A self-absorbed Black American fashion model on a photo shoot in Africa is spiritually transported back to a plantation in the West Indies where she experiences first-hand the physical and psychic horrors of chattel slavery, and eventually the redemptive power of community and rebellion as she becomes a member of a freedom-seeking Maroon colony.

Rudy Suggs, a former drug dealer in Brooklyn, now works as a “violence interrupter” for Save Our Streets Crown Heights.
On and around the street corner where one of his friends was once gunned down, Mr. Suggs now breaks up fights before people run home to get their weapons. The neighborhood kids who saw him selling and fighting when they were young are now teenagers whom he counsels not to go down the same path.
Mr. Suggs’s services as a “violence interrupter,’’ one of four who work for Save Our Streets Crown Heights, part of the Crown Heights Community Mediation Center, are in high demand, with shootings still prevalent in the neighborhood. » CONTINUE

The new self-produced single from Yung B Da Producer. Please be on the lookout for his debut, The Last Poet and the upcoming compilation by The Manifest Movement, entitled Dreams Manifest.
Brooklyn artist Mickalene Thomas is best known for her elaborate, collage-inspired paintings, embellished with rhinestones, enamel, and colorful acrylics.
Her depictions of African American women explore a spectrum of black female beauty and sexual identity while constructing images of femininity and power.
Origin of the Universe, Thomas’s first solo museum exhibition, highlights recent bodies of work that examine interior and exterior environments in relation to the female figure. Their settings are often inspired by her 1970s childhood.
I highly recommend artists, lovers and art lovers get to the Brooklyn Museum to see this exhibit. I was so impressed I stayed at the exhibition and watched the full video that went along with the artwork.
You will love this. It is perfect for people who love 70s music and design. She even interviews her mom who was a drug dealer turned user turned recovering addict. Don’t miss this. xoxo , ~Chevy
