness. Using my embroidery book from @royalneedlework for the patterns, though I may add some from other needlework books as well, depending on if there’s space at the end.
Going to be doing stitching for #the100dayproject though I’m starting a day late

Day 19/100 for #the100dayproject starting another painting.
When am I going to actually finish another painting…
Day 7 of #100daysofpainting
Honestly I was so exhausted I just decided to experiment with color and texture.
Day 5 of #100daysofpainting
This was about a 1 hour study, I really wasn’t feeling it today creatively. Some days it’s hard to paint, but pushing on and continuing to hone your skills is what matters.
A lot of times on social media we see the best of the best, that’s why I like to be transparent and show work that is more vulnerable. This is by far not my best painting, but that’s okay.
You can’t get discouraged when something doesn’t turn out the way you hoped it would. Creation and art is about the process just as much as it is about the final image.
I may or may not rework and improve this piece, but as it stands right now I’ve still created, and I have still painted.
