      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Rayman Boozer’s Colorful Tribeca Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>The living room exemplifies several of the unique design abilities that Rayman has become known for over his career. In this one room he shows off a unique color palette in the gray, green and yellow of the walls and rug, bold use of pattern on the sofa and the use of art - especially photography - as a finishing touch. Holding it all together are traditional design techniques, such as the subtle repetition of the leopard on the pillow and the tiger on the rug.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Rayman Boozer’s Colorful Tribeca Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>In every room of his home, Rayman proves that balance is the key to pulling off eclectic and innovative spaces - the busy pattern of the floral sofa is tempered by the structured brick wall as its backdrop. The rush of colors is countered by neutral elements - like the velvet throw pillows - so that things don’t feel too busy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Rayman Boozer’s Colorful Tribeca Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another of Rayman’s design strategies, he reveals, is the subtle but constant use of symmetry. On the coffee table, the trays on both sides of the centerpiece are identical; and while they are not filled with the same books and perhaps not too precisely the same height, they, nevertheless, provide a moment of balance and structure that helps to ground the space around them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Rayman Boozer’s Colorful Tribeca Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Like the dining room, the kitchen is designed to be a moment of visual respite, as well as a place for getting a snack. The extensive white cabinetry breaks away from the expert use of color and pattern throughout the home. The kitchen is not a complete outlier though, as pops of blue make their way in through two stunning bar stools upholstered in blue velvet.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Rayman Boozer’s Colorful Tribeca Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the core of Rayman’s design aesthetic is a combination of influences from many cultures, all brought together to create a coherent visual statement. In this bedroom nook, chinoiserie drapery depicts a series of Japanese scenes. A Greek bust sits atop a Chinese-style console table. And an armchair gets an update in fabric designed by Kelly Wearstler. All in all, the mastery of the mix is what makes everything work together so seamlessly in this visual kaleidoscope that Rayman Boozer calls home.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Polishing up those bones took a bit of doing. “We were quite young when we purchased this home, so our renovations have taken place over time,” Olaniyi relates. Gone are the dated tiles and mind-bending wallpapers, replaced by Olaniyi’s unique talent for mixing textures and patterns in the context of whimsical pastel color palettes. Metallics still play a part in the decor, albeit in more contemporary ways, appearing as furnishings and wall art, adding yet more color and texture.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Olaniyi Swarn’s Suburban Chicago Duplex - Another strategy Olaniyi employs throughout her home is to design every space. In the hallway, a design moment occurs as guests climb the stairs to the home’s second floor. A small landing between stairways becomes an oasis of color and pattern with palm frond wallpaper and a Moroccan-style mirror, paired with a cowrie shell necklace and a basket of dried foliage to create a distinctly African-inspired look. As a fan of layering unique elements in a space, everything in Olaniyi’s design feels purposeful, from a vignette display of jewelry and ceramics mirrors, to the restful color palette of the wallpaper in the background.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Olaniyi’s bedroom is unquestionably the sanctuary of this home. An elegant expression of her style, a color palette of black and white with pops of teal form the room’s design. The stenciled headboard makes an impact as both art and a functional piece in this warm and welcoming space.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Rachel Crouch’s Pop-Art Interior</image:title>
      <image:caption>One surefire path to great design is to lean into your strengths. For Rachel, it wasn’t hard to figure out what the main focus of her living room would be. “The living room was the easiest area to design,” she remembers. “I knew the paintings would take over the space so I chose furniture that added to the space but didn’t take away from the paintings.” This clarity of focus lets Rachel remain understated in her furniture choices while the art says everything. “After that, the room pretty much designed itself,” she says. Art runs in the Crouch family. Rachel and her twin sister, Rebecca, were both introduced to painting by their mother, Diane. While both went on to be educators and principals of different schools, their passion for art has created a large catalog of respective works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Rachel Crouch’s Pop-Art Interior - In the hallway landing a feature wall commemorating the landmark Brown v. The Board of Education Supreme Court decision is one of Rachel’s favorite aspects of the whole house. Rachel’s collage wall is a pastiche of moments surrounding the integration of American schools. Her clippings profile the March on Washington, examples of resistance to school integration and even political cartoons outlining the arguments for change. The papier-mâché of historic events is a backdrop to a colorful portrait of Thurgood Marshall. “This space is so important to me,” remarks Rachel. “I have dedicated my whole life to educating Black and Brown children and I wanted a space in my home that spoke to my passion.”  In the master bedroom, Rachel opted for a restful color palette. The color blue, that’s first seen in the living room, also comes into the master, but in a much deeper tone. The darker blue promotes rest and relaxation. Art also makes an appearance, with a collection of paintings that complete the retreat-like feel.</image:title>

      <image:caption>The bar on the fourth floor features one of Rachel’s crowning achievements for the space– a major DIY moment gone right. “I knew that once I owned a home, I wanted to have a bar and for the surface of the bar to be decorated in bottle caps. Even before I bought my home, I spent years collecting bottle caps. Once I placed each bottle cap where I wanted it to go, I finished it with resin. I love that I get to share my artwork with so many people. My dreams have literally come true.”</image:caption>

A gorgeous bust, intricately detailed, has been integrated in to the stairway’s design. This moment is just one more way that the Leitao family celebrates their culture at home.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Julio and Kenza’s Modern Clinton Hill Brownstone - What makes this room special are the small touches that connect the space to the stories of the people who live in them. The decorative mirror above the mantel is inscribed with the words, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold. They are words of Harriet Tubman. The piece was sourced by Kenza at an art show in Manhattan.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Breegan Jane’s Sanctuary of Style - Breegan is quick to reference the bedroom as her favorite space in the house. “My bedroom is my private oasis space,” she says. “The black, white and gold accents are elegant and comforting every time I walk into the space.” It was also the hardest part of the renovation. “It had an open spiral loft in the middle of the room, and a giant change in ceiling height.” But with her expert design approach, everything worked out perfectly. “I took it as an opportunity to create an individual canvas for customized art,” she recalls.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Breegan Jane’s Sanctuary of Style - Reading is important to this young mom. “Some of my favorite pieces are books I’ve collected during my travels,” the designer affirms. Passing a love of reading on to her children, the boys’ room features book storage that is perfect for blending form and function. The bookshelves keep things tidy while displaying Kensi and Kingsley’s favorite books.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Breegan Jane’s Sanctuary of Style - Breegan spends much of her time designing spaces to make other people feel comfortable and cared for. It’s a skill she uses in her own home as well. Her guest bedroom blends soft textures and light colors to make a room any guest would find hard to leave. “I love hearing that people feel welcome,” she says. “That’s always been my bottom line goal for the look and feel of my home, and that affirmation lets me know I did my job.” With so much going on for this designer, it’s vital to have a place where she can sit, plan and decide what to work on next. And if that place also happens to be a beautiful combination of serenity and style, then so much the better. In a corner of the first floor, Breegan has carved out an office space. In her signature palette of black and white, the office features a modern secretary with plenty of storage.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Breegan Jane’s Sanctuary of Style - In a full renovation, designing a new kitchen can be one of the biggest challenges. It’s impressive then that Breegan points to it as one of the easiest parts of her remodel journey. “It wasn’t that the kitchen would be better than any other project,” she remembers, “I just knew I was not going to keep any elements of the old kitchen.” Fortunately, she had something better in mind. The white cabinetry fits seamlessly with marble flowing from countertop to wall. Breegan’s love of metallics is on full display in the kitchen accenting an amazing black oven range. Best of all, the gold range hood that sits overhead is a statement piece in the room. No surprise then that it was all part of the plan from the beginning. “It was the part of the home I saw most clearly in my mind’s eye when I entered the room.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Breegan Jane’s Sanctuary of Style - Home is a mindset – and a reflection. After divorce Breegan has cultivated an environment that prioritized her and her children's peace. Taking everything  that she's been through as a lesson, Breegan has created a new space that reflects what she's learnt from the hard times. The process may be painful, but there is something redemptive in the work. “It may not feel likely while you’re in the process,” she says, “but trust me: happiness really does exist in your life after divorce. Hold onto that, and persevere.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - The Global Interior of Huda Hashim &amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>After years of questioning what her Sudanese heritage meant to her, in 2018, Huda’s connection with Sudan strengthened as she watched the east African nation’s cultural revolution unfold on television from her residence in Texas. In order to connect with a movement she desperately wanted to be a part of, Huda began creating art portraying iconic events from the revolution. Her most famous piece, “Street Spirit,” depicts the role of women in the cultural movement.  The impact of the work was so profound that it became a cover image for Britain’s nearly 200-year-old daily periodical, The Guardian. And in 2022, she was invited by iconic American furniture brand, Crate &amp; Barrel, to release an exclusive collection of her contemporary paintings inspired by her Sudanese heritage.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - The Global Interior of Huda Hashim &amp;nbsp; - Extending from the living room, the contemporary, streamlined elegance of Huda’s  dining room blends modern aesthetics with nods to her past. “This room was inspired by historic  Sudanese palaces with red marble and sculptures,” she explains. At its center, the statuesque marble table,  a 1970s European design purchased from a local vintage seller, was a perfect choice to create a space with a mix of cultures. “I love mixing African and European themes in this space,” she explains. “The  juxtaposition of cultures, shapes and materials creates eye-pleasing and balanced  compositions.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>Sidling up to the kitchen, Huda nominates the breakfast room as one of the most  used spaces of the house. “This is the room we use the most for eating, homework and art  projects,” she offers. Designed specifically to be visually cohesive with the living room, the real benefit, Huda says, is in its logistical value. “My breakfast room is cozy, clean and most  importantly kid friendly,” she smiles. “The CB2 Lola table has been a game changer for my  family of 4.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - The Global Interior of Huda Hashim &amp;nbsp;</image:title>
      <image:caption>In every corner of her home, Huda weaves together the threads of a life lived across borders, cultures, and histories. Her interiors, like her paintings, are deeply personal landscapes, blending memory, heritage, and modernity. Whether through a vintage marble table or a brushstroke on canvas, Huda rejects narrow definitions of identity that are so often prescribed, creating a living, breathing space that mirrors the totality of her life -  born in England, raised in Saudi Arabia, an American of Sudanese heritage.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Inside Nicole Taylor’s Mid-Century Modern Home - The bathroom also features custom pieces by the designer. “We added classic white subway tiles in the shower and beautiful mint green penny tile on the floor. We wanted something fun and memorable in this bathroom so I designed a custom yellow floating vanity.” Hidden drawers give easy access to all the essentials while maintaining a streamlined look. “It’s a ‘wild card’ piece with an interesting organic shape and lots of texture that completely makes the space,” says Naïka.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - India and Tep’s Staten Island Home is Rooted in Culture - Design as Daily Ritual</image:title>
      <image:caption>India and Tep’s home doesn’t follow a formula. Each space reflects a layer of their story, a fusion of cultural memory, emotional resonance, and functionality. In the dining room, pink walls wrap the space in warmth. “I wanted it to feel like a French parlor,” India says. “Something sexy, something feminine.” She chose a soft, dusty blush paint and paired it with gold accessories and a standout juju hat sourced from Dance Africa. The seating area, a built-in banquette made from flipped IKEA shelves, adds a cozy, lounge-like feel. “People sit there and don’t want to leave.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Every piece in the home holds meaning. In the dining room, a framed photo shows India’s father holding a fan from their wedding—a custom favor embellished with flowers and signed by guests. “He was a photographer and videographer. We lost him in 2020, but his work is still all around us. It keeps him with us.” A dancer photo he captured hangs in the living room gallery wall. Other standout pieces include a sculpture gifted by their niece from Cartagena, a joyful Buddha from Martha’s Vineyard (a place they visit yearly), and a cross purchased during an anniversary trip to Puerto Rico. “We collect things that reflect joy, spirit, and where we’ve been together.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - Paul R. Williams: Classic Hollywood Style</image:title>
      <image:caption>Known as “Hollywood’s Architect,” Paul Revere Williams was one of America’s preeminent architectural minds. For six decades, the pioneering architect crafted homes for America’s celebrity elite, from Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra to Denzel Washington. The first African American member of the American Institute of Architects, Williams mastered a variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, French Normandy, Spanish Mediterranean and English Tudor as well as the California ranch style for which he became so well known by Hollywood’s movers and shakers. Written by his granddaughter, Karen Hudson, this book is a tour of his most amazing projects and of the life of a luminary in the African American community of the 20th century. By Karen E.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - Black Landscapes Matter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just as with Black lives, the words “Black Landscapes Matter “ are as likely to be taken as a question as a statement in contemporary American society. Noted landscape designer and public artist Walter Hood takes up the question, presenting a selection of essays that tour American history, memory and psychology, tracing the vital importance of Black landscapes through time and space from the Carolinas to New Orleans and Detroit, Michigan. Acknowledging the patterns of oppression, omission and obfuscation that so often remove Black contributions from retellings of the American story, this collection recalls the ways in which Black people have built America, often in spite of itself, through the creativity of the designers, planners, artists, and residents who have shaped these crucial spaces one at a time.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - The Spirit of African Design</image:title>
      <image:caption>An absolute classic of the genre, written by groundbreaking interior designers, Sharne Algotsson and Denys Davis, The Spirit of African Design eschews stereotypes and misrepresentations to provide an illustrated guide to living in African-inspired style. Tour after tour offers gorgeous photos of beautiful homes designed with culture and expression in mind. Far from the typical “Bo-Ho” approach, this book is not a grab-bag of African fetishes. Rather, its thoughtful exploration of African cultures — from the souks and Medinas of Morocco to the coasts of South Africa — that offers substantial cultural and historical information aimed at inspiring those looking to live meaningfully in the homes they create.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - Style and Grace: African Americans at Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>With so much of the representation of Black homes in American pop culture relegated to depictions of poverty and the inner city, Michael Henry Adams’ 2003 book, Style and Grace, is an authentic breath of fresh air. Showcasing the stylish, elegant, and unique homes of famous and notable African Americans from Gordon Parks to Russell Simmons and scholar and curator Sylvia H. Williams, this book displays the full diversity of African American design while giving unprecedented access to the homes of some of America’s most influential people.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - Iconic Home: Interiors, Advice and Stories from 50 Amazing Black Designers</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s hard to overstate the importance of representation. In fields where it’s lacking, such as interior design, it is easy for Black professionals to feel alone, even when they very much are not. Into this gap steps the non-profit organization, Black Interior Designers, Inc., with the book Iconic Home: Interiors, Advice and Stories from 50 Amazing Black Designers, led by June Reese. The book profiles dozens of successful and iconic Black interior designers, from Jason Bolden and Bridgid Coulter Cheadle to Corey Damen Jenkins, Forbes Masters, and Brigette Romanek. Offering an honest account of the trials and triumphs of being a Black designer, along with business advice, design philosophies and images from the amazing portfolio of each designer, this book single-handedly strikes a blow for representation of Black creatives in the design field, making it clear that Black people do design and do it well.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - Julian Abele: Architect and the Beaux Arts</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’ve ever cheered Rocky as he ran up the Philadelphia Art Museum steps on screen, or done it yourself in person, you know the work of Julian Abele. Born into a wealthy African American family in late 19th century Philadelphia, Abele became the first graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s architecture program in 1902. From there he began a wildly successful career, eventually taking over one of the nation’s most prestigious firms and designing the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Free Library, the Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University and much of Duke University. Julian Abele, Architect and the Beaux Arts details the life of one of America’s most important architects, and a career that added more than 200 buildings to the American landscape.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living With Less</image:title>
      <image:caption>This quirky, personal reflection on one woman’s journey to living with less without losing herself is an important corrective for anyone who instinctively thinks of minimalism as white walls and barren rooms or as something unrelated to the peoples and cultures of the African Diaspora. With inspiration drawn from her own experiences and insights drawn from her extensive education in African and Africana studies, lawyer and author Christine Platt — the Managing Director of the Antiracist Research &amp; Policy Center at American University — offers an alternative view of the minimalist lifestyle and another way to live it. Accompanied by appropriately understated black-and-white illustrations, Platt situates “history and heritage” as the things that we can’t do without, and “clutter” as everything that stands in the way of us authentically experiencing ourselves through our own lens. The result is more than a guide to buying less or discarding more, it’s a sensitive and intentional exploration of the social norms and early experiences that make so many of us maximalists in the first place.

A history book and ethnography as well as a design survey, the book explores American history from Emancipation to the advent of COVID-19, citing the many obstacles that have been placed in the path of Black homeowners, from corporate redlining to governmental redistricting and urban renewal. The homes featured give a human face to this history as each “story of home” connects to moments in history, with analysis that sheds light on the tangible economic costs and motivations behind the hindrance of Black homeownership and the many triumphs and joys of Black life at home.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Books That Look At Architecture &amp;amp; Design Through a Black Lens - African American Architects: A Biographical Dictionary, 1865-1945</image:title>
      <image:caption>The continued importance of Black History Month lies in the number of us who remain unaware of the diversity of the African American experience or the myriad ways in which it has worked to build the nation as we know it today. Part of that unremembered history is the number of buildings from the turn of the 20th century, many still standing and in service today, that were envisioned and built by African American architects. Though virtually unknown, African American architects have been designing and building houses and public buildings since 1865. Contesting this misconception, and the mistaken idea of “who built America” that it engenders, African American Architects: A Biographical Dictionary, gathers 100 experts ranging from architectural historians to archivists, to present a single book containing 160 biographical, A-Z entries on African-American architects whose lives and careers span from the Emancipation era to the end of World War II. No architecture and design library or syllabus is complete without this important work. By Dreck Spurlock Wilson Publisher: Routledge $76.83</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Christopher John Rogers: Color from Runway to Room - The accompanying wallpapers are equally enchanting. Dot, with its playful gradient and vivid textures, Stripe, offering a bold twist on a classic pattern, and Check, featuring a clean and vibrant geometric design, all use the Carte Blanche paint colors. These patterns add depth and dimension, transforming any space into a canvas of color and creativity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>With this collection, Rogers is breaking new ground in more than just his own career. He is one of the few Black designers worldwide to helm a paint line, proudly following brands such as AphroChic and Clare. His collaboration with Farrow &amp; Ball marks only the second guest designer in the brand’s seventy-seven-year history, following the renowned Kelly Wearstler.

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Nina Barnieh-Blair Upgrades A Cozy New York Apartment - Furniture in the living room was kept intentionally sparse by the designer, both to create the feeling of serene minimalism that permeates and opens the space, and to accommodate her client’s active yoga practice. But when every piece in a room makes a statement, you really don’t need that much. Further emphasizing this point is the gorgeous Peca's Rima Credenza from 1stDibs. Coupled with the eye-catching woven art piece, Hiroko Takeda’s Yellowbird IV, it’s a combination that skillfully adds color, texture and pattern to the space, while deepening its relaxed and meditative feel.  Though there were areas that required more work and attention, overall the living room stands out as one of the designers favorite spaces in the project. “I love the living space,” she confesses. “I was really happy about how a small room that has to function as living space, entertaining space and working space, ended up working perfectly for each, and felt much bigger than its dimensions. Every single piece we selected was chosen with this multi-functionality in mind.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Nina Barnieh-Blair Upgrades A Cozy New York Apartment - On the other side of the island, Nina skillfully blended the functional needs of a kitchen with the established aesthetics of the home within the limited space allowed. The red knobs of the oven offer a bit of color in the space, contrasting the matte black faucet and drawer pulls. The drawers and cabinetry of the room seem to fade into the walls, highlighted by the marble backsplash, another subtle hint of color and pattern that keeps the space interesting despite its adherence to a minimalist perspective.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Nina Barnieh-Blair Upgrades A Cozy New York Apartment - In a home committed to tranquility, it’s no surprise that the bedroom would be a point of emphasis. Maintaining the white walls that cover the rest of the home, this room contrasts them with strong, colorful bedding and geometric patterns through a vintage Kente cloth from Sunday Shop. The space is further defined by the Kalon Simple Bed in Ash, its natural materials further contributing to the serene and calm feel of the space. “Custom narrow floating bedside tables in white oak finishes complement the limited color palette and maximize space in the cozy bedroom,” Nina adds.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Alvin Wayne Designs A Family-Friendly Soho Loft - Loft living has long been acknowledged for offering a number of benefits. Most of them revolve around the joys of open floor plans. This kitchen is a perfect example of those pleasures. Simple and unimposing yet sleek and functional, the open plan lets this space breathe, while keeping it connected to the rest of the home — a good idea when little ones are about. Best of all, the long divider, which doubles on one side as a cooktop and a bar on the other, offers substantial space for seating, ensuring that the kitchen will stay the life of any party.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Alvin Wayne Designs A Family-Friendly Soho Loft - Bedrooms are meant for relaxing, and this one expresses that beautifully. Boasting a more subdued and minimalist aesthetic than much of the rest of the home, the main bedroom lacks none of the beauty and style. The floral pattern of the black-and-cream rug is reflected and refracted in the geometric pattern of the blue-and-cream bedding. Behind the bed, a single, tasteful art piece is given a pseudo-gallery wall treatment, hung slightly right of center in a painted, circular “spotlight.” This is SoHo-style nirvana.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Eva and Cory’s San Francisco Victorian Dream Home - Fittingly for the heart of the home, the house’s front doors open into the open plan kitchen. Light and airy, the quintessentially California-style kitchen is another of Eva’s favorite design destinations. “The flamed black granite countertop is lined with Thomas Hayes’ Iron and Rolled stools—a convenient spot for the kids to sit for breakfast, lunch and snacks,” she muses. But the updates aren’t purely aesthetic. As a mom of two, there’s a purpose behind every addition in this room. “With 2 kids, a dog, and 2 working parents, the flows and schedules of each person is taken into consideration,” she explains. “There is a custom cabinet in the kitchen that serves as our breakfast center with coffee and morning staples where the kids can help themselves to cereal.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Eva and Cory’s San Francisco Victorian Dream Home - The oasis status that Eva confers on her bedroom extends equally into the main bath. A specifically minimalist space, the bathroom is hailed by the designer as her, “streamlined retreat and self-care haven.” The modern, sharp-angled tub combined with darkly tiled floors and a solitary, marble side table is comforting in its simplicity and its serenity. Still, despite the effectiveness of the room’s austerity, it’s one flourish, a line of colorful lip art tracing down the wall, ranks high on Eva’s list of favorite things.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Eva and Cory’s San Francisco Victorian Dream Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>If the main bath is Eva’s sanctuary, then Cory’s is most certainly his art studio. Built around a custom “cleat wall” that he built himself, the feature doubles as both storage space and display area. Equally visible among its holdings are the various tools of Cory’s trade — brushes, smocks and cameras — along with inspirational pieces, like a pair of sneakers or a toy car. Also on display is the wide variety of the artist’s subject matter, with pieces depicting everything from a box of Chinese food to pop-culture legends like Michael Jordan and painter, Bob Ross.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Hana Getachew: Life on the Bolé Road - “This place came fully furnished,” she shrugs, “which makes sense because who would want to furnish a home for just a year’s stay?” Still, living in a home built around someone else’s aesthetic took some getting used to. “I almost vetoed this apartment because of the oxblood sectional in the family room,” she laughs. “It's just not my vibe.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>The vibe that Hana left in Brooklyn is a highly curated mix of modern design, Ethiopian culture and family heirlooms. “Incorporating my culture and my heritage has always been a part of the spaces I've lived in.” Coming to London meant leaving some of her favorite things behind. “One of the most important pieces to me,” she lists, “is this kind of lopsided, off kilter, hide skin table from my parents home. I also have beautiful rugs that I found in Morocco. And I have a gallery wall of baskets. I incorporate a basket wall in every apartment that I live in.” Once Brian convinced her that a disagreeable sofa shouldn’t come between them and the perfect place, Hana got to work bringing in just enough design to make London feel like home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Hana Getachew: Life on the Bolé Road - Down the stairs from the living rooms, another open space is home to the kitchen, dining room and an atrium leading to a beautiful outdoor seating area. Like the upstairs, Hana recognized a hot/cool dichotomy in the design plan, this time spread across the kitchen and dining room. “The kitchen’s cool cabinets, subtle blue tint and marble backsplash and shelf completely offsets the intense warmth of the dining area,” she says. Though in her heart it’s the bright colors of the dining room she really loves. “These amazing orange chairs just sing to me.” Together, the two spaces are the most popular part of the house, where the family spends most of its time. It’s proven to be ideal for spending time together. “Our New York home really made it easy to eat in front of the TV,” Hana says. “But here, with the living room upstairs, we just cook and eat, do work and homework downstairs. And there’s a playroom just down the hall.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Hana Getachew: Life on the Bolé Road - Even with all of its other amenities, Hana admits that it was the bedrooms this home had to offer that made it her choice - especially the one for her daughter, Gelila. The pretty, pink interior features several built-in sleeping spaces as well as a whimsical hanging light pendant and pompom-styled wall art. In her own bedroom, Hana’s textiles infuse similar pops of pink to energize the largely neutral color palette. There, the main attraction for Hana isn’t the room itself, but the room it’s attached to. “The master bath is one of my top three rooms here,” she grins. With an impressive list of features including a stand-alone tub, heated floors and towel rack and walnut cabinets along with a cool sounding name - “They call [master bathrooms] ‘ensuites’ here,” she informs - the bathroom is one of the things Hana says she’ll find hardest to leave behind when their time in London is through. “I don't know if I'll ever have any of these again,” she frets.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Malcolm Simmons: A Designer’s Stylish Abode - The bedroom is a beautiful example of Malcolm’s design style, which he describes as “classic, collected, and tailored.” The room is a treasure trove of subtly blended colors and textures, fit together as neatly as the lines of a bespoke suit. A lover of vintage finds and DIY projects, Malcolm has woven both elements throughout the space. Admitting that the eye-catching headboard wall that he created behind his bed was one of his most challenging projects, he just as quickly points it out as one of the most rewarding. “In my mind,” he confesses, “there's nothing particularly easy about  a space for yourself!”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Malcolm Simmons: A Designer’s Stylish Abode - Even more than colors and furnishings, one of the most calming elements to include in a room are simple and familiar things that have a story you love. For Malcolm, the unofficial center of his bedroom is his nightstand. ‘“It’s one of my favorite pieces,” he smiles. “It has been passed throughout my family for decades and my grandmother used to use it as a sewing desk. I feel grateful to have it in my space now.” In a space that he was designing to help keep anxiety at bay, the table is a perfect finishing touch, one that helped Malcolm reach his goals for the room and for himself. “In designing a room that is calming, highly intentional, and utilizes both DIY and heirloom pieces to feel truly unique to me, I confronted some of the anxieties of 2020 and largely overcame them,” Malcolm reflects.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Malcolm Simmons: A Designer’s Stylish Abode - Just remodeled at the beginning of 2022, the office is one of the spaces Malcolm is most excited about, especially because it pushed him to make so many “risky” design choices. One of these is this close-up neon replica of Michelangelo’s David. This piece was so central to Malcolm’s vision for this space that it even appears on his mood board. A brightly-hued contrast to the deep and moody wall color, this modern take on a classic image is the perfect notes of fun that every home office needs.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Heavenly Gaines’ Modern Brooklyn Apartment - Beyond the furniture, the star of this room is its use of color, beginning with the striking black walls. “Black makes a statement,” the designer opines. “Any color set against it instantly pops.” For Heavenly, choosing the right shade took a bit of work. “My biggest challenge was selecting the shade of black that would work well in my living room. I get great natural light so I choose Benjamin Moore's Black Beauty which has a red hue that gives warmth.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Heavenly Gaines’ Modern Brooklyn Apartment - One last corner of the living room houses a small home office from which Heavenly plans her projects. Taking advantage once again of the color-boosting power of her black walls, Heavenly opts for the simple-yet-striking pairing of her dark walls with the natural wood tones found in the shelving, desk, chair and, of course, the floor. The feeling of nature is soothing, augmented with the addition of a glass vase holding banana leaf palms. Completing the scene, the shelves are stylishly arrayed with glassware, vases and other curios.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Joy Williams Designs A Stunning Vacation Retreat - 600 square feet may not sound like much, but when it comes to making a statement, Joy takes full advantage of every inch - and the message is comfort. “The living room is fresh and has a modern traditionalist bent,” she starts. “We wanted to keep it open and comfy.” She succeeded by keeping the colors light and neutral and the seating deep and inviting. “The custom sofa bed pulls out to reveal a king bed,” she reveals.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Chanae Richards: A Country-Style Retreat in Philadelphia - The sun room is a signature design feature of Philadelphia’s classic row homes. Essentially a large vestibule separating the front door and the living room, it can be designed to function as its own room or used as a transitional space. Here, with a beautiful wooden bench and a stylish floral vignette in front of a striking black and white art piece, Chanae is keeping things simple and elegant while setting the stage for what’s to come.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Chanae Richards: A Country-Style Retreat in Philadelphia - Renovating the house from the space her last tenant lived in into the home she currently enjoys has taken about a year. The kitchen, which was originally designed with prospective tenants in mind, is one of the few spaces left unmodified, yet it still fits perfectly with the aesthetic of the home. Rustic elements, like sacks used as window coverings, complete the look and feel of a modern, country getaway</image:title>
      <image:caption>Upstairs, Chanae puts each bedroom to a specific use. Her middle room is part home office, part meditation room. Mint green furnishings and forest green walls allow for fresh, open environment. Devoid of unnecessary clutter, the floor remains open for yoga practice, reading, and providing the designer with a quiet place to think.</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Stephanie Watkins: A Colorful Maryland Paradise - “As a Caribbean gal, I like bold colors, powerful patterns, and a tropical flair achieved with plants,” Stephanie explains. On her blog, she describes her personal style as, “Glo-bo,” pairing a modern Bohemian aesthetic with infusions of global style. This corner of the living room says it even better. Textured walls and a modern table paired with woven baskets, global textiles and a colorful Persian-style rug gives us Stephanie’s “Glo-bo” style in one beautiful moment.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Stephanie Watkins: A Colorful Maryland Paradise - The process of designing a home never ends. There’s always the next space that could use a little touch-up or a whole new look. For Stephanie, the sunroom was her most recent makeover. Doubling as a playroom for the kids, this family-oriented room is a wonderful in-between space that lets the family enjoy elements of being outside and inside together. “I love when we open the windows and allow the cool breeze to filter in,” she muses. “The bright colors in this room are great to inspire the kids when they make their art.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Marie Cox: A Modern Ranch House In Raleigh - Marie describes her home’s aesthetic as, “eclectic and modern with a layered, global feel.” This eye-catching bar area encapsulates all of that in one small space. Classic kitchen elements like the freestanding shelves and stainless steel range hood are paired with cute, modern features like the felt, pink bar stools. On the outer wall, one of Marie’s prized paintings adorns the wall, grounding the airy space in a sophisticated and soulful cultural perspective. “My heritage and my love for my people are what stands out the most in my home,” she says. “When you walk in this house you know that Black people live here.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Marie Cox: A Modern Ranch House In Raleigh - Marie first moved in to this home with her three kids and their dog. Today, with only one of the kids still at home, she’s put the extra space in the house to good use. The guest bedroom is the perfect moment of tranquility to offer to weary guests. The pink and white color palette, headlined by the colorful feature wall behind the bed, is at once energizing and relaxing. Adding wood slats to create pattern on the main wall was a brilliant DIY, giving unexpected texture and depth to the room while playing with the similar patterns of the rug.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Marie Cox: A Modern Ranch House In Raleigh - Even though Marie concedes that most of the work was done within two years of her family moving into this home, for her, the renovation is still ongoing. One of the most recent additions is this Japanese-style soaking tub - a fantastic outdoor complement to her indoor fitness room. “I love that my house has such personality,” she reflects. “It’s super inviting and cozy.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Sarai Reed’s Cozy DC Apartment Is Big on Style - The home’s living room has a unique feature - two-tone walls. “Our two-toned living room paint job is what most people notice first about our living space,” remarks Sarai when discussing the black-and-white walls that extend from the living area into the hallway. “After that [they notice] the hexagon bookshelves. Both add depth and charm to an otherwise plain, square room.” The hexagon shelves make a statement over the intimate dining area that’s been carved out in the space.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Sarai Reed’s Cozy DC Apartment Is Big on Style - Sarai describes her design aesthetic as “green, mid-century and minimal”. All three elements comes together in the living area. Sarai’s love of plants is on full display, with plants filling every corner of the home. The mid-century credenza adds a vintage touch to the living room, and wood details that can be spotted throughout the home. “My absolute favorite piece of all time is an authentic Broyhill credenza that we use as a media cabinet. I bought it on Craigslist years ago. It’s beautiful and well-made and I plan on keeping it forever.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Sarai Reed’s Cozy DC Apartment Is Big on Style - Sarai’s favorite room in the home is the kitchen. “It took a long time to renovate the kitchen,” she shares. “More specifically, it took a long time to convince myself that I deserved a new kitchen. I love to cook and entertain and our old set up could not accommodate that. So this is an investment that made sense for us.”  To keep with the minimalist theme of the home, the kitchen features a relaxing white color palette with wood accents. A white tile wall adds a layer of pattern to the space. And framed art provides a unique touch to the kitchen wall.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - David Quarles: An Artsy Memphis Interior - “Although it came with its challenges the gym was the easiest space in my home to design,” David explains. “I knew exactly how I wanted the space to look, feel, and how it needed to work for me.” In addition to designing jewelry and interiors, David is also an enthusiastic Zumba instructor. The details of his personal fitness routine even played a role in determining the design of the space. “I took into account the path the sun takes over that portion of my property and how I wanted it to shine on me as I completed my morning stretches,” he says. “That determined the window placement in the design. I also painted the IV - my suffix - on the wall my participants see while I teach my Zumba classes.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Anthony Dunning’s Designer Pad In The Bronx - Anthony wasted no time in putting his stamp on the new home. “All of the modifications were done at once and completed in a two-month span,” he remembers “Initially the apartment was four bedrooms. There was an additional bedroom on the upper level of the townhouse next to the living room, which was modified to expand the living room area. Doing that doubled the size of the living room.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Anthony Dunning’s Designer Pad In The Bronx - “Urban-cool luxury with a bit of edge,” is how Dunning describes his unique approach to interior design. The style expresses itself in his home in an explosion of colors, textures and types of objects so densely layered that any corner of any room could take hours of study to fully appreciate. The far end of his living room is a perfect example. The patterns of the wallpaper on the wall and in the alcove complement each other, but are contrasted by the orderly striped pattern of the vase in the alcove. At the same time, the soft textures of the blanket and pillows is contrasted by the hard, rocky facade of the text art above the sofa. This expert play with textures and patterns is on display throughout the entire home.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Anthony Dunning’s Designer Pad In The Bronx - Dunning explains that he has no one favorite room in his home, with each one having a unique feature or use that he loves. “I specifically designed each space to cater to the different needs in my life,” he continues. He designed the guest bedroom to evoke a combination of nature and luxury. Combining plants both real and depicted with a sun-like pendant overhead, with a gold-colored poster bed complete with Versace and black fur blankets. It’s a perfect escape, as the designer expresses, “I love the guest room when I want to be a little more secluded without too much sunlight in the morning.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Anthony Dunning’s Designer Pad In The Bronx - Though he claims not to have a favorite room, the bedroom might just edge out all the others for the part of the home nearest to his heart. “I love my bedroom for the days when I just want to relax and stay in bed,” he confesses. “It’s definitely my zen haven.” That might be why he found the space so easy to decorate. Or it may have been the room’s natural appeal. “The bedroom gets a tremendous amount of sunlight throughout the day and especially in the morning,” he adds.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Michelle and Forrest’s Vibrant Atlanta Wonderland - For Michelle and Forrest, finding the right balance for their home was as simple as expressing their professional collaboration in a physical space; a combination they call, “Maximalist Modernism.” Tropico Photo itself is a combination of Michelle’s love of colors and Forrest’s fascination with shapes and lines.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Michelle and Forrest’s Vibrant Atlanta Wonderland - Michelle reveals that, “Since the condo is a very open concept, we had to do the work of making sure that the palettes of the different rooms played well together. They’re each distinct, but they make sense cohesively.” When splitting a small space into distinct “rooms,” there’s no space for walls, so divisions have to be made more subtly. For Michelle and Forrest, color is the biggest way of showing the transition from one space to the next, but small physical divisions, like this colorful, blue partition that doubles as a bookshelf helps make the point as well. It shows the level of work and thought that went into designing this part of the home. As Michelle remembers, “The transitional spaces between rooms were some of the most challenging parts of the design.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Michelle and Forrest’s Vibrant Atlanta Wonderland - The bold colors don’t stop on the walls for this creative couple. They extend all the way into the closet as well. Colors explode from this closet in many of the same shades that make up the home. Bright blues and yellows, warm oranges, and even a bit of royal purple all make an appearance, leaving guests to wonder whether it was the clothes that inspired the home or the other way around. Either way, when asked about their favorite thing about their home decor or their fashion sense, this couple’s answer is the same: “The color-blocking.”</image:title>

      <image:caption>Finding room to seat six around a dining table is a challenge in just about any New York apartment. Leyden, however remembers the dining room as being one of the easiest rooms to design. The live-in art gallery feel of the home continues in this space with pieces on display on every wall and the cute ceramic banana centerpiece on the table. Though directly connected to the living room, the dining room feels distinct and separate, which is an intentional result of the design. “It’s all one space,” Leyden maintains, “with visual links and details to designate one area from the other.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Beautiful Embrace: Inside the LA Home of Model and Activist Nikia Phoenix - “Black Girl Beautiful came about because of both inspirational and economic reasons,” Nikia relates. “I read all these consumer reports that validated what I already knew - African American women far outspend women of other ethnicities on beauty products. I wondered how we could drop so much money and not have more beauty brands cater to us? Then the self-love aspect came in. Why do we really spend so much? Are we trying to fix something about ourselves?”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ultimately Nikia decided that the only thing in need of fixing was anything that denied Black women the opportunity to see themselves as beautiful or convinced them that to be beautiful meant covering themselves in the artificial. Most of all, she rejects the notion that there is only one way to be a Black woman. “We have to celebrate our individuality and differences while also recognizing our oneness. We are here for the everyday Black girl, the round-the-way girl, the awkward Black girl, the alternative Black girl, and more. African American women are not monolithic, one dimensional characters. We’re real people. The more we acknowledge that while still shining our light, the better we will be.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Beautiful Embrace: Inside the LA Home of Model and Activist Nikia Phoenix</image:title>
      <image:caption>Throughout the home, Nikia is intentional in her use of art. Art punctuates the space with visual reminders affirming beauty, self-care and positive thinking. Perhaps her most creative space is the moodboard that occupies the wall just above the computer in her office. A constantly-changing cloud of images and notes, pages clipped from magazines or words of affirmation, this space is the nerve center of her creativity and the inspiration for her collection. “I appreciate that every inch of my home looks like a vision board complete with inspirational images and words,” she says. “I love the artwork in my home from the black cat canvas to the ‘self love’ art. It’s a mix of abstract with fun and a pop of color.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - TaLaya and Kerrick’s Pattern-Filled North Carolina Home - The family rooms brings together the elements of the living room along with a few touches all its own. Pattern continues to be front and center in a big way and on the sofa a bold mix of African textiles is represented. The rug in this room is Moroccan, a reflection of one of TaLaya’s major cultural design inspirations. The storage console is filled with woven baskets, adding one more storage option while keeping the woven element as part of the room. On the walls, the patterned wall art seen in other rooms is joined by a few photos of the happy couple for an even more personal touch.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - TaLaya and Kerrick’s Pattern-Filled North Carolina Home - In the bedroom, the neutral color palette that has flowed throughout the house gets a dramatic and moody twist with a black feature wall. The juxtaposition of black and white on the walls is mirrored by their interplay in the patterned rug on the floor. Between the two, the white color of the bedding and Juju hat becomes a single massive pop of color that defines the room. Beyond that, all of the favorites from earlier rooms are here, from the mud cloth patterned textiles, to the woven basket feature on the walls. The use of color, pattern and texture throughout this house is wonderful, but its biggest design strength is in its level of cohesion, which sees the same elements recurring in different ways from room to room to create an integrated whole that is a uniquely personal statement.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Kalyn Chandler: Live-Work Luxe in New York City - The shelves that make up most of the office space are a brilliant way to keep everything that a business requires neatly compartmented and within arms reach. But there’s more to this design than convenient storage. Kalyn’s office is not just a masterpiece of efficiency, it’s a study in color theory as well. Colorful bursts dot the landscape of this office, with Kalyn keeping the brightest, most energizing tones of orange and pink closest to her.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Kalyn Chandler: Live-Work Luxe in New York City - In a city famous for its creative use of small spaces, the main bedroom is surprisingly cavernous. Sculptural lighting, warm, textured rugs and a commitment to interesting art place this room firmly within the stylish context of the rest of the home. Offering nearly as much space as their living room, the couple’s bedroom is likewise divided into two spaces - the bedroom itself, and a beautiful lounge area complete with sofa, pouf and entertainment center.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Kalyn Chandler: Live-Work Luxe in New York City - Small, artistically rendered messages are the cornerstone of Effie’s Paper. Kalyn finds ways to offer words of encouragement on everything from notebooks to oversized travel mugs, so it only makes sense that she would reserve a few words for her own space as well.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Kelley Carter’s Fashion Forward Interior - Kelley has made every room in this home work, with no space left unused or unoccupied. In the bedroom, a home office has been carved out. A writer and editor who works from home, the office was a necessary space. Kelley made it her own with a custom piece that makes an absolute statement. The desk was a design by her and a friend. Powder coated in hot pink, the thin modern legs are a beautiful touch. The additional furnishings create a mix of genres, with a Louis XIV chair and a gold baroque mirror that hangs above the ultra-modern desk. Kelley opted for painting the desk a vibrant hot pink. The shade really pops against an industrial brick wall in the bedroom. To finish the piece, black paint was added to the glass top. The desk is accessorized with favorite pieces for organization and some priceless works of art. The ceramic ashtray is by the father of the Japanese neo-Pop movement, Yoshitomo Nara.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Kelley Carter’s Fashion Forward Interior - Even in the kitchen, art is on display. A pop art vignette in primary colors of red, blue and yellow makes a statement in the kitchen. The bust is a feminine piece of art. Directly adjacent to it, a rare work, a pitcher by Kara Walker made in collaboration with Bernardaud is on display. A finishing touch, The I Love New York Ceramic Cup, is a celebration of the work of Milton Glasser who first developed the logo for the city in 1975.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - The New Bohemian Home of Justina Blakeney - “We travelled extensively as kids,” she remembers. “The most memorable trips for me were a monthlong stay in Indonesia, many summer trips to Mexico and the year we spent living in Switzerland when I was 13. I also spent seven years living in Italy in my 20’s and I think that traveling, living in different places, learning different languages and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone also helps with my creativity.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - The New Bohemian Home of Justina Blakeney - “Think warm and open, casual and rustic,” she advises. “Earthy, sunbaked tones, burnt oranges of the [Sahara], warm taupes of the [Mojave] with accents of cactus green and stone gray,” are the colors that define this environment. The result is a study in neutrals and textures with whites and wood tones blended with a variety of browns and frequent pops of lively green.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Tanika And Brian’s Home In The Clouds - Storage is key in every home as is a good dose of creativity. This built-in bookshelf was a DIY project by the couple to create an architectural feature in the home. The finished product was painted black to add a touch of sophistication and contrast to the shelves which hold a fun assortment of small accessories and pieces picked up on travels in Paris, the Netherlands and Japan.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Tanika And Brian’s Home In The Clouds - To the left of the bed, a small astronaut figurine holds another wedding memory, pressed flowers from the wedding table. Incorporating art and accessories from important places and events is the best way to create a space that is full of meaning and connection. And adding unexpected moments like an astronaut on the bedside table helps create a fun and relaxed atmosphere that feels like home.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Tanika And Brian’s Home In The Clouds - Opposite the bed, a large art display hangs over the dresser. The paintings - a series created by Tanika’s talented younger cousin - depicts all the members of the household including the couple’s puppy. Artwork that reiterates Tanika’s conviction that art “should be things you love and people you love.”</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Designer Dani Arps’ Harlem Apartment - Located just steps from Central Park, Dani’s apartment building is part of the historic landscape that makes New York one of the world’s truly iconic cities. Getting it was a dream. Finding it however, was a challenge. “I searched for three months,” she remembers, “and looked at about one hundred places before I finally found this apartment from a listing on Craigslist.” In the end, Dani found herself living in Harlem. The site of the famous Black Renaissance of the 1920s, the creative spirit of that time continues to thrive in the neighborhood, not only in the spirit of talented creatives like Arps herself, but in the buildings that artists both then and now call home.</image:title>

      <image:title>INTERIOR DESIGN - Designer Dani Arps’ Harlem Apartment - On the walls, works by Dani and her partner Billy can be spotted throughout the space.  The two artists collaborate on their site, Femme and Fellow, which features Dani’s figure studies and watercolors alongside Billy’s abstract pieces. “I had art before I had furniture,” she laughs. “I think it's good for everything in a home, whether artwork or furniture, to influence each other. For my bedroom, I started with the wall color, bed and bedding, then later created the watercolor paintings to accent the suzani throw.”</image:title>

      <image:title>FASHION - Yrbenka Arthus: Feel the Unreal with Nike Air Max Dn - Community is Yrbenka’s business and a lifelong joy. As a Community Manager for Corporate Engagement, bringing people together is what she does. But it goes much deeper than that. Childhood memories full of large family gatherings mark the starting point of a love of connecting people and celebrating life's vibrancy. Growing up, Yrbenka learned to balance  a curious and adventurous spirit with the responsibilities of being the eldest of three siblings. “More than anything, being the oldest has always just made me a bit of a leader,” she recalls. “I've basically always had mentees, and I've always tried to create a path for myself to inspire them. That’s been a lot of the guiding force behind what has pushed me — especially career wise.” The daughter of immigrants, Yrbenka’s parents adamantly provided her with the freedom to explore various interests, resulting in forays into fashion and journalism during her college years. There, her passions entwined, igniting a fascination with media, photography, blogging, and the impact of events. </image:title>
      <image:caption>Easing into the day’s tasks amid the growing buzz of the neighborhood, Yrbenka settles over a cup of her favorite lemon-ginger tea in a quiet corner of the cafe’s outdoor patio. The setting is a marked contrast to the environment she used to work in. “I have always been a part of the Employee Resource Groups at companies I’ve worked for,” she explains. “I was able to build my network through fun events so quickly. I once attended a complimentary Pusha T concert!” Though she didn’t think much of it at the time, the networking focus of these events influenced her view of what it meant to gather with people. “It became less, ‘Who did you meet?’” she reflects, “and more about ‘Who did you meet at this event who could eventually become a business partner?’”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Yrbenka Arthus: Feel the Unreal with Nike Air Max Dn - Even before her career took off, event planning and community building were already listed among Yrbenka’s superpowers. After graduation, during that tumultuous period between school and career, she found herself longing for a sense of community and support. Recognizing this might be a common need for others in her position, she launched a series of events to connect peers seeking internships and those embarking on their new careers. “I actually started doing events right out of school for people like me who were pursuing work,” she says. “A close friend and I created events for corporate creatives who didn't really fit into one box, getting together to figure out how to navigate the early stages of our careers.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>As foot traffic in and around the cafe reaches its daily high point, Yrbenka is working diligently in her corner of the patio. During a break, she takes a moment to connect with one of her more recent and unique communities: her sneaker-loving colleagues. The group blossomed from an internal social media post she published a few years ago as a newer employee seeking connection with her co-workers. From there, what began as a search for common ground with her colleagues quickly transformed into a thriving community where her fellow employees showcase their favorite kicks and nerd out on sneaker culture.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Yrbenka Arthus: Feel the Unreal with Nike Air Max Dn - “I've really had to fall back on my community,” Yrbenka confides. “I need support in some ways. I need my friend to come to the doctor with me because I get dizzy on the train.” Expanding her reliance on her own network has led Yrbenka to an even deeper understanding of community – a space for shared experiences, not just professional advancement. Now reimagining community and inclusivity in her own work, she considers introverts, neurodivergent individuals, and those facing unseen challenges, just to list a few. It’s the beginning of a new wave at the still-young Industry Link that now includes online gatherings and the more intimate evening coworking concept. “It's changed my view on how to build and maintain relationships,” she says.</image:title>

      <image:title>FASHION - Charles Harbison: Transformation, Rebirth, Re-Emergence - AC: Congratulations on the relaunch of HARBISON! Why is now the right time to start this new chapter?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CH: Damn, this is a good question. I think now is the right time because I have the right perspective. It's been, what, five years? Which is funny, because it's longer than HARBISON actually existed in New York. But it's taken that amount of time for me to get my footing in a new place, to reconfigure my perspective into one that is more honoring of myself - that is more self-protective. And then I think there are some ideas that I was navigating in the beginning stages of HARBISON that needed some maturation. And then these years “away,” have had me working for brands at different levels, working abroad in Europe, and working across different product categories. So all of this expansion has refined my design perspective and I think the years away, reminding and refining my self-sustaining nature has renewed my personal perspective. And it's coming together in a way that I think aligns with a time where people are willing to listen to ideas that I was navigating back then, but in a way that is a bit more primed now, through product and through fashion.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Charles Harbison: Transformation, Rebirth, Re-Emergence - AC: Fashion can feel really forced a lot of the time. As if everyone's always forcing it to be cool, whether or not it actually is. But when I saw you start putting out the first images of the new line on Instagram, it felt really magical. It felt organic, and very unforced. And a lot of it surrounded this concept of “her” that seems to be very much at the center of it all. So who is “her” in this collection? How are you defining that and how does it work as connection point for your audience?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CH: The great thing about that pronoun is that, as we are navigating a world that is less binary, less gendered in general, the ideas around pronouns are just far more expansive. So there are a few different answers. My primary “her” is always my mom and those matriarchs that taught me about beauty, who showed me its complexity and evolution, and how to use it as a tool. Also, because the “her” in me is reflective of their “her,” the years of understanding and nurturing those places in me that are softer, more nurturing and more feminine, has really helped round out my design perspective and my experience as a human in the world. And when I do that for myself, I'm much better at doing that for my customer base. Beyond that, the “hers” in my life, the women, the people, peers, who I find so inspiring just watching them live, watching how they navigate oppression in such a beautiful way. Seeing them be women in the world, navigating misogyny and sexism, without sacrificing those parts of themselves that the oppression targets. And then the earth, which is kind of this newer priority for me. Coming to Cali really helped remind me of who I am as a country boy and loving the earth and seeing the earth as my first canvas, my first playground. It's wonderful to remember the earth as the first and primary resource that we have and prioritizing it. It is not just cute, it is imperative. So it's all of those “hers” collectively. And I think I just noticed I was habitually aligning myself with the feminine. So I just made it a concrete decision, one that’s to the benefit of every customer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Charles Harbison: Transformation, Rebirth, Re-Emergence - AC: We’ve spoken at a number of schools and met with Black students who were studying architecture, and they were having a really tough time. In many cases we found that the school was telling them that there was no such thing as a Black architectural perspective, really trying to beat into them that their perspective was irrelevant to “real” architecture. What was it like for you studying architecture as a Black man? Was it also constraining? And is fashion less so?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CH: One-hundred percent. That was it in a nutshell. It did feel early on as if architecture required some sort of removal of identity and personal aesthetic. I didn’t feel that when I began painting and then moving into fiber arts. For one of the first projects I took on when I transitioned from architecture to textile science I was on the loom for 17 to 20 hours a day, weaving yards of fabric. And when I took this fabric, and started creating forms on the body I felt I was really trying to work through my indigenous heritage, trying to find some way to connect to that age-old process of weaving on a loom, and applying those textiles to the body in ways that were reflective of me. So it's interesting to see that the freedom of those curriculums showed up immediately in ways that affirmed my cultural identity in a way that I never was able to remotely process early in architecture.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Charles Harbison: Transformation, Rebirth, Re-Emergence - AC: Congrats on winning Banana Republic’s design competition. It sounds really exciting. How did the collaboration between Banana Republic and Harlem's Fashion Row come together? And what what are the goals for you in terms of this collaboration with them?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CH: So I think Harlem's Fashion Row and Gap Inc, had been working to establish a greater partnership. And then with Banana Republic, they decided to hold a competition, looking for a designer with whom to create a capsule collection of sustainably thoughtful pieces. And it's hilarious, because it all happened in such a weird way. I don't do competitions. Because I have lost a lot of them. And my perspective on losing them unfairly isn't based on ego, it’s based on judges coming to me, telling me about backroom deals and loyalties, people on the judging panel pulling rank and all kinds of stuff. So one of the things I decided when I decided to leave New York was that I would never compete again. But this felt different. It was being led by Harlem’s Fashion Row, and I have so much respect for Brandice, who has been an advocate for us for years. So I knew that that piece of trauma that I experienced for years wouldn't be present. And Banana Republic is an entity that I relate to. I worked there for a while in undergrad. The idea of attainable luxury is something that I adore and Banana does it in a way that gets into people's hands quickly. And sustainability was a central component.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FASHION - Charles Harbison: Transformation, Rebirth, Re-Emergence - AC: So on top of everything else you’ve just been awarded by the CFDA, which is like the ultimate moment of recognition for a designer. How are you processing this this moment?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CH: For the four years that we were doing collections, made Fashion Week, had incredible celebrity endorsements and press articles, print, digital, everything - I had no relationship with that entity, which was in essence the mother of fashion in New York. And then all of a sudden these years later, they just show up. And for us, we just wanted to know why. And when I talked to Lisa Smilor, it was really an amazing conversation because she acknowledged all of those things. And even after that conversation, I was honestly prepared to walk away. I let them know that if this comes with strings attached, I don't want it. I would rather navigate life with a tight budget and our agency intact rather than take on a grant that would force us to have to defer to an entity that my trust in had waned. But the response was that this is for you to spend in the way that you find most profitable for your business. So it feels right. And I'm grateful. And I'm excited. And it's coming at a time where we all we need it. But it's also nice to know that we genuinely deserve it. And being able to say that and know that it's coming from a place of humility, but also from a place of knowing your value, which is central to the experience of Black people in every industry. It’s very, very important for Black creatives, because we do navigate systems and dynamics that are inherently racist. And so in order to persist, and to be tenacious, you have to go back to that mirror, you have to go back to your drawing board, and look at your work daily, and know that it is better than what they are trying to tell you It is. And that if we stay true to our crafts and the reasons why we do them, eventually they catch up.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FOOD - The Contemporary African Kitchen: Cooking with Culture - What makes this recipe even more special is how it perfectly embodies the blend of Arab and African heritage. Growing up in a mixed-culture household, being both Arab and African, this blend feels like second nature to me. It’s so ingrained in my life that I can’t even differentiate which parts of me belong to which culture—it’s all one seamless experience. And that’s exactly what makes my heritage uniquely mine. This seamless blend of cultures has shaped how I see the world, and it’s a perspective that feels both deeply personal and universally significant. Egypt, often seen as the gateway between Africa and the Middle East, carries a rich cultural fusion that mirrors my own experience. Smalls’ recipe celebrates this connection, showcasing Ta’amiya as not just a dish but a symbol of shared traditions and flavors that feel both deeply familiar and profoundly special.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While I never formally learned to cook, what little I know comes from watching my mother in the kitchen. She always tasted as she went, adjusting flavors intuitively, and that’s exactly what I did with this recipe. I let my palate guide me, sampling as I cooked, and it felt like a nod to my upbringing—blending childhood nostalgia with the joy of discovering how food can tell a story of unity and heritage. Growing up, I often saw my mother using a cookbook written by a close family friend, Badeea Beyari. When she was done, she would carefully put it away, almost like it was a treasured artifact. I used to sneak a look at it when she wasn’t home, flipping through the pages, fascinated by the idea of following recipes to create something magical. I guess, in a way, I always wanted to use a cookbook, even if I didn’t know it back then. There may have been a time when Alexander Smalls never imagined he would write a cookbook, just as I never thought I’d be writing about one. Yet his life has been a remarkable blend of artistry and culinary exploration, driven by a passion for storytelling. Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Smalls grew up immersed in the Gullah Geechee culture of the South, a region rich in African American traditions that deeply influenced his understanding of food and heritage. For Smalls, food became a powerful medium for preserving legacies and sharing histories—values that, unexpectedly, I found mirrored in my own life as I embarked on this journey with his cookbook.

      <image:title>FOOD - The Contemporary African Kitchen: Cooking with Culture - Initially, Smalls pursued a career in opera, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in opera from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and continuing his training at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music. A classically trained baritone, Smalls gained international acclaim during his time with the Houston Grand Opera, where he performed in the iconic production of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. His work earned Grammy and Tony Awards in 1977, cementing his place as a prominent figure in the world of opera.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While Smalls thrived in the opera world, his passion for food was equally profound. During his time in Europe, where he toured as an opera singer, he immersed himself in the culinary arts, drawing inspiration from his travels and cultural exchanges. Food became another creative outlet, allowing him to explore his heritage and tell stories through flavors. This intersection of artistry and culture resonated deeply with me. Growing up in a mixed-culture household, with an African Arab mother and an Arab father, food was also one of the ways of experiencing my own heritage. I would watch my mother navigate the kitchen, effortlessly creating dishes my Arab friends wouldn’t recognize and sharing stories about which part of our family these recipes came from. Sometimes, I’d see her call my grandmother to double-check the details, making sure she got the recipe just right. My grandmother had her own unique blend of spices, carefully crafted for her famous dishes, and she’d stockpile them in the fridge yearly to ensure she always had them on hand. But the recipes didn’t only come from my mom; some came from my dad and his family, their flavors distinct from hers. Every so often, the unique tastes of a dish would reveal what part of my culture it came from, subtly helping me trace the origins of the meals that shaped my upbringing.

      <image:title>FOOD - The Contemporary African Kitchen: Cooking with Culture - With the release of The Contemporary African Kitchen, Smalls continues his legacy of storytelling, celebrating the rich culinary traditions of the African Diaspora. The cookbook highlights recipes from leading African chefs while delving into the cultural significance of these dishes. Through its pages, Smalls invites readers to connect with the history, flavors, and personal stories that make African cuisine a global treasure. As Smalls himself describes, the Ta’amiya recipe “captures the essence of African cooking—an intersection of tradition, flavor, and history. Made with fava beans, it carries a unique earthiness, a taste of home for many.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>For me, Smalls’ Ta’amiya is more than just a recipe—it’s a celebration of the shared history and flavors that unite Arab and African heritage. The fact that I ended up successfully making this dish—and writing about it—speaks volumes about Smalls’ brilliance as both a storyteller and a recipe curator. The recipe was simple enough for a non-cook like me to follow yet rich enough in flavor to taste as though it came from a professional chef. It serves as a powerful reminder of what cookbooks like The Contemporary African Kitchen can be used—as an invitation to step into the kitchen, explore the stories behind the recipes, and create something that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FOOD - The Contemporary African Kitchen: Cooking with Culture - When I was a kid, I used to love going to this old shack where an elderly lady sat making fresh home-style taameya (falafel). I haven’t had it for more than forty years, but I can still taste it like it was yesterday. Because of her, I can tell right away if the taameya will  be good or bad, just by the smell.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Taameya is served all across the nation, seeping into neighboring countries to become a part of their breakfast traditions, too. In Egypt, you’ll find it served in breakfast carts starting from the crack of dawn. What is distinct about Egyptian taameya is that it is made using dried split fava (broad) beans as the core ingredient. While making it with split beans is a longer process that requires several hours of soaking, the results are definitely worth the wait to get a light, crispy, green disk of vegan goodness. It’s so irresistible that this recipe was recognized as the best falafel in a 2016 competition at London’s Borough Market. Enjoy with Egyptian baladi bread, traditional green salad, and tahina sauce.

      <image:title>FOOD - The Contemporary African Kitchen: Cooking with Culture - DIRECTIONS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soak the split fava (broad) beans for 6–8 hours—the longer, the better. They should have the same bite as a raw fava bean. Note that you must change the soaking water often to prevent fermentation. Place the leeks, onion, garlic, cilantro (coriander), and parsley in a food processor, and process until evenly chopped. Add the presoaked split beans, and process until smooth, pausing occasionally to clean down the sides of the processor with a spatula. Add the dried coriander and salt, and blend again until incorporated. The dough should be slightly foamy, as a result of adding the salt in the final step. Scoop out the dough into a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the sesame seeds and crushed coriander. Fill a deep wok or skillet (frying pan) with the oil and heat until it reaches 350°F/175°C—you can also test the oil to see if it is ready by tossing in a few sesame seeds; when they rise to the surface, the oil is ready for frying. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into your hands (or use an ice cream scoop) and shape it into a disk. (Or you can form your dough into other shapes, including balls and sticks.) Sprinkle some sesame and coriander mix onto the disk, and carefully slip it into the oil. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown on the outside. Repeat in batches of a few at a time until you have used all the remaining dough, then serve warm. Photo by Ludovic Avice</image:caption>

      <image:title>FOOD - Her Food Is A Revolution: Tiffany-Anne Parkes of Pienanny - Part of the answer may be that, for most of us, “culinary artistry” isn’t something we’ve ever conceived of - at least not the way that Parkes does. While there are a number of world-class chefs leading conversations on how food connects to deeper questions of class, equity and social justice, there are few visual artists using food as their medium. Yet for Parkes, the connection is clear, resulting in a unique blend of food and art, that blurs the line between fine artist and chef to the point of near irrelevance. The artist/chef uses her hands to mold dough into enticing pies that hold urgent historic narratives, presenting her audience with social commentary we can eat. A combination made even more remarkable by the fact that as both an artist and a chef, she’s entirely self-taught.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Her Food Is A Revolution: Tiffany-Anne Parkes of Pienanny - On her Instagram, which is as much a gallery space as it is a menu and visual diary, there’s the deeply hued pie in dark raspberry that was inspired by Elizabeth Catlett’s “There Is A Woman In Every Color,” a feminine face etched beautifully into the dark purple crust. Other works depict an image of Queen Nanny, leader of an 18th century community of Jamaican Maroons on a tart drizzled with caramel sauce and a gingersnap crust that’s home to a hibiscus custard shaped into the silhouette of Saartjie Baartman, the Khoikhoi South African woman who was illegally enslaved and displayed across Europe and whose body was later deconstructed for study. Looking much like a piece at a Kara Walker exhibit, and with similar impact, serving up important histories and uncomfortable truths, the Baartman piece puts viewers in exactly the type of double-bind that characterizes so much of the Pienanny’s work: while some of us may look away from the history, no one’s going to turn away from the pie. And like any good teacher, Parkes uses that allure to get our attention and keep it until the lesson is done.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Alkebulan: Chef Alexander Smalls Curates as Taste of Africa’s Cultural Revolution for the World - Alkebulan is one of the ancient names of the African continent, perhaps the only surviving term to be indigenous to the land and its people. Alternately translated as “Mother of Mankind” or “Garden of Eden,” it’s unclear if other terms may have existed among the continent’s many languages. However Alkebulan was widely used in the north and has been connected to the Ethiopians, Moors (Almoravids / Almohades) Nubians and Carthaginians among others. In its current iteration, Alkebulan is a dining hall the likes of which has never been seen, pulling from many of the continent’s major food traditions as seen through the eyes of those who are leading its culinary renaissance.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Alkebulan: Chef Alexander Smalls Curates as Taste of Africa’s Cultural Revolution for the World - “After my first restaurant I understood that, more than a chef / restaurateur, I was an activist,” he reflects. “The point was elevating and expanding the narrative of the art and food of the African Diaspora.” In bringing together so many parts of the continent and the new visions that are putting them back in conversation with food culture in the rest of the world, chef Smalls is continuing the story he began with his book, Between Harlem and Heaven - that not only did Africa never leave these conversations, it’s been there from the start. “Through slavery,” he says. “Africa is the foundation of cooking and hospitality on five continents. Since then, institutional racism has really oppressed us,  our products and our value.” The stories told in the concept and menus of Alkebulan are an important step towards correcting that narrative.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Heart &amp;amp; Soul: Jocelyn Delk Adams’ Recipes Are A Family Affair&amp;nbsp; - Big Mama is Maggie Small, Adam’s maternal grandmother, who hails from the small town of Winona, Mississippi. Among her favorite memories, Jocelyn remembers making the 10-hour trip from Chicago to Winona to visit her grandparents. As she tells it, from the moment of her arrival, baking was the first thing on her mind. Sometimes a cake would be waiting, but on the best occasions the women in her family would gather; her mother, auntie and grandmother, would roll up their sleeves and the work - and the fun - would begin. Those moments, the experience of being among the women in her family would inspire Jocelyn to start her food blog, a tribute to her family’s baking genius and to the love that inspired it. From there, she would go on to launch a cookbook replete with recipes like “Mama’s 7UP Pound Cake,” “Aunt Irene’s Apricot Nectar Cake,” and “Johnnie Mae’s Seven-Flavor Pound Cake,” the names stirring up warm feelings of home while calling out each contributor to the legacy the baker was heir to.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Heart &amp;amp; Soul: Jocelyn Delk Adams’ Recipes Are A Family Affair&amp;nbsp; - Each recipe reads like a family narrative, telling stories of special moments, sometimes with notes of a particular ingredient or flourish preferred by a specific member of her family. Jocelyn’s recipes are not only reflective of her own story, but they speak to a story recognized by many Black American families and the Diaspora as a whole. For many of us, baking with Grandmom, Nana, Mom-Mom or Big Mama, getting the sugar, getting in the way, memorizing the steps, and licking the bowl once everything was in the oven, are all familiar moments whether they happened at the holidays, at parties or on the special occasion that was every Sunday night. They were moments of connection where kitchens became classrooms. Life lessons were passed down with recipes, memories were made along with cakes, sweet rolls and cornbread.</image:title>

      <image:title>FOOD - Heart &amp;amp; Soul: Jocelyn Delk Adams’ Recipes Are A Family Affair&amp;nbsp; - This year, just in time for the holidays, Jocelyn shares another family favorite: a chocolate pound cake with a peppermint ganache. The flavors are perfect for the season, and portions can be tweaked for sharing with a large group or among an intimate selection of loved ones. “In my family, baking has always been a gesture of love, especially during this time of year. I love getting in the kitchen with my mother and aunt and baking up something special we can give away. However, this ultimate chocolate pound cake with peppermint ganache glaze is one that we definitely love to savor ourselves.”</image:title>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 4: A Refuge - It never occurred to me to wonder what it was like for her to live alone in a place that had once been full of so many people she loved. Whether it felt a little lonely or if she was grateful for the quiet wasn’t something she ever expressed to me. Had I thought to ask, I suspect her answer might’ve included a little of both. But whatever her answer might have been, it wasn’t a question I considered when my turn came to have the house (mostly) to myself.</image:title>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 4: A Refuge - On the aesthetic side, the bathroom had received a beautiful facelift about 15 years before we moved in. Time had done its work on the very 1990s look, however, and by the time we were there the wallpaper was peeling, tiles were cracking, and pieces of the popcorn ceiling were frequently on the floor.</image:title>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 3: Passing It On - Economist Janelle Jones finds that the result is, “white households inherit more money, and more often, than black households,” providing a wealth boost that, at the median, “increases wealth by more than $100,000 for white families and only $4,000 for black families”. For many Black families, including my own, one of the main ways that we have historically addressed this gap has been by purchasing and passing on homes, just like this one.</image:title>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 2: Inspired by the Past - The area in North Philadelphia where my family home is located was once farmland that later became the hub of Philadelphia’s industrial revolution. In William Penn’s day, it was where the landed nouveau riche built homes to separate themselves from the old guard. Though not old enough to have stood during those days, the house is a beautifully appointed Philadelphia row home.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The front door opens into the sun room. Over the years it’s been used as either a large entryway or its own room. In either configuration, its open portals lead directly into the living room. As a kid, the sun room was my favorite place to play — after the living room, which was where the television was.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 1: The House - A place for holidays and casual visits, a place for kids to run and for pets to live, a perfect place for being together at any time and for any reason. While the list of occupants has changed over time, the house has always been ours and it’s always been there for anyone who needed it. Someone moving up from the South? They can stay at the house. A grandchild in need of a place to live after college? There’s room at the house. A new baby on the way, a friend in need — there is always room for family at the house. My family’s house is unique, but it’s far from being the only one of its kind. The Black family home is a significant cultural institution in America. So many of us recognize the warm feeling that comes from thinking of that one special house where the family can always be found.</image:title>

      <image:title>BLACK FAMILY HOME - It’s A Family Affair Part 1: The House - Today, this institution is in danger. According to the US Census Bureau, home ownership among Black families dropped in 2019 to 40.6%, the lowest it’s been since 1950. Beginning in 2007, the decline marks the complete erasure of progress made since the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which barred the discriminatory real estate practices that had always disenfranchised Black people seeking to own their own homes. Causes for the losses include predatory lending practices, subprime mortgages, and struggles with upkeep, but behind them all are many of the same attitudes that created barriers to Black home ownership in the past. For many Black families, “the house” is in danger of being lost.</image:title>

      <image:title>CULTURE - The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism - In contrast, "The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism" presents around 160 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, films, and ephemera primarily by Black artists.The exhibition illuminates how Black artists captured the essence of modern life and the rapid growth of Black urban centers during the 1920s and 1940s, the height of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans moved from the rural south to urban centers in the north and west.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and CEO, emphasized the significance of the current exhibition: “This landmark exhibition reframes the Harlem Renaissance, cementing its place as the first African American–led movement of international modern art.” Denise Murrell, The Met’s Merryl H. and James S. Tisch Curator at Large, further elaborated on the impact of these artists, noting how may artists of the New Negro Movement – as the Harlem Renaissance was known in the 1920s –  spent extended periods abroad, joining multiethnic artistic circles in Paris, London, and Northern Europe. Through the collected works, the exhibition delves into the diverse representational styles of individual New Negro artists. Influences cited range from various African art traditions to European avant-garde techniques and classicized academic traditions, themselves influenced by African – specifically, Egyptian – art. Featured artists, many of whom played major roles in the Harlem Renaissance, have their work juxtaposed with portrayals of international Black life as depicted by European artists. The combination is presented as  the exhibition examines interactions between Harlem Renaissance artists and their European counterparts, tracing the significant impact of these artists on the developing global lexicon of modernist art.

      <image:caption>“Moon Over Harlem,” a later work by Renaissance-era painter, William Henry Johnson. The work commemorates the events of the Harlem Riot of 1943, which began as an African American soldier, shot by a white police officer after intervening in the arrest of a Black woman was mistakenly reported as dead. Though six people would die and hundreds would be injured in the violence that followed, the aftermath forced New York’s mayor to enact policy changes preventing white landlords from price-gouging Black tenants in Harlem.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism - The exploration emphasizes the unified goal of these artists of portraying all aspects of modern Black life and culture. Starting with the cultural philosophy that gave rise to the New Negro movement, as defined by philosopher Alain Locke, the works featured in the  exhibition address diverse social issues such as queer identity, colorism, class tensions, and interracial relations. The exhibit concludes with a gallery dedicated to artists as activists, spotlighting their engagement in the emerging fight for  social justice as the New Negro era transitioned into the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. As Denise Murrell poignantly remarked, “It's this idea of the beginning of Black modernity. [The Harlem Renaissance] was the first African American-led movement of modern art [...] the beginning of the modern Black subject that we recognize as part of who we are today.”</image:title>

      <image:title>CULTURE - Freedom Summer:An  Interview with Naeem Douglas, the Brookladelphian - The spirit of protest that promises to define this summer is about more than any one person or one community, and certainly more than one “bad apple.” This is about every community that has seen too many lost coming together to declare an end to a cen- turies-old system that will terrorize, oppress, and kill to ensure supremacy. It’s a constitutional right being asserted by people pushed too far by racist subjugation, economic exploitation, and gov- ernmental apathy, and who will no longer be silent.</image:title>
      <image:caption>No matter how many words we throw at this historic moment, they’ll all fail to capture it: the weary grief of people so tired of grieving that there’s nothing left to do but explode; the sudden awakening of those abruptly coming to realize that nothing costs more than privilege and struggling to figure out what to do about it; the optimism of seeing so many voices calling out together for change; and the fear and outrage of those who champion the status quo as they see it come crumbling down around them. When a thousand words won’t begin scratch the surface, there’s only one thing to do: take a picture.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - Freedom Summer:An  Interview with Naeem Douglas, the Brookladelphian - AC: With a deadly pandemic going on, were you concerned about going out to march?</image:title>
      <image:caption>ND: COVID-19 is definitely something I’m constantly thinking about. You probably can notice none of my photos are particularly close up. I try my best to stay out the fray but still take a photo. This is history in the streets and I felt compelled to document it. I COULD NOT STAY HOME.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - Freedom Summer:An  Interview with Naeem Douglas, the Brookladelphian - AC: What was the spirit of the people that you saw marching like? What was your own spirit like?</image:title>
      <image:caption>ND: Good spirits, but you could also sense a bit of exhaustion from Black people. I think people really want police interactions with Black people to change. In the streets of New York City, there’s a lot of support for this movement. People honk their horns in support as the marches and protest move throughout New York City. AC: Was there anything in particular that surprised you about this moment? ND: I was certainly surprised by white people’s involvement. I covered many protests in the past going back to the Sean Bell protest. It’s mostly a Black affair. But I’ve seen so many white people involved in these recent protests. They’re not taking leadership roles but I’ve seen a few rallies that were 80% white.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - Freedom Summer:An  Interview with Naeem Douglas, the Brookladelphian - AC: There have been many reports of police violence against protestors here in the city. Did you witness any violence as you captured this movement?</image:title>
      <image:caption>ND: I did see some on the first day. The very first day of the protests I happened to be in [Manhattan] and was riding my bike by Foley Square and saw a rally. I always have a camera with me so I started to make some photos. Then the marchers started moving north and the police were not having it. They were really aggressive and definitely initiated contact. It escalated fairly quickly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - Freedom Summer:An  Interview with Naeem Douglas, the Brookladelphian - AC: Which photographers have in- spired your work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>ND: I have to start with the greats, Gordon Parks and Jamel Shabazz. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Ernest Withers, but his life as a FBI informant during the civil rights movement leaves me conflicted. I’m also a big fan of Andre Wagner, a Brooklyn-based photographer who’s doing in- credible work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - A Day at the Beach: Sag Harbor with  Mr. Baldwin Style - There are some days that are magic. Days when it all goes right - the perfect setting, the perfect weather, and the perfect group of friends gathered to mark an important occasion.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For Donnell and Courtney Baldwin, New York fashion stylists known for their brand, Mr. Baldwin Style, that moment came on a sunny day at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor. The idyllic location, set among bright white sands, long blades of grass, and even a few deer roaming by the ocean, was perfect for the couple’s celebration of their six-year wedding anniversary. To make the most of a beautiful day, the couple, whose brand works with Ralph Lauren and Rosario Dawson’s globally conscious Studio 189, called on an equally fashionable array of guests to toast their latest milestone in one of their favorite places to visit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - A Day at the Beach: Sag Harbor with  Mr. Baldwin Style - Over the years, Sag Harbor and its many beaches have seen countless days like this, when African Americans gathered to celebrate moments like these. It’s a history that begins with freed slaves coming as laborers in the 19th century, and later in the 1940s, African Americans developing safe places of refuge and leisure. This was particularly true in the Sag Harbor Hills, where African Americans have lived in the beach community since World War II.</image:title>
      <image:caption>During the Jim Crow era, the area served as a seasonal destination for affluent and middle class African Americans. Notable figures, including Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Duke Ellington, and Langston Hughes to name a few, have long come to Sag Harbor as a summer retreat. The area’s legacy is so important to American history that the SANS neighborhood, named for the historically Black Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest and Ninevah areas, was recently added to the New York State Register of Historic Places. “When we first began visiting Sag Harbor, we always felt a connection to the town, but had no idea of the history,” remarks Donnell.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CULTURE - A Day at the Beach: Sag Harbor with  Mr. Baldwin Style - As Courtney and Donnell learned about the history of the place following their first visit, they began to better understand the connection that they felt whenever they were there. Prior to the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans were not allowed access to many of the beaches and entertainment activities in the area - so we created our own. For over 40 years, the summer crowd in Sag Harbor consisted of a mix of affluent and middle-class Black people. Doctors, lawyers, educators, and blue-collar professionals met each year to escape the racism that they faced in the world away from the beach. Meanwhile many of these families took advantage of the opportunity to buy beachfront property, a chance that was scarcely available elsewhere. Today, many of the homes in the area have been passed down to family members and there are still a few of the original residents that live in the coastal communities, helping to continue the traditions and teach others about the long-standing importance of the area.</image:title>

      <image:title>CULTURE - A Day at the Beach: Sag Harbor with  Mr. Baldwin Style - Many things have changed since Black people first sought out Sag Harbor in search of the freedom to enjoy a day at the beach. What hasn’t changed is the joy of gathering to celebrate the best parts of life in a place that requires no explanation, asks for no apology. For Courtney and Donnell Baldwin it was the only place to come to celebrate their life together, surrounded by friends and inspired by history. “Sag Harbor is special to us because it is a perfect blend of so many things that we love,” Donnell explains. “Every time we visit, we learn something either through experience or conversation that we can apply to our current business or that adds to the pursuit of our wildest dreams. We keep coming back because of how we feel when we are there and how refreshed we feel when we return to our busy and sometimes hectic life in New York City.”</image:title>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Formation of Diaspora, Part II - Paul Gilroy and The Black Atlantic</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most significant theoretical interventions in the development of African Diaspora theory came in the early '90s. A striking new direction taken by British historian Paul Gilroy, a student of Hall’s whose early overtures against British ethnocentrism led him to completely re-imagine the African Diaspora concept. Gilroy’s 1993 opus, The Black Atlantic, is a treatise against all essentialist theories of cultural production — particularly those that rely on geography as a means of justifying positions of ethnocentricity. Perhaps in response to the pervasiveness of “African American essentialism” within American Black Studies programs, Gilroy focuses his attention on W.E.B. DuBois and Richard Wright, two paragons of African American intellectual and cultural history. In considering the life and work of each, Gilroy emphasizes the extended periods of travel, work, and study abroad that took place throughout their respective careers. Stressing the extremely formational influence that exposure outside of the United States had on them, Gilroy argues against the idea that their work or even they themselves should be considered “African American” in the strictest sense. In many ways, The Black Atlantic signifies Gilroy’s continuation of the work of decentralization as suggested by Shepperson and furthered by Hall. Not only is Africa removed as the central cog giving meaning and cohesion to a network of derivative cultures, it is removed from the area of study entirely as Gilroy shifts attention to cultural interactions among the descendants of the displaced without special regard for the original site of displacement. By emphasizing the “roots and routes” of cultural transmission, reinforced by the constant symbolic imagery of the ship, which he states, “remained perhaps the most important conduit of Pan-African communication before the appearance of the long-playing record,” Gilroy argues against the nation-state as the site of ethnically-based cultural essentialisms, positing instead that it is in the in-between spaces that culture is most authentically produced. Thus the Black Atlantic is an amorphous system of relationships rather than a coherent network of interactions between monolithically defined states The impetus for this dynamically abstract approach to culture, identity and belonging, may be found in Gilroy’s earlier works and perspective as a Black Britain. As he describes in Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack: Black Britain defines itself crucially as part of a diaspora. Its unique cultures draw inspiration from those developed by black populations elsewhere. In particular, the culture and politics of black America and the Caribbean have become raw materials for creative processes which redefine what it means to be black, adapting it to distinctively British experience and meanings. Black culture is actively made and re-made. Thus in defining the Black Atlantic, Gilroy is extrapolating what he has already identified as being the process of cultural creation and identity formation in his own context to the wider diaspora, itself the evolving result of a series of ongoing cultural interactions. In the process, Gilroy assumes a position of “anti-anti-essentialism” – one which views culture neither as, “a fixed essence, nor as a vague and utterly contingent construction to be reinvent - ed by the will and whim of aesthetes, symbolists, and language gamers.” Photo by Rikonavt on Unsplash.</image:caption>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Formation of Diaspora, Part II - The Same Coin: Unity and Difference</image:title>
      <image:caption>The fundamental point of departure between Pan-Africanism and Diaspora is whether the “truth” of Black cultures is found in their commonalities or their distinctions. Pan-Africanism endorsed unity as a matter of cultural expedience and political necessity. And as the need for international Black political activity was thought to be disappearing, Diaspora began to emphasize difference. Certainly there are strong points to be made for both. The political function of establishing an ideology of sameness between Black cultures globally, to whatever level of success, is undeniable. At the same time, earlier parts of this series have explored the fact that the African diaspora is not comprised of groups of people dispersed from a single nation but of groups dispersed from many nations and to many nations, wherein the unique processes of history forged not a single group’s reinterpretation of their former culture, but new cultures for new peoples formed in different measures out of the cultures of the oppressed, the oppressors and everyone they met along the way. That there is as much that distinguish - es these cultures as unites them is inevitable. But before we choose sides between universal sameness and uncrossable difference, there are a few points to examine. First, we should consider whether any argument for unity still remains. The political impetus for emphasizing international unity among Black people at the time of Diaspora’s introduction was, in fact waning. Pan-Africanism had largely accomplished the goal of liberating African and Caribbean nations from colonial rule. However liberation did not necessarily mean equality, particularly for internally colonized populations in The United States and elsewhere. As cultural collaboration eclipsed political cooperation as the primary form of interaction for the Diaspora, deeper and more pervasive issues continued to exist. Among the many things that 2020 has tried to show us has been the clear fact that racism and oppression continue to shape and even end Black lives around the world. But 2020 not only highlighted the problem, it demonstrated the potential for political cooperation between international Black communities. The Black Lives Matter Movement exploded in 2020, becoming a global movement as the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police sparked massive protests around the world. Inspired by the American movement and similar incidents in their own countries, activists such as Assa Traoré and Djamila Ribeiro have brought attention to the problems of racism and police violence in places such as Australia, France, and Brazil as well as Nigeria. In considering unity therefore, there remains, not only the cultural basis but an ongoing need. Jamal Muchongwe for COS.</image:caption>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Formation of Diaspora, Part 1 - Form and Function</image:title>
      <image:caption>For Pan-Africanism, the basic foundation of its outlook is expressed in an idea that could loosely be described as “the underlying African self.” This idea posits that beneath the cultural specificities of any nationality or ethnicity, there exists an underlying, original or essential part of every Black person that connects us to the African continent and therefore to each other. Though the idea of an essential African-ness connecting all Black people might continue to resonate to a greater or lesser degree today, at the time it was all but common knowledge. During Pan-Africanism’s tenure there was no “African-American” as Jesse Jackson would popularize the term in the 1980s, only the African (or more commonly, the Negro) in America. Black people in other parts of the world were thought of similarly, not as belonging to the place, regardless of where they were born, but as being the Negro here or there. The idea is even borne out in the title of Shepperson’s introductory article on Diaspora with its use of the phrase, “The African Abroad” By necessity, “Africa” played a central role in this conceptualization, which arguably saw what we now think of as distinct Diaspora cultures as different aspects or at least various iterations of a comparatively monolithic African culture. And while it is problematic for us today to reduce Africa to a monolith, ignoring the plethora of cultures that makeup the world’s second largest continent, atthe height of colonialism the only difference between African nations considered meaningful was the flag of the European nation that occupied them. Whatever anachronisms we might accuse the idea of today, it’s clear that in its time, the underlying African self was not simply a romantic notion, but a philosophical and political tool. It was a refuge for every Black person either disowned by the place of their birth or oppressed in it by the absent monarch of a distant empire. It was the basic building block that made cooperation and joint struggle across oceans possible, allowing the first Pan-African Conference in London to become Pan-African Congresses around the world, and Harlem’s New Negro Movement to become Negritude in Martinique, Senegal, Paris, and more. The composite symbol of Africa that it employed, even if not understood in the moment as being distinct from the actual continent, met the needs of dispersed people, themselves a cultural and genetic composite of many African nations, while drawing their attention and efforts to the aid of a spiritual, if not physical, homeland as deeply in need of them as they were of it.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Formation of Diaspora, Part 1 - The Point of it All</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the first article of this series, we looked at the prevalence of the term diaspora, its attachment to dispersals of all kinds and the tendency for those who study them to try to define diasporas collectively. And we demonstrated several points of distinction between the African and other diasporas in the process of arguing that diasporas in general should be considered individually as each has its own salient characteristics. In the transition away from Pan-Africanism, the global community now collectively understood as theAfrican Diaspora created one of its biggest and most important distinctions, and a massive argument for its continued study as a thing unto itself. The difference between Pan-Africanism and the African Diaspora as expressed in their most basic, core concepts is profound. Both acknowledge a connection between all Black people and cultures around the world, as well as points of difference that distinguish us one from another. But they differ greatly in their interpretation of this agreement and on which aspect of the relationship is most important. For Pan-Africanism, which espoused an inclusive global perspective, unity was the most important thing as it was crucial to pursuing its agenda of African liberation — a term that extended beyond the continent to include dispersed Black people living in different conditions of oppression around the world. Therefore for Pan-Africanism, the underlying African self was the true self, as it connected us across oceans and inspite of generations of exploitation, abuse and resistance. Conversely, in the absence of an inclusive political or social agenda, Diaspora presents an outlook no less global, but far more specific and decentralized in its treatment ofBlack cultures. For Diaspora, as Stuart Hall clearly stated, it is not the points of commonality but the points of difference that connote,“what we really are.” For most if not all diasporas, the whole point of being understood as a diaspora is to create or maintain some sense of unity or sameness despite dispersion. And while it is very likely that conversations within any number of diasporas have turned to address present or growing cultural differences within them, it was on this basis specifically that the African Diaspora came into being — not as a way of establishing unity, but as a means of countenancing difference.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Emergence of Diaspora - In a later essay, Shepperson would trace the history of the diaspora concept to such figures as Edward Wilmot Blyden, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Lorenzo Dow Turner, marveling, as so many have since, that so much time should have passed before “diaspora” was added to the arsenal of terms with which people of African descent fought for their historical position. In particular, he singled out Blyden, whose work employed so many biblical references, and revolved around a concept so near to diaspora, yet which never seemed to openly connect the phrase.</image:title>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Emergence of Diaspora - While we are free to debate the efficiency of his approach to the problem (which also included the addition of a third term: “All-African”), Shepperson’s struggle to contain so many movements under a single term demonstrates the emerging limitations of the Pan-African concept. As Brent Hayes Edwards observed:</image:title>
      <image:caption>On the one hand, Shepperson rereads the term precisely to make room for ideological difference and disjuncture in considering black cultural politics in an international sphere ... In Shepperson’s view, it is crucial to be able to account for the transformative ‘sea changes’ that Pan-African thought undergoes in a transnational circuit. W.E.B. Du Bois.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Harlem Renaissance And The Emergence Of The African Diaspora - Though the Harlem Renaissance, as it is currently known, is not typically recognized as part of an international event, the New Negro Movement, as it was originally called, made no attempt to attach itself to a single location — particularly as Locke himself was a Philadelphia native and resident of Washington DC at the time he released his anthology. Moreover, it is difficult to believe that those involved in the actual moment believed it to be anything other than international in both composition and scope.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Although primarily connected to the Harlem cultural movement, The New Negro was largely built on the contribution of authors from around the Diaspora, just as the Harlem movement itself was built upon the presence of the Diaspora in America. As scholar and author Robert Philipson points out: Prominently featured [within The New Negro] were poems by the Jamaican immigrant Claude McKay, and a short story titled The Palm Porch, by the West Indian writer Eric Walrond. Essays were contributed by Puerto Rican bibliophile Arthur Schomburg (The Negro Digs Up His Past), and by the Jamaican-born journalists Joel A. Rogers (Jazz at Home) and Wilfred A. Domingo.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Harlem Renaissance And The Emergence Of The African Diaspora - As a result, France emerged as a type of crossroads for the Diaspora, a theme explored often in the Black literature of the 1920s, in books such as Claude McKay’s famed Banjo: A Story Without a Plot. Paris’ status as a center for world culture contributed to the growing narrative of the city in the minds of Diaspora creatives. Constructed from the endless tales of soldiers, students, and musicians, a narrative emerged describing a place that was both modern and accepting, cosmopolitan and willing to embrace the changing identities of a people only just beginning to realize all that they had to offer. The draw of the city became so absolute that many of those considered to be the literary giants of Harlem’s cultural moment, including Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, Gwendolyn Bennett, Countee Cullen, and many more spent several formative years in Paris during the 1920s. International movement was so prevalent among intellectuals at this time that, as Edwards notes, “Looking just at the culture makers usually identified with the ‘Harlem Renaissance,’ it is striking that the exceptions are those who remained in the United States.”</image:title>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Harlem Renaissance And The Emergence Of The African Diaspora - The desire to see Black thought, creativity, and experience translated across linguistic boundaries inspired one of the most important francophone figures, Jane Nardal, to reach out to Alain Locke with the intention of creating a translation of The New Negro for French-speaking audiences. A student at the time, Nardal maintained connections to several French journals, most notably, La Depeche africaine, the first issue of which featured her article L’internationalisme noir. Nardal’s proposal to Locke is in many ways an enactment of the theoretical stance taken by this article, as Nardal states in her own words:</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this postwar period, the barriers that exist between countries are being lowered, or are being pulled down... Negroes of all origins and nationalities, with different customs and religions, vaguely sense that they belong in spite of everything to a single and same race...If the black wants to be himself, to affirm his personality, not to be the copy of some type of another race (as often brings him resentment and mockery)...he must profit from acquired experience, from intellectual riches, through others, but in order to better understand himself[.] Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Photographs and Prints Division, The New York Public Library. “La Revue Du Monde Noir” New York Public Library Digital Collections.</image:caption>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Harlem Renaissance And The Emergence Of The African Diaspora - For Senghor, Damas, and Cesaire, internationalism lay at the heart of their association. As students in Paris hailing from different ends of the French colonial empire, their association was in itself a form of Pan-African collaboration. Moreover, the movement drew clear inspiration from the work of Pan-African intellectual movements in other parts of the world. In that spirit of collaboration and unity across nations, Damas went so far as to assert that, “Negritude has been the French assertion of the New Negro Movement.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Paris, Damas, Senghor, and Cesaire met and together founded L’Etudiant Noir. Despite descriptions as, “a thin, eight- page periodical,” that likely produced only one issue, the publication has nevertheless been afforded great importance in the development of Negritude, if only for bringing together the talents of its three brightest luminaries. Nevertheless, the formally recognized beginning of the movement came with Cesaire’s use of negritude in his epic poem, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, published in Paris in 1939.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - The Harlem Renaissance And The Emergence Of The African Diaspora - The 1945 congress also included the participation of Francis, later Kwame, Nkrumah — the future leader of post-colonial Ghana. Nkrumah had been referred to Padmore by the latter’s childhood friend and professional collaborator CLR James. James had first made Nkrumah’s acquaintance in the United States. Nkrumah’s further involvement with organizations such as the West African Student Union and the West African Secretariat, “sharpened his vision and strengthened his commitment to freedom for the Gold Coast, West Africa, and Africa as a whole,” according to scholar, Nana Arhin Brempont. In 1957, one year after the publication of George Padmore’s seminal Pan-Africanism or Communism?, Nkrumah would fight successfully for Ghana’s independence, and Padmore would take a position as his Advisor on African Affairs. The book, which Padmore called a, “historical account of the struggles of Africans and peoples of African descent for Human Rights and Self-Determination in the modern world,” was largely a refutation of contemporary British propaganda labeling all Pan-Africanist activity as Communist. At the same time that he combated this divisive tactic, Padmore managed to provide a compelling history of Pan-African thought, while offering hope for its future.</image:title>

      <image:title>REFERENCE - Pan-Africanism And The Roots Of The African Diaspora - It was also at the close of this pivotal event that W.E.B. DuBois would deliver his famous, “Address to the Nations of the World,” which marked the first public utterance of his most noted phrase: “The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line.” Though far from being the only medium or framework for interaction between Black intellectuals, the Pan-African congresses provide a useful timeline along which to assess the emergence and evolution of what would become the African Diaspora concept. Other complimenting and often competing ideals were forwarded by the Back-to-Africa movements of Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), as well as a host of Black Nationalist movements.</image:title>
      <image:caption>From the beginning, the international nature and outlook of these conferences was clear. Geiss notes that, “Afro-Americans and Afro-West Indians were most prominent in it, but the [continental] African element was by no means negligible. The African Association, the Pan-African Association, and the Pan-African Conference were noticed and welcomed in the press of West Africa.” Nearly 20 years passed between the first and second conferences, a span of time no doubt lengthened by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Nevertheless, Black intellectuals, led by DuBois, found occasion in 1919 for a Paris-based conference to run parallel to the peace conference being held in Versailles by the previously warring powers.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - Pan-Africanism And The Roots Of The African Diaspora - In effect, the New Negro functions for Locke as the direct antithesis of the “Old” Negro paradigm set up by myriad works of fact and fiction ranging from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin to W.E.B. Du Bois’, Souls of Black Folk. This marks its emergence as an act of defiance not only against the widely held views attending considerations of, “The Negro Problem” in the mainstream, but even against those who had, since eman- cipation, taken up the overseer’s role of shepherding the race. The result, as Locke relates, is that:</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Sociologist, the Philanthropist, the Race-leader are not unaware of the New Negro, but they are at a loss to account for him. He simply cannot be swathed in their formulæ. For the younger generation is vibrant with a new psychology; the new spirit is awake in the masses, and under the very eyes of the professional observers is transforming what has been a perennial problem into the progressive phases of contemporary Negro life. In New York, Locke’s statements were given form by intellectuals with scores of complementing and competing ideas on how to meet the issues of their time. Yet, they were all united in the spirit (if not the rhetoric) of the New Negro movement by the single driving goal that animated them all: to become - and to be seen as - something other than what they had been.

      <image:title>REFERENCE - Pan-Africanism And The Roots Of The African Diaspora - In addition to those listed above, several noted authors of the Harlem movement, including contributors to the New Negro anthology such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Zora Neale Hurston, attempted to put forth their own views on Black life and art in the aptly named journal, Fire!, the content of which was intentionally designed to fly in the face of what its authors felt to be the propagandist stance of older figures like Locke.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Harlem in the 1920s was as alive with journalistic and scholarly writing as it was with fiction and poetry. However, the “Negro World” did more than just listen to the messages emanating from the United States. It formed them, providing both content and context, as likeminded thinkers from around the Diaspora provided Harlem with messages of their own. The birth of Pan-Africanism was not the beginning of international awareness in Black people. But the convening of liberation-minded Black thinkers from all over the globe was the spark and recognition of a new moment both for those colonized on the African continent and those internally-colonized in the, “New World”. This intense period of international collaboration came at a time when Black populations all over the world were facing similar kinds of oppression under various guises and names. It was their mutual recognition of their shared plight as well as their common history that encouraged them to look across borders and oceans for help they could not find anywhere else.

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Jas Knight: The Art of Quiet Moments - Not content to make an impact only through his work, Knight looks to inspire others in their artistic journeys as well. He teaches courses at the Art Students League of New York on the trichromatic theory and its application to portraiture and the history and technique of reproducing the work of master painters, and has produced books on both topics. But whether he’s writing, teaching or painting, to Jas, the three are the same because they each further the commitment to art and beauty in life that have propelled him from the beginning.</image:title>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Finding Beauty in Struggle: The Art and Resilience of Hugo McCloud - A pivotal moment in McCloud’s career came during a trip to India, where he was captivated by the sight of polypropylene plastic sacks that seemed to be everywhere.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These vibrant sacks, used to transport goods, flowed through all layers of society—from bustling factories to the hands of those in the Dharavi slums, who scavenged and recycled them for survival. Watching these bags pass through so many lives left a profound impression on McCloud. He saw more than just a material; he saw the strength and perseverance of the people who worked with them, but also the quiet devastation of an environmental crisis unfolding before his eyes. This experience touched him deeply, sparking a new chapter in his work. McCloud began incorporating these plastic bags into his art, not simply as materials but as symbols of the human struggle. With painstaking care, he collaged them into intricate compositions that explored themes of labor, class, and the destructive impact of human consumption on the planet. For McCloud, these plastic sacks were more than objects—they were stories of resilience, hardship, and the complex web of life they represented.  This method of working with plastic is emblematic of McCloud’s broader approach to art: he is constantly pushing the boundaries of what materials can be used to create beauty. His process is labor-intensive, often requiring thousands of pieces of plastic to create a single work. In doing so, McCloud transforms a material that is often seen as disposable into something precious and meaningful. For him, the act of creating art is deeply connected to the human experience of labor, both physical and emotional. His pieces are as much about the process of making as they are about the final result, with each layer of material representing the layers of meaning and effort embedded in the work.

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Finding Beauty in Struggle: The Art and Resilience of Hugo McCloud - In recent years, McCloud has begun to explore new themes in his work, particularly around the ideas of impermanence and legacy.</image:title>
      <image:caption>His most recent works, including those featured in As for Now, focus on the delicate balance between life and death, beauty and decay. These works, which use flowers as a central motif, are a reflection of McCloud’s ongoing interest in the cycles of life and the ways in which we as humans interact with the world around us. By using plastic—a material that will outlast the flowers it represents—McCloud invites viewers to consider the lasting impact of human actions on the environment and the ways in which we assign value to the things we create and consume.

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - All About Love with Mickalene Thomas - Thomas's work often references the social and political transformations of the 1960s to the 1980s, a period marked by social reform efforts such as the Civil Rights and Black is Beautiful movements, during which African Americans in general – and women in particular – sought to redefine beauty standards. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, second-wave feminism is another major influence, with themes of gender equality, reproductive rights, and dismantling oppressive societal norms woven throughout Thomas’ work.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Though African American women including, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell and others were instrumental in shaping feminism’s first wave, they were often excluded from the stated goals of the movement, which in its nascence focused on legal issues such as suffrage without attention to additional oppressions laid on Black women through American racism.  As the second wave took shape in the 60s and 70s, problems of disparity and discrimination came to the fore, with the term womanism finding its first use in the works of Alice Walker in the late 70s and early 80s. Thomas' art aligns with the efforts of second-wave feminism, specifically womanism, to not only redefine women's roles and representation in society, but to broaden the concerns of feminist thought to address the intersectional needs of whole communities.

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Malik Roberts: Glory - AC: You met the Pope — how did you even get to the Vatican?</image:title>
      <image:caption>MR: My mentor Domingo (the artist Domingo Zapata), called me right after BLK &amp; BLU. He called me randomly, “Papa I’m doing something with the Pope ... give me a painting, give me any painting!” I was like “ok”, so I just sent him a picture of a painting. Then he was like you’re going to have to pull up to the UN for a charity event. So I was like cool, I pull up to the UN, and that’s how I ended up giving my speech at the UN. [Then] after, he was like “Papa, if someone buys your painting (at the charity event) the Vatican will fly you and the person who buys the painting out there.” So time passes by then he calls me up, “Are you ready to go to the Vatican March 21?” That’s pretty much how it went down.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Malik Roberts: Glory - AC: Do you think about where that painting is now?</image:title>
      <image:caption>MR: They said they were going to put it into a little private thing called the archives. So, in a hundred years when they are going through the archives at The Vatican, they are going to see some painting of a Black man on the cross. They are gonna pull up a picture of the artist and see a nigga with grills ... It was a big moment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Malik Roberts: Glory - AC: Your parents are from Trinidad and Guyana, but you were raised in the US. Do you think that plays into how you view Blackness, especially with these different points of cultural reference?</image:title>
      <image:caption>MR: I feel that a lot — even just growing up between New York and the South — gave me a whole different perspective on blackness. Because in the South, the racism is more outward and up here it’s a little more hidden. So even the whole thing about what it means to be Black in the South, is a whole different thing than what it means to be Black in the North. Which is funny to say, because it sounds like we are talking about some Civil War shit. But it’s that way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Malik Roberts: Glory - AC: You didn’t go through any formal training; you are essentially self-taught?</image:title>
      <image:caption>MR: Yeah, other than my family who knows how to draw. I had an uncle who went to college for art. I stayed with him for a summer and he gave me a boot camp, if you will. In the basement he had a little studio setup. [In it] he had a stack of Playboys from 1960 to now; and a bunch of Double XL; a bunch of Source Magazines and he would tell me to go through all that shit and by the time he [got] home to draw something from it. I would go through the images and would try to draw something. He would come home [and] look at it ... look at the original picture and be like, “I don’t like that. Do it again.” I’d be like ... Ok,” and then I would do it again. Then he would come home the next day — look at the picture — and be like, “I don’t know ... Try it one more time.” Then the next day he would come home and he would look at all three images and he would [be] like, “Yeah, this is the one.” Then he would go across all three and [say] “Do you see the difference between [them]? The nose in this one was a little off; you fucked up the eye on this one”... He did this to me for weeks and weeks and weeks, and by the end I got pretty good at looking and drawing. But that was the only schooling I [had].</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Malik Roberts: Glory - AC: Tell us about Glory. What inspired this new work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>MR: Glory is like the new decade. We are on the other side, we are understand- ing ourselves more, we understand our issues and our flaws, [and] we are on the other side building to a more glorious pre- sentation within ourselves. There’s more than just Oprah. There’s a lot of other people in these boardrooms, and a lot of people making decisions [who] are more relatable to us. Black women are the number one business owners. We are really taking a hold of our future, and now everything is televised, so you can’t really do us like you did [in] Black Wall St. So it’s more of a scary time for them because you can’t really just hush hush niggas like that. You can silence one or two and try and get away with it, but you can’t silence niggas like that. So I believe this decade is going to be the decade that we really strive, and really prosper in a real way. We are here and we have been here, but now it’s just on a grander scale. I just want to be the artist that represents us as we [get] to this grander scale, as we are making this transition. Black is beautiful, and can be seen in this light: We can highlight our features, we can highlight our hair, we can highlight our noses, we can highlight our big lips. We can show our style off. I feel like a lot of the things they try to put us down about are really just showing us our glory.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Andile Dyalvane: Camagu - In his most recent solo exhibition held at Friedman Benda in New York City, Dyalvane introduced audiences to Camagu, a term that loosely translates in English to “I am grateful,” and which serves as the title of his latest series of work. For Dyalvane the works in Camagu were created to express gratitude to those who came before and to those who are yet to come. “I’ve always wanted to do a solo show,” the artist remarks, “creating works I’d only ever dreamed of producing. It’s been my chance to realize designs that would otherwise have remained in my sketchbooks. Camagu references my gratitude.”</image:title>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Andile Dyalvane: Camagu - Before Dyalvane’s sculptures became fully realized pieces, they existed only in his sketchbook - pieces of ideas waiting for a chance at completion. The book also contained collections of observations drawn from experiences, reflections and daydreams. Momentary reflections and spontaneous flashes of inspiration, nascent concepts hastily transcribed onto paper. Unfocused, incomplete, but not forgotten. Manifested now as completed sculptures, they combine Xhosa culture and his personal experiences to create material prayers of thanksgiving, reminding us all of the possibilities contained in small beginnings and the power of saying, “I am grateful.”</image:title>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Fabiola Jean-Louis: History Rewritten and Remembered - The artist’s most celebrated series, Re-Writing History, is a mesmerizing and painstaking interrogation of history, symbolism and the value placed on Black bodies. The collection ranges from pieces resembling Victorian-era paintings to ghostly images reminiscent of those popular during Britain’s Spiritualist movement. Fabiola’s painterly photographs are deeply layered, using camera, model and wardrobe to mimic oil paintings. Even more intriguing, Fabiola sculpts her models’ elaborate dresses completely out of papier-mâché. The effect is flawless and fraught with symbolism. Both evoke the artist’s deep interest in Diaspora religious systems including Vodun, Voodoo and Candomblé.</image:title>

      <image:title>ARTISTS &amp; ARTISANS - Fabiola Jean-Louis: History Rewritten and Remembered - Fabiola’s world celebrates the beauty and strength of Black women, while indicting past and present efforts to deny, control or extinguish them. The images are as subversive as they are beautiful - demanding closer inspection, greeting it with poignant critique. In “Madame Beauvoir’s Painting” a woman gazes at a painting of an enslaved man whose deep back scars are designed into the back of her gown. The sculpted dress in “Madame Leroy” features a central ornament depicting a Black man in chains hanging from a floral tree. “The Conquistador” is arresting, speaking volumes about colonization and the very beginnings of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In some works, the title of the piece is as striking as the image itself. “They’ll Say We Enjoyed It,” features a model serenely looking away from a painting of two white men assaulting a Black woman. Her appearance echoes that of Marie Antoinette in Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun’s 1778 portrait. The piece’s title echoes Zora Neal Hurston’s famous quote, “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.”</image:title>

They just sit on the street selling art as everything goes on around around them. Paintings, drawings, t-shirts. I love it so much.”</image:title>

      <image:title>HOT TOPIC - Pride and Protest: What Should Pride Look Like? - Surprisingly (to myself at least), I have only been to one Pride Parade. While the Dykes on Bikes got me misty-eyed, I was disappointed by the corporations skipping by, offering stickers and merch in hopes of gaining my attention, trust, and ultimately my patronage. Many companies change their logo to rainbow for Pride month, and stores start stocking Pride gear. From ugly T-shirts, to Pride ads, to sponsoring parades, the June market is saturated by companies vying for approval and influence. When I first came out, this development was exciting. I used a rainbow logo as a measure of progression, representation, and safety. But this pink or rainbow washing starts June 1st and ends on the 30th. These corporations brush their actively discriminatory histories under the rainbow rug and continue to support homophobic causes and politicians the rest of the year. The LGBTQ+ community is only another identity to exploit profit off of.</image:title>

      <image:title>HOT TOPIC - Pride and Protest: What Should Pride Look Like? - One thing that the Stonewall Uprising and current Pride parades have in common is the presence of cops. During that fateful night in Greenwich, the police fought against the community, but now they patrol the parade and even march along. Law enforcement has a long history of abusing the queer community. The violence queer people faced at the hands of the cops during bar raids like Stonewall throughout the 20th century was horrific.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When considered with the constant brutality towards Black people, the overpolicing of trans people in the street, and the higher arrest rates for queer people, there is no room in a queer community space for potential violence. Cops at Pride don’t make it any safer. They’re a reminder of a vicious past and a presence that is discomforting at best, dangerous at worst.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HOT TOPIC - Pride and Protest: What Should Pride Look Like? - Cohen argues for an intersectional approach to queer liberation. And this is what I propose we need for Pride. Pride should be a continued rebellion against oppression. Pride should be accessible, a BLM rally, a Women’s march, a labor movement. The oppression faced for being Black or gay or poor comes from the same source. The violence that we march against in BLM demonstrations is the violence that victim- izes trans and disabled people. That power is supported by capitalism and corporations, homonationalist dogma, and police. These are the things we don’t need at Pride and what we should unite against.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This idea isn’t new. People have been rebelling against the commodification of Pride for ages now. Fortunately, there are some examples of what an intersectional, radical Pride looks like.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HOT TOPIC - We Are The Economy: Building from the Ashes of COVID-19 - Do we really have to choose between saving the economy and protecting people’s health and lives? The short answer is no. There is, in fact, no economy without workers, so from an economic as well as a moral perspective, our health and lives are paramount.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here’s the longer answer: Contrary to popular belief, the stock market and the economy are not the same thing. If the stock market is performing well, it does not mean that the economy is strong. Same goes for the number of wealthy individuals, the performance of American corporations, the gross domestic product (GDP), etc. None of these are the best indicators of how the economy is doing because they gloss over widening inequality in this country. The best economic indicator is us — your family, your neighbor, your colleague, you. We are the economy. The economy is composed of all the interactions and transactions between regular, everyday people. The economy can only thrive if everyone is able to participate, and people can only meaningfully participate when they are empowered, when workers are supported, and when marginalized communities are not excluded or exploited.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HOT TOPIC - We Are The Economy: Building from the Ashes of COVID-19 - Currently, our economy is producing more, but fewer people are benefiting. The key to ensuring economic benefits don’t all trickle up to the top 1% is an equitable distribution of power. When power becomes concentrated in the hands of the few, they will use that power to hoard their economic riches. This is exactly why “trickle down” economics fail to deliver economic prosperity: it ignores the role of power. And without rules and regulations, the rich will shape markets, bend rules, and implement systems of exploitation — like structural racism — to their benefit.</image:title>
      <image:caption>To counter the harmful narrative of trickle-down economics, we must instead center the needs of everyday people to ensure a stronger and more resilient economy that works for everyone. To begin raising living standards and increasing well-being for everyday people, we can provide public investments in workers, families, and communities, such as public schools, public health, and public housing. A prosperous society invests in everyone, regardless of race, gender, class, geography, or any other identity. Broadly shared prosperity creates widespread stability so that everyone can actively participate in buying and selling goods, which will prompt the private sector to invest in people and physical capital to meet the rising demand.</image:caption>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Captivating Cartagena - Before becoming a Spanish colony, the area had been home to civilizations since around 4000 BC. Cartagena was founded in 1533 by Pedro de Heredia, a hot-tempered Spanish noble who fled Spain for the New World after killing three of six men responsible for disfiguring his face. According to legend, the city received its name because many of Heredia’s men hailed from Cartagena in Spain, and the similar bay of the new colony reminded them of home.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Captivating Cartagena - Prior to Heredia, earlier Spanish attempts to occupy the area had failed. In 1510, Juan de la Cosa, who captained the Santa Maria under Columbus, died fighting for the land alongside famed conquistadors Alonso de Ojeda and Francisco Pizarro. Ojeda and Pizarro survived but failed to establish a lasting colony. Afterward, Spanish interest in the area faded in favor of already-established territories.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Captivating Cartagena - As a strategically located port, Cartagena was a hub for Spain’s export of gold and silver and its import of enslaved Africans. Through the 16th and 17th centuries, slavery became Cartagena’s chief industry. Yet many of the enslaved escaped, forming walled communities in nearby areas as staging grounds for raids on the city to rescue newly arriving slaves. In 1691, the Spanish crown granted official freedom to the first and most successful of these settlements, San Basilio de Palenque, making it the first Black community in the Americas to be so recognized.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Captivating Cartagena - Today, the culture of Cartagena holds all of the depth and beauty of its long and storied history — mixing reverence for its colonial past with strong influences from the Indigenous and African communities that shaped it. La Ciudad Amurallada, The Walled City, holds much of Cartagena’s past, including the Puerta del Reloj (Clock Portal), the Palace of the Inquisition, and The Church of Saint Peter Claver, the Jesuit priest who dedicated his life to the care of Cartagena’s large enslaved population, becoming one of the patron saints of Colombia. Statues of colonial figures dot the landscape, paying homage to figures such as Heredia himself and India Catalina, an indigenous woman kidnapped as a child and raised by the Spanish who aided in Heredia’s domination of the indigenous communities.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Tobago in Color - Despite all the harm he caused, and all that transpired after as colonial powers struggled to control it, the island, which was conquered and reconquered more than thirty times, remains beautiful. Linked to Trinidad since the 1800s, the twin nations entered freedom together, liberated from British control in 1962, becoming a joint republic in 1976.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Tobago in Color - At only 116 square miles, Tobago offers a startling variety of natural terrains. In addition to rainforests, mountains and beaches, the island is home to foothills, plains, mangrove swamps, waterfalls, and coral reefs. Its historical imprint is wide as well as it shares with Trinidad the pride of adding CLR James, Eric Williams, and Henry Sylvester Williams, among others to the international college of thinkers, activists and politicians who have shaped our collective notion of Blackness through their work.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Tobago in Color - The island’s true treasures, however, are its people and culture. What Tobago calls its own are its traditional dances — the salaka, the reel, and the jig — and tambrin, the uniquely Tobagonian musical style that often accom- panies them. Festivals and celebrations commemorate the history of the island and the culture of the people, highlighting what is uniquely their own while honoring the connection to Africa that unites us all.</image:title>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Morocco: A Photographic Journey - The story of Marrakech begins in the year 475 AH (1062 AD), as two men walked together in the Sahara desert. Cousins by blood, brothers in arms and ideology, they had spent years at war and were touring the desert in search of a future.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Abu Bakr ibn Umar, leader of the Almoravids, and his top lieutenant Yusuf ibn Tashfin were continuing a fight begun by Abu Bakr’s brother Yahya ibn Umar and their teacher, the Maliki jurist and preacher Abdullah ibn Yasin. Both had fallen in battle, leaving it to Abu Bakr and Yusef to continue to expand their dominion, and with it their vision of Islam.</image:caption>

      <image:title>TRAVEL - Morocco: A Photographic Journey - Unrivaled in combat, the Almora- vids were unbeaten on the field and were, at that moment, suffering the consequences of their success. They had conquered and occupied Aghmat, a wealthy and sophisticated city, but the courtly life of a crowded city was proving impossible for an army of hardened desert nomads.</image:title>

Its arts, architec- ture and culture continue to touch the world, influencing everything from the fashion of Yves Saint-Laurent to modern interior design. Few places on earth bridge the gap between the old world and the new so well. This is Marrakech, a city in pictures.</image:title>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - A Modern Look at Kwanzaa - Since it was first introduced by Maulana Karenga in 1966, Kwanzaa has been part of the suite of holidays celebrated by Americans at the end of every year. Yet compared to other winter holidays, Kwanzaa is not especially popular, even among its target community of African Americans. Though a variety of Kwanzaa events take place every year, some attracting crowds of thousands, many of us are unfamiliar with the core principles of the celebration, its history or its original intent. For others, the disconnect is aesthetic, rooted in 60s perspectives on Black culture and diaspora and hard to connect with today. But the seven principles that form the core of the celebration, Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Familyhood / Cooperative economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity) and Imani (Faith), are powerful points of focus and we should be careful not to lose them to neglect.</image:title>
      <image:caption>To get a better understanding of the holiday, we sat down with Christopher Harrison, a PhD candidate in Ethics and Social Theory at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, whose studies focus on Kwanzaa among other African American social philosophies. We talked with Chris about the history and purpose of the celebration of “first fruits,” and designed our own modern interpretation of this fifty-four-year-old holiday.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - A Modern Look at Kwanzaa</image:title>
      <image:caption>AC: Even in the 60s, Kwanzaa’s popularity was limited by the idea that it was intended to supplant religious observances like Christmas. Does that continue to be true today? Can Kwanzaa be updated or incorporated into other holiday celebrations? CH: They can certainly be combined now, but that was not the initial intent. Early literature on the holiday explains it as an attempt to construct a new philosophical environment for the unlearning of racists tropes internalized by Black people in America and elsewhere. Those tropes were strongly present and even reinforced in American churches with their insistence on the whiteness of Jesus and God. Since then however the lines between the two have softened. In fact, a large number of the Kwanzaa celebrations held every year are given by Black Catholic churches. Kwanzaa is not about elevating race or culture to the level of a religion. History is full of examples of why that’s a bad idea. It’s about fostering and reinforcing commitment to the process of liberation for Black people around the world - a process, this year proves, is still ongoing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - A Modern Look at Kwanzaa</image:title>
      <image:caption>AC: Since the 1960s, diaspora has replaced Pan-Africanism as the primary lens for conceptualizing global Black culture. As a result, many of Kwanzaa’s  signature components, like Swahili or the red, black and green color scheme don’t resonate for some in the same way that they once did. Can the practice be updated while keeping its significance and meeting its goals? What are the important features that need to be maintained? CH: Without question, Kawaida, is the most important aspect to be maintained. Kawaida is the philosophy behind Kwanzaa as a celebration of the nguzo saba (seven principles), and can be thought of as the seven in combination. Maulana Karenga is still alive so it’s his perspective that really matters, but in my opinion it’s possible to alter much of the outer structure of the celebration and still make it work. But unless the principles and the goal of Kawaida are present, it’s not really Kwanzaa. Given that, it’s possible for the holiday to be celebrated in different ways in every culture and household while keeping to the observance of the nguzo saba. That flexibility would be more in accordance with how we see diaspora today, rather than Pan-Africanism in which the uniformity of the practice was part of the point. It also gives us the ability to update the practice while passing on the principles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Perfect Holiday: A Sweet Celebration in Brooklyn - Christmas is one of our favorite holidays. Every year the season brings up memories of growing up in Philadelphia. As kids we couldn’t wait to get to the Wannemaker Building to see the Christmas Light Show and tour the world of Ebenezer Scrooge in the animatronic Dickens Village. We’d walk beneath the dazzling ornaments hung in Rittenhouse Square before going home to sit with moms and grandmoms to be reminded of the parts of the holiday that aren’t about trees and toys. There was more family, food and fun than at any other part of the year. And - at least for a while - we didn’t have to go to school. It was a magical time, and each year we try to share the same warm feelings we remember with our New York family, transforming our home into a winter wonderland just in time for our big party.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our apartment isn’t huge, so getting it in shape for a party, even a small one, takes some creative designing. This year, while the decor included a few nods to traditional holiday accessories, we wanted the feel of this celebration to be more sophisticated and modern. We decided to start by moving away from the customary palette of reds and greens to embrace brighter hues with more contemporary accents. To inspire our new color story, we took a cue from a piece we live with every day: our Cameroonian juju hat. With its bright, fuchsia color as a base, we set out to find hot pink ribbon for the wreath and tree with baubles to match. Echoing the bright accessories, the sofa was loaded with pillows from our textile collection, including a Congolese-inspired kuba print in purple and fuchsia.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Perfect Holiday: A Sweet Celebration in Brooklyn - Grownup parties aren’t the most exciting thing for kids - even the ones with cookies and cider. But we all remember the exhilaration that comes from seeing gifts under the tree, so the party began with a special treat for each of our little guests. The mantel was filled with stockings, which in turn were filled with gifts for little hands. While favors are usually given out at the end of a party, we love giving kids a gift that can keep them happy throughout the event. For the adults we had a “Happy Holidays” bar with sparkling wine and light bites. More gifts were stacked just for them on our gifting table - a new holiday tradition we adopted to free up space around the tree.</image:title>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Perfect Holiday: A Sweet Celebration in Brooklyn - Effortless Holiday Entertaining Tips</image:title>
      <image:caption>Festival of Color Decorating for the holidays is just like designing for the home. Start with a color palette that complements your existing decor. Pick three shades for your holiday decor. For a modern touch be sure to include a strong neutral like black or gray. Once you have your color palette decided, you can go wild with ornaments and baubles, stockings, wrapping paper and other accessories that fit within your color story. The end result will be a visually striking winter wonderland.  Personal Ornamentation Ornaments that have a personal connection to you and your family are important heirlooms to display during the holidays. Showcase any heirloom pieces on your tree, at your tabletop, and wherever you bring holiday decor into your home. And if you’re in need of personalized ornaments, make collecting them a new part of your tradition. Adding a new family ornament annually can be a fun way to grow your collection!  Soulful Tunes Donny Hathaway’s This Christmas, Boyz II Men crooning Let It Snow, The Temptations version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, no party is complete without a mixtape of favorite soulful holiday tunes. A few days before your event, be sure to make a playlist of family favorites, and in your invitation you can even ask guests for a few suggestions. Be sure to have enough music for a few hours of shuffle play. At the end of the night, share your playlist as a party favor that guests can enjoy throughout the season.  For the Babies For your littlest guests, have presents at the ready upon their arrival. Stockings by the chimney can be filled with special treats for children. Child-friendly gifts can also be placed beneath the tree. Remember, they’ve waited all year long for Santa, so don’t make them wait one minute longer. Allow them to rip right in and open something to play with as the evening’s festivities go along. It will make for some very happy little ones.  Bar Style Craft a bar that welcomes your guests upon arrival. Outfit a bar cart, console table, or any extra surface with shimmering glassware, cordials and tonics for the evening. Also have the area well-stocked with plates, flatware, napkins and other items that guests can grab so that they can easily enjoy all of the goodies served throughout your holiday celebration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Goddess Party: Gods &amp;amp; Heroes in Morocco’s Jnane Tamsna Resort - AC: We love the term “cultural curator.” How does culture fit into your work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>TS: I’m a sensitive, curious, and passion- ate being from a mix of cultures. My mother is French, of Senegalese/Guadeloupean origin, my father is American (Irish/Scottish), and I grew up between Morocco and the UK, and have lived in Ethiopia and Canada, as well. These heritages all feed my love for storytelling traditions and my commitment to community and family, which includes my blood relations and the souls who have joined my tribe over the years. Gratitude is a practice for me, and it’s the theme of my next release, Toque del Sol, a summer vibe produced by Moroccan producer Reqteq. I’m committed to the cause of mental health awareness and I strive to use my platform to spread empathy and dismantle stigmas, to open a judgement-free conversation around these issues.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Goddess Party: Gods &amp;amp; Heroes in Morocco’s Jnane Tamsna Resort - AC: Your 30th birthday party looks like the ultimate celebration. What does this particular milestone mean to you?</image:title>
      <image:caption>TS: Gods and Heroes was the theme I chose for the final and main night of my 30th birthday week. I knew getting everyone involved in putting costumes together would build excitement and, more importantly, work as a great ice breaker at the party, since so many of my friends had never met before. I don’t particular- ly attribute much meaning to age as a number, but I love any excuse to throw a good party! In the months leading up to turning 30, I found a deep sense of inner peace, acceptance, and an ability to better manage questions of ego and perspective, refining my understand- ing of purpose and focusing in on my dreams. A lot of this was achieved through “work on the self” I did through journaling, meditation, and with wonderful life coaches. Something I find wonderful is that, in my mind, this whole week of parties was about celebrating my tribe and how grateful I am for them and the roles they’ve all played in my life more than anything else.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Goddess Party: Gods &amp;amp; Heroes in Morocco’s Jnane Tamsna Resort - AC: What was meaningful in having this group of people celebrate with you?</image:title>
      <image:caption>TS: Having lived in four countries across three continents, I knew I wanted all the people dear to me to come together for my 30th. People arrived in waves, over the course of three days, coming from Los Angeles, Stockholm, Montreal Dubai, and more. Over 40 countries were rep- resented in the guest list. This is very represen- tative of my life and diverse community, which transcends borders, boundaries, and back- grounds. It meant the world to me to have these different characters from different episodes and seasons of my life, all mingling in the same place. As beautiful as the decor and the costumes and the setting of Jnane Tamsna were, the defining factor of this party’s success was the energy. People connected and vibed on a truly deep level, and watching that synergy unfold and feeling that love is the greatest gift I could ever be given. Since the party ended they’ve been hanging out in their respective home cities — from London to Geneva to New York. It makes me so happy to have had new friendships be born at the party and then live on. If there’s only one reason I throw parties, then that is it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Goddess Party: Gods &amp;amp; Heroes in Morocco’s Jnane Tamsna Resort - AC: We recently listened to your song The Genie, with Moses Belanger. As a musician, how did music help complete the environment?</image:title>
      <image:caption>TS: I’m very passionate about experiencing music in live gigs, festivals or raves, so the music program was very important to me. The line up was amazing, and though I don’t really believe in coincidences anymore, there was a truly wonderful sense of serendipity for the event. The night before the Gods and Heroes party we had an “Oriental swag” party where everyone wore clothes inspired by Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. We had Senegalese food as a tribute to part of my origins, and the wonderful Guedra Guedra, an amazing Moroccan DJ, played an incredible couple of sets that had people vibing before during and after dinner. On the Gods and Heroes evening, Fadel Lahlou, of the electro-acoustic duo Sound of Mint, played a hypnotic set during the cocktail hour, on a part of our property that’s anchored by an old earth-built country house. Together with all the amazing costumes, it really felt like being transported to another time. Daqqa musicians, a traditional troupe that bursts into Moroccan parties with chants, percussion and horns, led us through the magical candlelit garden paths to the dinner table, with myself and four friends being carried in ornate palanquins, because why not? We don’t get many opportunities to get carried to dinner past our toddler years but I certainly recommend it. My dear friend and fantastic DJ, Edamame started off the dance floor with some soulful house music and by chance the iconic DJ Ali Schwarz, one half of Tiefschwarz — a monument of electronic music — was in Marrakech. I invited Ali to join through a common friend and he gifted us an incredible set. Afterward we had Nairo, who funnily enough I sat next to in class when I was 12. He was also in town and offered to play a set. It was an amazing afro-house vibe that kept everyone on the dance floor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - Goddess Party: Gods &amp;amp; Heroes in Morocco’s Jnane Tamsna Resort - AC: The party was held at Jnane Tamsna, the sprawling, absolute- ly breathtaking resort that you and your mother run, which is also Morrocco’s first Black-owned hotel. Tell us about the journey to that amazing accomplishment, and why Jnane was the right place for your party.</image:title>
      <image:caption>TS: We run our business as a family. My mother Meryanne Loum-Martin, did all the architecture and interior design, and my father Gary Martin, an ethnobotanist, did all the gardens and landscaping. My brother Edward helped run the space for a while as well, before leaving to pursue a Ph.D. in Black Geographies at UC Berkeley. My parents had very different upbringings on complete- ly different sides of the planet before meeting by chance on the Zocalo, a busy central square in Oaxaca, Mexico. He lived in a remote village with no phones, so for two years they wrote each other letters and met up for trips every six months or so. Eventu- ally he made the jump to Paris to be with her, and my brother and I were born there. My mother’s parents were in search of a holiday home and my mother, who’d dreamt of being an architect, but became a lawyer like the rest of her family, took the opportunity. Traveling to Marrakech, she was spellbound by its beauty and magic, and made two beautiful houses that she would rent out when we weren’t on holiday. They became an instant success, with press and a loyal A-list clientele. In the late '90s, my parents left Paris for Marrakech and created their own project — Jnane Tamsna. Crazy enough, my father used to cycle around the Palmeraie, the area where we’ve always lived, years before even finding our land. He’d see it and think, “I could plant lots of things here.” And as destiny would have it, this is the land they were shown by the real estate agent.</image:caption>

      <image:title>ENTERTAINING - To Be Hosted: More Than Just a Seat at the Table - “Our dinner parties are about ownership, belonging, leisure, and community,” says Amber Mayfield, founder of To Be Hosted, an innovative supper club that hosts dinners focused on highlighting Black food culture and building community. “We gather at one table, share a family-style meal, and have meaningful conversation.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Amber is a master curator. The Forbes Under 30 alum who came from the world of tele- vision, started the supper club as a side hustle. The first events were held wherever space could be found — the basement of a brown- stone in Harlem, a coffee shop, or a co-working space after hours. Six years later, the brand has grown considerably, holding pop-ups across the country and producing events for Netflix, Pinterest, and YouTube.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Bar carts are not only beautiful decorations for a home,” shares Camille. “They also serve a very practical purpose. There are tons of gorgeous bar carts available at many furniture stores, new and vintage, in a range of prices. A bar cart serves as a great sidekick to any celebration. Instead of traveling back and forth to the kitchen or dining room, you can bring the party to you and keep it there. It makes serving guests or letting them serve themselves so much easier. They are a staple for any home that likes to entertain and keep all those pretty bar tools organized.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Celebrating Our Sound: Music Icon Dyana Williams and the Making of Black Music Month - ACM: We're so excited to speak with you for Black Music Month to learn more about how it came together because it’s such an amazing story and so important for us today. To start with, tell us about the Black Music Association. How did the organization come together and what was its purpose?</image:title>
      <image:caption>DW: The Black Music Association was created by Kenny Gamble after a visit to Nashville Music City, which is known as a country music capital. And he felt that something could be done similarly in terms of organizing members of the music industry community to come together to show, not only our cultural contributions to America's indigenous music, but the economic impact of African American music throughout the world. And so the Black Music Association was established. It was a wonderful aggregation of radio personalities, artists, everybody from Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Dionne Warwick, Teddy Pendergrass, all of the artists of the day as well as the songwriters, producers, retailers, educators…It was just a wonderful entity of people who were like-minded and coming out of the creative culture of producing Black music.  So that was the birth of the black Music Association in 1978. Credit to Kenny Gamble, and a group of other people. I was a member. We were a couple at that time. We have three children and a six-and-a-half-year-old grandson now, but much like the two of you working together, Gamble and I did the same thing because we were committed to letting the world know that Black music isn't just to feel-good. It permeates every aspect of our culture — language, fashion dance… Black music is the flavor of the planet, not to discount other genres of music. But that was the beginning. And Gamble and I were proud parents. It was the birth of hours of discussion, of dreaming, planning and wanting to see a coalition of togetherness and unity in the Black music industry. And for a period, it was a very powerful entity that did a lot with the Black music and various record companies and in communities around the United States. ACM: When was the first recognition of Black Music Month, and what was it like? DW: On June 7, 1979, President Jimmy Carter, at the request of the Black Music Association, hosted a grand picnic on the South Lawn of the White House, with performances by Billy Eckstine, Chuck Berry, Evelyn Champagne King, and others. Clarence Avant, known as “The Godfather” in the music industry, was very instrumental in getting us into the White House. He was very politically connected and made the initial call. Obviously, they were receptive, they held a reception on the picnic on the grounds of the South Lawn for over 200 people and invited members of the Black Music Association to attend. I had the honor of sitting with the President and Mrs. Carter. And as we know, President Carter grew up in the south, and he loved Black music. Initially he was sitting at the picnic table with us. Then he went and sat on the ground with his wife and daughter. But before the performance ended, he was sitting on the stage, clapping his hands and nodding his head. Then he stood up, and he was clapping and getting in the spirit of the gospel music. It was a great event. It was warm, down to earth and very much in the style of President Jimmy Carter. If you go to my Twitter timeline, I’ve posted the only existing footage from that day. And I'm working with an editor to form it into a short film of that day and the origins of Black Music Month.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Celebrating Our Sound: Music Icon Dyana Williams and the Making of Black Music Month - ACM: There's been so much coming out in movies and documentaries about Black music. We have documentaries on Nina Simone and Sam Cooke, movies on Billie Holliday, Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson, etc. We've seen so much about iconic Black musicians and the price that they paid for their honesty. Do you see that same bravery, the willingness to tell the truth for the sake of the people, in today's artists? And who if anyone stands out to you for the statements that they're making with their music right now?</image:title>
      <image:caption>DW: Those are all courageous artists. Back in the day, there was Harry Belafonte. I mean, the list is long of creatives and artists who used their platform. Even Sammy Davis, who was later criticized for his support of Richard Nixon, he was very active before he made those statements. You do have a group of people, of artists, who are vocal about consciousness and our community solidarity. The first one who comes to mind is Beyoncé. She is Blackity Black, Black. You saw her performance at the Super Bowl when she came out with the Black Panther outfit. Beyoncé has used her platform as has her sister Solange, singing, “Don't Touch My Hair,” and so on. They clearly indicate the racism and the divide in our American society. Jay Cole, Nas — the list is long of artists who are conscious, who use their platforms as highly visible and audible individuals to bring messages of struggle, perseverance and love. ACM: Since the founding of the Black Music Association and then Black Music Month, is there anything you think our music has lost or gained? What message would you like to give to those who are coming up in music now about why their work is important to the community?  DW: Black music is a constantly evolving energy entity. First, because Black people are not monolithic. There are some people who are critical of Hip Hop and some of its imagery. That has always existed. When Chuck Berry and Little Richard came out, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a Black woman coming out of the church in Philadelphia, playing rock and roll and the electric guitar — parents were clutching their pearls. Now a lot of people are saying that R&amp;B is dead. It’s not dead. It’s being reimagined by young people of this time. And we shouldn’t be so critical and negative about it because it's not what we are accustomed to. Instead, the question is how do we celebrate these young artists, how do we applaud them and support them? I love this generation of artists. I love the creativity that exists. Some people are really super talented. And then you've got those that are not so much but still get hit records because they have their finger on the pulse of dance or styling or some of those other elements that people are attracted to.  I’ll say one more thing. I’m on the board of the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tennessee. It's a museum 22 years in the making. It's 56,000-square-feet of seven galleries that take us from the 1600s all the way up to right now. It is incredible, and I want to encourage people to come, visit and become members (we have all levels of membership). This is a museum for us, by us and it is an amazing, beautiful institution that celebrates music and culture, America's indigenous music, our soundtrack to our lives.

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Ace Clark: It Ain’t All Love - It Ain’t All Love, Clark’s 2022 release is an 8-track exploration of the ups and downs of real relationships. Missing the prideful facades and misogynist undertones that are typically cited as characteristic of Hip-Hop and Black men alike, Clark spends each track examining experiences as if they were diamonds, holding each side up to the light, hoping to see it a little more clearly. The perspective isn’t perfect, and that, in part, is the point. Mistakes, miscommunications, hurt feelings and bittersweet memories all make appearances, with the artist’s narrative voice landing on both the right and wrong side of issues as the album moves from track to track.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The album’s opener, Hold You Down, is soberly romantic, depicting love with a happy ending while detailing the path it took to get there — from a hug he hopes will never end to recognizing the danger pride can pose to love. “Sometimes I’m the problem, sometimes I’m the solution,” he admits in a later track, Sometimes, which offers a male perspective on the things that can change in a relationship from day to day — suggesting that understanding is best when it goes both ways. “Sometimes I want a lazy day...” he muses, “Wanna be courted, afforded grace when I make mistakes...” From a different perspective, in Cold Blooded, he laments, “I’ll be more careful the next time, before I chase someone that ain’t mine.” Wherever he lands in a given song, it’s hard to fault the honesty of his narrative. Adding to the appeal of the storytelling is the music that supports and uplifts the lyrics. Elements of soul, jazz, and R&amp;B blend and mix to create a vibe that matches the subject matter perfectly. These aren’t club joints, this is music to vibe out to, let go, and enjoy the sounds that can happen when Hip-Hop speaks to the rest of Black music.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Soul Man: New Orleans-born artist Greg Banks Is the Saint of Soul Music - AphroChic: What first drew you to music?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Greg Banks: Coming from New Orleans there's a tradition called Super Sunday where tons of musicians come together. They have this procession that goes throughout the city. And I was fortunate enough to live on one of the routes. So as soon as I was about five, when they would come I would go to my front door and I would stand out watching. And at that moment, I understood the power of leadership. I didn't understand what came with it. But what I saw was this man leading the band and all these people coming around and wanting to be there. And it was positive. I understood that much. It was a joy and love that resonated in the air that people wanted to be a part of. I didn't quite know at that age what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to have that impact. AC: New Orleans is one of our favorite cities. It truly does feel like music is in the air. You grew up there during Hurricane Katrina. How did that harrowing event influence your life? GB: Hurricane Katrina was a moment that really changed my life. I was a sophomore in high school, and a great student. And I was in the marching band. Everything I thought was normal got turned upside down. Some of my friends I’ve still never seen since then. My childhood home was destroyed, all of my childhood photos, all those things were lost. My siblings were all over the United States for months at a time. The only thing that got me through that, outside of the grace of God, first and foremost, was that one thing that stayed present throughout my life, and that was music. And at that age, I was able to realize, if this ever happens in life again, this unforeseen circumstance, I want to continue to do what got me through. And the one thing that got me through was my music. Not just keeping it to myself and holding it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Soul Man: New Orleans-born artist Greg Banks Is the Saint of Soul Music - AC: What brought you to New York?</image:title>
      <image:caption>GB: A couple of months after Hurricane Katrina, I ended up in Natchez, Mississippi. I went back to New Orleans after Natchez and I got a full scholarship to Xavier University where I studied classical voice. And while I was there I felt like this is cool and I’m creating a buzz, but I felt like there was something more that needed to happen. I felt like I wanted to be more than a hometown hero. And for me, the best way to prove that was to go to a city, the biggest town there is and be a small fish until I became enormous. So that's what I did. I packed up what I had and I moved. AC: You’ve been in New York now for quite some time, performing and building your craft as a musician. How did Concert on the Block come about? GB: When the world shut down and music venues closed and festivals, I was scared, to say the least. Because as an artist who's cultivated a career following somewhat of a blueprint — which is you go out, you perform at the venues, you make connections, you build up your brand, you build up awareness, and then you can live off your art. I was finally at a point where I felt like that was about to happen and then the world shut down. So for me, it was about how can I take complete ownership of where I am with all that I can and can't control? Secondly, am I doing everything I can do to manifest my dreams? One day, I was like, I'm not gonna sit on the couch anymore and moan and complain. I'm gonna make something happen. So that's what I did.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Soul Man: New Orleans-born artist Greg Banks Is the Saint of Soul Music - ACM: You are definitely spreading the love all over New York City and have even been recognized by Pepsi as a goodwill ambassador for the city. There’s one particular person whose life has been changed by an interaction you had with him at one of your pop-up concerts. Can you tell us about your friendship with Jayson Corwise, an unhoused man who you met in the subway?</image:title>
      <image:caption>GB: I met Jason indirectly at Jay Street Metro Tech. And I was playing a song, Something in the Air, and he was on the other side of the platform. And I just saw him staring and he walked over and came down. He stood there for about 20 minutes and was like man, that’s a beautiful song and he walked away. So I saw him again at Metropolitan on the mezzanine and this time he sung a couple of words as he was passing by. The next time I saw him I was playing the same song and I talked to him and he just let it out and started singing about this lost love that he misses and he wishes he could make it right again. Two things happened that night. I got home and showed my manager the video, and she said, "You got to put this up." So I put it up and the next day I had 500,000 likes on Facebook. People started saying: "We love this so much, thank you for this moment." So I was like, what he did was monumental, I’m going to go find him. So I bought a prepaid cell phone and I went back to the same station, week after week and I finally saw him again. I told him what happened with the song and how amazing it was, and I’m like, "Listen here's your phone, we're going to set up a studio session, we got to go to studio." So I gave him the phone. And a couple of days went by and we actually set up the session and he came.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Soul Man: New Orleans-born artist Greg Banks Is the Saint of Soul Music - AC: Wow! Such an amazing story and it absolutely shows where your heart is in your work as a musician. Are you working on new music with Jayson?</image:title>
      <image:caption>GB: Yes. We’re putting out the first single, Something In The Air featuring Jayson Corwise. And that will be followed by another single titled My Way, that tells the story in three minutes about how I’ve come to realize that I have a specific purpose. And that will be followed by a single called God Stepped In. And God Stepped In was a song that I wrote during the pandemic, because what I was seeing was these catastrophic wars and all this chaos happening in the world. My mother raised us on the Bible and reading the Bible, there were so many stories where man was faced with an obstacle bigger than him and God's intervention was the only thing that changed it. So the song is a story of all these things happening in the world and how it will all change and become different if God intervenes. I believe that intervention will be a change of heart for us, who knows what it will be in our lifetime, but it has to happen in order for life to change.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Nathalie Joachim Gives Voice - AC: What first drew you to the world of music and composition?</image:title>
      <image:caption>NJ: I’ve been drawn to music as long as I can remember. The truth is that from the moment I became aware of music, it has been what I’ve loved most and is quite simply part of the very fabric of my being. I started playing flute in my public elementary school band, and soon thereafter auditioned and was admitted to the Music Advancement Program at The Juilliard School and then to Juilliard’s Pre-College Division and College Division, where I did my undergrad. In reality, making music with my voice came to me far before I’d ever encountered a flute, particularly through my relationship with my grandmother. AC: Your first album is an ode to Haiti, but you were born in Brooklyn. How did your relationship with Haiti take shape? NJ: My parents immigrated to this country to escape the dictatorships of the Duvaliers, so we were not traveling there frequently when I was young. My grandmother came to live with us in the States during that time, which was amazing for our relationship, but it was also very clear that she missed her life in the countryside. She returned to Haiti as soon as it was safe to do so. It wasn’t until I was older that I started to travel to Haiti with regularity and frequency, and as an adult it’s been a real priority of mine.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/660301a88a5b600ef906acc1/2565bc66-438d-4f12-ba5e-5ccae13081ee/sounds1-3.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>SOUNDS - Nathalie Joachim Gives Voice - AC: For this album, you were inspired by Haitian women — Carole Demesmin, Emerante de Pradines, and Toto Bissainthe, as well as your grandmother. How did you seek to tell their stories in this work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>NJ: All of these women, my grandmother included, are and were forces to be reckoned with. And each of them made it possible for me to be doing the work that I’m doing today. My grandmother is the first person who encouraged me to be myself, share my story, and to use my voice in service of both of those tasks. She was the first person in my life to see and accept me entirely for exactly who I chose to be, because that is what she had to do for herself in her own life. In meeting Carole, Emerante, and Milena Sandler (Toto Bissainthe’s daughter) while researching this project, I found that they too had that in common, in addition to a deep desire to uplift our history and the people of Haiti by reconnecting us to our roots. They each lived lives of service to our people through their music. Carole as a champion of the storytelling practice of vodou that connects us to our African history; Emerante as a feminist against all odds; and Toto as an international advocate and truth teller. AC: For many of us in the Diaspora, Haiti is symbolic for its overthrow of French rule. But like all places, Haiti is not bound to a single moment in history. What do you want us to know about the Haiti of today from this album? NJ: In my heart, I hoped to share so much of the beauty and strength of Haiti through this album and these stories. That’s relevant as much in our history as it is today, and, to me, the women of Haiti have been so critical in carrying that legacy forward. The country certainly still has its challenges politically, socially, and economically, but Haitians are fighters. We continue to be makers of beautiful somethings sculpted from what, to the naked eye, appears to be virtually nothing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SOUNDS - Nathalie Joachim Gives Voice - AC: Diaspora is not always, nor is it required to be, a harmonious set of relationships, yet music is one of the strongest cultural ties that we maintain — and that maintains us. What music from the Diaspora inspires you and how do you weave them into your own music?</image:title>
      <image:caption>NJ: I think it’s clear that the rhythmic roots of West African music never left any of us. It’s the essence of what connects us, and I think is what’s most prevalent in my own music. I think that’s not just because it’s interesting or evocative, but because it is in our bones. That keeps us close to one another, whether we tap into it actively or not. However, I am being deliberate about using music as a connector. For example, Flutronix’s forthcoming work, Discourse, is an evening-length musical production and a community-centered social change initiative rooted in connectivity. In response to the fear, uncertainty, and frustration now dividing America, Discourse uses oral history, music, and immersive performance to honor individuals’ stories, foster collectivity and create a sonic picture of community. It’s been a remarkable experience to create work of this nature, and it is really a continuation of the type of work that Fanm d’Ayiti ignited in my practice.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - The Clarion Call: The People’s CDC Provides A Sobering Look at the COVID-19 Crisis - AC: Can you give us a clear picture of where we are right now, as a nation, with COVID-19?</image:title>
      <image:caption>PCDC: Looking at wastewater, which is our best measure of infections right now, community transmission is rising. The number of cases fluctuate from week to week, but they are high everywhere. Hospitalizations are rising almost everywhere as well, except the West Coast and some mountain states (for now). Hospitalizations are especially high among seniors/older adults. Everyone needs to obtain the bivalent booster, especially those who are 65 or older. AC: The explosion of infections following Delta and Omicron and the decreases that followed seem to have given us a skewed view of our progress. Overall, how do the rates of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths for 2022 compare to those same numbers from 2020? Are we making progress or losing ground? PCDC: It's interesting that there’s a perception of a decrease, probably because last winter was the worst surge of the entire pandemic. However, last summer, with the swarm of variants, we actually had more transmissions than the winters of 2020 or 2021 (particularly before December). We were consistently at a high level in 2022, since the government removed more protective layers, including mask mandates, PCR testing, and case reporting, and due to uncontrolled transmission, COVID continues to evolve more variants that become more transmissible. Cases are being significantly undercounted due to the lack of an infrastructure to report rapid testing results and the drop in urgency for testing. Now, relative to the amount of transmission, there are somewhat lower rates of hospitalizations, due in part to the bivalent booster and COVID treatments like Paxlovid. But we could be doing much, much better — and our healthcare system can’t take this sustained pressure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - The Clarion Call: The People’s CDC Provides A Sobering Look at the COVID-19 Crisis - AC: There seem to be a number of nuances to interpreting official reports that can make them difficult to understand. If states or hospitals aren’t required to report COVID numbers, how accurate are the current statistics? If vaccination rates are based on the number of people who’ve received a single shot, when two of the three available vaccines require two shots, and there’s no mention of boosters, how vaccinated are we?</image:title>
      <image:caption>PCDC: Without good case reporting, we are flying a little bit blind. Wastewater — which doesn’t depend on taking or reporting a test — is the next best set of data; if folks are sick, then COVID is in the sewers. But we need a lot more sites testing their wastewater. The CDC does measure vaccines and boosters — and boosters are the number we focus on, because one dose, especially if it’s been more than a few months, is not doing a lot. We also look at hospitalizations and deaths, which also give us an indication of how the country is dealing with COVID at the moment. None of these single measures tell us the whole answer, but collectively, they give us a sense of how we are doing. We do a lot of this work at the People’s CDC; take a look at our weekly Weather Reports that interpret the data and the latest research so the general public can understand what is going on. You can find this on our website, Instagram, Facebook, Mastodon, and Twitter; you can also subscribe to our Substack so you get the weekly updates automatically.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - The Clarion Call: The People’s CDC Provides A Sobering Look at the COVID-19 Crisis - AC: Why is it so difficult to obtain clear information? Who actually benefits from obfuscated data and skewed reporting when they only make it more difficult for us to recover from this crisis?</image:title>
      <image:caption>PCDC: While it’s arguably hard to know the intention behind this obfuscation of data, it’s clear that the goal of the government — at all levels and regardless of the party in charge — is to encourage us to engage in activities that generate capital (such as traveling, shopping, dining indoors at restaurants, and going to work). Policymakers, businesses, and corporate media alike continue to decry the economic impact of COVID-cautious behaviors, because our concern for our lives and our bodies are inconsequential compared to the impact on their wallets. The CDC itself has released a report showing that half of adults believed transmission to be low to moderate, despite sustained high transmission — which goes to show the failure of the CDC to communicate about COVID accurately in the first place. It’s important to recognize this because when people perceive local transmission to be high, they are more likely to use preventive behaviors, such as avoiding indoor dining and maintaining masking in public spaces. The same CDC study underscored that if people knew transmission is high, they would be more careful. We should demand clear and responsible communications from the federal, state, and local governments.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - The Clarion Call: The People’s CDC Provides A Sobering Look at the COVID-19 Crisis - AC: As we continue to see higher rates of travel and indoor gathering, what can/should we do to keep ourselves protected?</image:title>
      <image:caption>PCDC: At the individual level, it’s all about layers — testing, wearing high-filtration masks in indoor spaces (verified N95 grade masks), avoiding large crowds, using good ventilation, employing air filtration, getting the booster (and a flu shot!), seeing people outdoors, and avoiding exposures before gatherings. However, at the systems level, there’s so much more that could be done. Our governments should send out monthly free tests to all US residents and N95 masks. They should fund fast and accessible PCR clinics throughout the country, because PCR tests are the gold standard, meaning they have far less false negatives than rapid tests. Make reporting test results easy and have data be well-organized and accessible to the public. Set up more wastewater testing. Communicate clearly and frequently about the risks of the virus, especially Long COVID, to the public. Get vaccines into communities. Everyone should have paid sick leave. All buildings and public spaces should have ventilation standards and air filtration, especially in high-traffic areas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - The Clarion Call: The People’s CDC Provides A Sobering Look at the COVID-19 Crisis - AC: What are the specific policies that you feel need to be enacted at the state and federal level, and what are the specific steps we all can take to put pressure on policymakers to address our needs?</image:title>
      <image:caption>PCDC: We have a duty to protect our most vulnerable neighbors and each other. This means that we have to make public spaces safe for people who are immunocompromised, disabled (including those with Long COVID), elderly, and more. We know that the pandemic has disproportionately affected poor people, Black, Latino, Indigenous, and people of color due to economic factors and structural racism. With increasing evidence that COVID impacts our immune systems for at least eight months — contributing to the rise in severe RSV and flu and overflowing pediatric hospitals — this means we have to do everything we can at all levels to reduce COVID transmission. COVID is not the flu — it is a multisystemic virus, the long-term effects of which are unpredictable, regardless of one’s age, health, or any other factors. To this end, we need to mobilize at all levels, both at the grassroots — the levels of our families and households —and at the level of our government. Lots of people who continue to care about COVID and understand its risks have been feeling hopeless lately. But there is so much hope and efficacy in coming together to organize in real-life spaces. We don’t mean going into unsafe public unmasked spaces. We mean following the example of organizations like Mask Bloc NYC, which has mobilized hundreds of New Yorkers around mask mandates in public transport, by asking them to call, email, and virtually testify at City Council and Transportation hearings. They succeeded in getting rid of NY’s terrible “You Do You” campaign and in having the MTA [NYC’s transit system] return signs recommending masking. And they’re still continuing their advocacy, with guides like the NYC Mask Guide, conveying valuable information about which public venues still enforce masking protocols.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>PCDC: This work is difficult and tiring as an individual. You must find other like-minded people, who either live in the same community, or work in the same workplace. Advocate together around specific demands; providing moral support to one another in the process is essential. Specific steps can include writing to and speaking with your local, state, and federal political leaders, recruiting and educating business interest groups to support these policies, and enlisting the support of local community organizations. Make small wins, however tiny, and publicize them widely! You are not alone — we are not alone — in wanting a just and healthy response to the COVID-19 crisis — and together we can and will create that response. Join or create local organizations to advocate for COVID safety, or join us by filling in our volunteer form and one of us will contact you shortly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Just Breathe: Kiesha Yokers and the Importance of Breathwork - AC: You’ve mentioned in your bio that you were nervous as a child and grew into an “anxious, over-pleasing adult.” What do you feel was the source of your anxieties? How did you learn to move past over pleasing behavior?</image:title>
      <image:caption>KY: Trauma, for sure. Trauma in my childhood had me very anxious inside. On the outside, you would have seen a high-functioning, high-performing, over-achieving people-pleaser who was sunny and bright. Inside I was worried about everything and everyone. I now understand this to be hyper-vigilance. Because life felt unpredictable, I carried with me the desire to ensure everything was okay everywhere I went. This started at seven years old. By the time I hit my 30s, I was severely burnt out. Folks think that trauma has to be massive. That is the biggest wake-up call of all. There is "big T trauma" and "little t trauma, " which all matter. It affects our developing nervous system. Trauma isn’t necessarily what happened to you but how it gets integrated into your life afterward. When I learned that, it really hit me hard. That was the catalyst for a change. When my “self-care” wasn’t self-caring, I knew I needed help. I am all for a bubble bath and a good book, but performative self-care did nothing for my nervous system. I found a great therapist and somatic teacher to help me move past pleasing people (it took time), reparent myself in many ways, connect with that inner child who had to grow up before her time and set real boundaries that gave me my power back.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Just Breathe: Kiesha Yokers and the Importance of Breathwork - AC: What are breathwork, somatics and embodiment? How do they work individually and collectively and to what respective ends? Are there other methods that you advocate?</image:title>
      <image:caption>KY: Breathwork is a conscious manipulation of the breath to achieve a specific outcome (i.e. energy, relaxation, elimination of mind chatter, and pain). When people ask me where to start, I advise them to begin with breath awareness. Awareness of how you are breathing right now or at any given point gives you insight into how you breathe. Studies show that most of the population is not breathing correctly, but you must start paying attention to how you breathe and notice how it feels. Do you take short, shallow breaths? Do you breathe through your nose or mouth? Is there tension anywhere in your body? Breath awareness is an ongoing practice that will allow you to move on to trying different forms of breathing. Soma is the Greek word for the living body. Our soma is our first-person experience and intelligence of our body. It's what we experience from within, from sensations to emotions. Your soma holds your thoughts, emotions, and expression. Somatics is the study and practice of soma through a growing internal awareness. It is a mind-body practice encompassing bodywork, movement, and mindful strategies that call you into experiencing what it's like to be in your body. Somatics is used in dance, movement, body rehabilitation, therapy, and more. Somatics is also awareness. One crucial key to somatics is awareness of the internal body (interoception) and awareness of how the body moves in space (proprioception). Embodiment allows our bodies to take the shape of the traits we want to show up with. We all know what an angry person looks like. They embody the trait of anger. What would it look like to embody traits of rest, healing, peace, sweetness, or softness? The work I do teaches people how to use their minds and body to create this new shape they would like to take on. That is embodiment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Just Breathe: Kiesha Yokers and the Importance of Breathwork - AC: Tell us about Lindywell and your role as head of its breathwork center. Are there ways that you find you need to tailor your approach to breathwork for it to better fit with Pilates?</image:title>
      <image:caption>KY: Great question! I am the Head of Breathwork and Somatic Programs for Lindywell, a wellness brand offering a best-in-class Pilates and breathwork app and live somatic and breathwork classes. It is my dream job! We are a woman-owned company with a unique perspective. We take a grace-over-guilt approach to wellness that makes wellness accessible to all bodies. We are proud of our diverse Pilates instructors and are committed to ensuring that all women live life to the fullest. I’m there because Lindywell gets that breath- work is transformative. This is not a fad or a trend we are jumping on. It’s core to our approach. Breath is one of the central components of the Pilates method. Pilates utilizes breath within exercises to support the mind-body connection, engage specific muscle groups, and facilitate healthy movement patterns. The focus on breath throughout Pilates is one of the reasons it is so good for your physical and mental health. Given that stress is a primary concern for our members and community, we wanted to provide more specific guidance and support for using breathwork not just in Pilates but as a stand-alone wellness practice.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Just Breathe: Kiesha Yokers and the Importance of Breathwork - AC: You have mentioned that the wellness industry as a whole is not welcoming to people of color. What has been your experience as a Black woman carving out a space in this industry? What advice or strategies would you offer to anyone looking to increase the number of Black and brown instructors and industry leaders?</image:title>
      <image:caption>KY: What I know is that the wellness industry needs to talk to us (but isn’t). They need to include us in the conversation because our health is at stake. For instance, Black women purchase more personal care products than any other group. Yet, we have a higher amount of toxins in our products that are specifically marketed to us. Black maternal health outcomes are criminal. Toxic stress is killing us, yet access to mental health services is abysmal. Breathwork comes from Brown and Black bodies but is not mainstream in our culture and is often inaccessible. Even if it was, many wellness studios talk about this being a safe space, but we know that is false. My body can feel unsafe when I am the only Black-bodied person in the room. A vigilance is present in the back of my mind when I hear those words. “This is a safe space” is not a trauma-informed statement. For example, trauma-informed teachers know that asking people to close their eyes may create anxiety in the body, so the invitation to soften their gaze or keep their eyes open needs to be made. Students deserve to be reminded that they have agency over their bodies. There are some incredible thought leaders in the somatic space (Sonya Renne Taylor, Prentiss Hemphill, and Resmaa Menakem), but there are not enough. I believe that this work has the power to change minds and bodies, our homes, and our entire communities to heal from trauma. I want to see more black and brown instructors in somatic work, whether it is breathwork or any other form. My advice is to reach out to those you admire doing the work. Connect and ask questions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Mind &amp;amp; Body: What Tai Chi Can Do for the Black Community - What is Tai Chi?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1644 AD, the Ming Dynasty ended in China, replaced by the Qing. In the process, Ming general Chen Wangting quickly went from being a celebrated officer to a wanted fugitive. While little is known of the general’s life — there are many exciting legends and few verified facts — it is known that he eventually retired to his family’s land, Chenjiagou, literally, “Chen Family Village,” located in Wen County, which was also home to the famed Shaolin Temple. There he combined his years of military experience with his studies in Taoist (or Daoist) theory to create what is now known as T’ai Chi Ch’uan (or Taijiquan), the “Supreme Ultimate Fist.” Originally a battlefield martial art and protected secret of the Chen family, in the last three and a half centuries it has become more associated with elderly people and parks than warriors and combat. Nevertheless, the site where Wangting first introduced his art still stands and is a popular pilgrimage and study destination for students of the Chen family’s version of the art. And while there are theories suggesting longer histories or different founders for the system, the fact remains that of the 5 major styles of Tai Chi — Chen, Yang, Hao, Wu and Sun — all trace their origins to the art of Chen Wangting. The physical practice of Tai Chi is generally characterized by slow movements organized into forms of different lengths and points of emphasis. A focus on breathing and weight distribution along with coordinated folding and unfolding of the joints further typify the practice, while other aspects, such as high or low stances, the prevalence of fast and hard movements within the softness or the study of classical Chinese weapons, can vary from style to style or school to school.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Mind &amp;amp; Body: What Tai Chi Can Do for the Black Community - Tai Chi Is Good For Your Heart</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to a 2022 article by the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiovascular disease (CVD) takes the lives of 650,000 Americans every year. Within that number, Black Americans are more than twice as likely to die from CVD, which, caused by blood clots or the hardening of the arteries, can take the form of coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, aortic disease or stroke. High rates of hypertension among African Americans are a key CVD risk factor. The AHA cites Tai Chi as a “promising exercise option for patients with coronary heart disease,” showing that even 6 months of consistent practice at a low level of intensity can improve a patient’s weight, physical activity and quality of life. Tai Chi has been shown to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure and has been found by researchers to be an effective means of preventing CVD. And the benefits of a regular Tai Chi practice may not only be preventative. Among adults with chronic heart failure, consistent practice of the art, even at low intensity, has been shown to be beneficial by improving movement, breath capacity, and state of mind in patients. Similarly, while there is insufficient research to confirm that Tai Chi can be effective in preventing a stroke, it has been shown to be effective for facilitating recovery and improving outcomes following one. Weakness or paralysis are frequent aftereffects of a stroke, which can decrease activity and physical conditioning while increasing the risk of a fall. Focusing on gentle movements originating from the center of gravity and achieved through coordinated actions of the limbs, Tai Chi has been found to have, “an overall beneficial effect on ADL [Activ- ities of Daily Life], balance, limb motor function, and walking ability among stroke survivors...and may also improve sleep quality, mood, mental health, and other motor function,” according to a 2018 article appearing in Frontiers in Physiology. The AHA concurs, finding that even seated Tai Chi routines can promote better outcomes for stroke survivors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Mind &amp;amp; Body: What Tai Chi Can Do for the Black Community - Tai Chi and Diabetes</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2018, the CDC listed diabetes as the number 6 killer of Black men, and the number 4 killer of Black women. With 12.1% of our population among the 37.3 million Americans with diabetes — and more among the 96 million who are pre-diabetic — what some of our older loved ones refer to affectionately as, “the sugars,” is a problem that too many African Americans have. Born of the body’s decrease in production or reaction to insulin and the resulting buildup of sugar in the blood (hyperglycemia), diabetes can lead to heart disease, vision loss and kidney disease as well as immunocompromise, amputation and more. The best option for Type 2 diabetes is to avoid it through diet and exercise. When that isn’t possible, though diet and exercise are still important components of controlling diabetes, Tai Chi can also help. In a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of Tai Chi as both a potential preventative and a control measure for adults with elevated glucose levels, a 2010 article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine followed 11 participants over a 36-hour Tai Chi course. Classes were spread across a period of 12 weeks while researchers monitored seven indicators of metabolic syndrome — a suite of conditions such as high glucose or cholesterol and excess body fat around the midriff that can increase the likelihood of diabetes, heart disease or stroke. The study found that regular Tai Chi practice affected four indicators, reducing waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose levels and chronic stress.</image:caption>

The American Psychological Association (APA) notes that stress can have an effect on a variety of bodily systems including the “musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive.” Pointing out as well the connection between race, health disparities and stress, the organization pays specific attention to what it terms “perceived discrimination.” While the root of our community’s chronics stress is clearly not our perception of being discriminated against, but the actions of those who discriminate against us, Tai Chi can help us better manage that stress while keeping it from hurting us further. A 2019 review of 15 separate studies on Tai Chi found that practice “appears to be associated with improvements in psychological well-being including reduced stress, anxiety, depression and mood disturbance, and increased self-esteem.” And proving that the art’s benefits aren’t reserved solely for the elderly, a review of 10 separate databases published in 2021 suggested that Tai Chi was effective for creating similar benefits in adolescents as well as reducing cortisol levels.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tai Chi is not a cure-all for every health condition, and it won’t undo the impact of centuries of systematic racism on our community’s health, but it can be a beneficial part of our wellness practices. Like yoga, Tai Chi has been in our community for a long time. The art has been passed on through a number of high level practitioners, many of them among the O.G.’s of Black kung-fu teachers, including Roberto Sharpe, Oso Tayari Casel, the late and lamented Nganga Tolo Naa, and the venerable Dennis Brown to name just a few. While we continue to live through illnesses and fight injustices, Tai Chi can help us to live a little longer and fight a little better, giving us a single practice to fit into our busy lives that can strengthen our muscles, improve our lung function, lower blood pressure and the sugars, all while easing our minds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Plant Life: How Plants Can Aid in Your Wellness Routine - AphroChic: The houseplant industry is thriving right now, especially among millennials. Why do you think that is?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Evann E. Webb: Millennials aren’t settling down or making super heavy commitments at the same ages our parents were. And it’s not because we don’t want to. It’s because a lot of us can’t right now. The economy isn’t set up in a way that makes starting a family or buying a forever home ideal for us at the moment. So many of us have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans, are still looking for jobs that pay us reasonable salaries, and to put it more plainly — trying to figure things out for ourselves. Buying plants still allows us to make rental spaces feel like home, and gives us the opportunity to care of something other than ourselves — without having to break the bank! AC: What plants do you have at home and what does your plant care routine look like? EW: Right now, I have a ZZ Plant, a Bird of Paradise, and two Philodendron Heartleafs. Since I’ve been working from home for the past few months, I’ve been making it a habit to mist my Bird of Paradise and Philodendron Heartleafs every day, and on the weekends I check the plants’ soil to see if they need to be watered. Being cooped up in the house has definitely made me reevaluate my space, and I’ll be ordering some more plants and plant stands soon! I need all the green I can get right now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Plant Life: How Plants Can Aid in Your Wellness Routine - AC: The last few months have definitely been challenging with an ongoing pandemic. As we physically distance and spend more time inside, how can caring for plants be part of our self-care routine?</image:title>
      <image:caption>EW: Caring for plants is a meditative practice. It allows you to take a step away from the computer, phone and television and focus on the present. Turning on some relaxing music and taking an hour or two each week to water, trim, mist or re-pot really is soothing. AC: Part of the difficulty in caring for plants is the level of care that some plants require. How does Bloomscape help those who might be green thumb-challenged pick the right options for their lifestyle? EW: Some of the easiest plants to care for that we offer are the Bird of Paradise, our Tough Stuff Collection, the Monstera, the Silver Pothos and the Hedgehog Aloe. With each order, we give every customer detailed care instructions. Information can be found right on the care card, and we have a series of blog posts that feature different care tips and educational info from our resident Plant Mom that are always available to read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WELLNESS - Plant Life: How Plants Can Aid in Your Wellness Routine - AC: Just as different plants require their own levels of care, they can have different roles in the home. What are the best plants that we can have at home with us right now that will help us have a cleaner, healthier environment? Are there some you like best for decorating?</image:title>
      <image:caption>EW: I love how my four little plant babies have transformed my space. It’s so interesting how no matter what your style of decor is, there’s a plant that can help tie everything together. Some of the best plants to have at home are the Sansevieria (it helps to purify the air), the Money Tree, our Fur Friendly Collection (for all the pet parents out there), the Red Pear Plant, and the Bamboo Palm. AC: So many people we know (including us) who have tried keeping plants in their apartment have horror stories about how hard it is, and guilt over what happened to their little green friends. What are the steps to being good plant parents? EW: I’m still learning how to be a good plant parent myself. Lol! To me, the first step is practicing patience. Plants are living things, and some of them are quite sensitive. So understanding that, and realizing that you’re not going to see immediate growth overnight, is really important. Also, give yourself some grace. It’s a natural thing to feel sad when your plant journey isn’t going well (I have admittedly killed my fair share of plants), but I’m learning that a lot of this is trial and error. I know now that plants that require a ton of TLC aren’t my thing, so I try to stick to more low-maintenance ones. Learning what works best for you and your everyday schedule or routine will definitely be helpful in the long run.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CIVICS - Black America’s Voting Revolution - Still Under Threat</image:title>
      <image:caption>While the number of Black registered voters reached a historic plateau in America in 2020, the onslaught against the right to vote has risen to a fever pitch over the last few years. When We All Vote reports that state lawmakers across the nation have introduced more than 500 voter suppression bills since 2020. And that these bills and tactics seek to silence American voices at the ballot box, with an unstated yet clear focus on marginalizing Black voters. “It’s great news that more Black Americans were eligible to vote in the last presiden- tial election than ever before,” says Michelle Obama in a video message released on this year’s National Black Voter Day. “But, at the same time, eligibility doesn’t mean those ballots will actually be cast — especially when in some places, it’s getting harder and harder to vote.” In the video message, which was played on BET network, she is joined by When We All Vote’s Co-Chair and Phoenix Suns point guard, Chris Paul, who states, “We’re seeing the polling places closed down, early voting hours being cut, folks being purged from the voting rolls. Who would have thought that in 2022, our right to vote would still be under threat?” When We All Vote Party to the Polls Kit</image:caption>

      <image:title>CIVICS - Black America’s Voting Revolution - The Revolution Has Arrived — And It's at the Polls</image:title>
      <image:caption>“To celebrate our Week of Action ahead of this year’s midterm elections, When We All Vote focused on empowering voters and reaching our communities in creative and engaging ways,” says Stephanie L. Young, Executive Director of When We All Vote. “Every voice and every vote matters. And when we organize, mobilize, show up and vote, we can make real change in our country and demand a better future for all of us.” Merging voting with pop culture, When We All Vote, Fair Fight Action, and Black Voters Matter, are getting citizens, and particularly Black citizens, excited about voting in completely new ways. On TikTok you can follow @blackvotersmtr and get a rundown on issues that matter to Black voters — climate change, police reform, worker protections, and gun control. And you might get to taste the new Change is Brewing ice cream they’ve created in partnership with Ben &amp; Jerry’s if it rolls through your neighborhood in a Ben &amp; Jerry’s Scoop Truck. “Mobilizing and community-building with Black voters is mission critical for BVM,” said Cliff Albright and LaTosha Brown, co-founders of Black Voters Matter, in a joint statement. “There are so many pressing national and local issues at the forefront right now from healthcare to housing to basic needs like access to clean water, which we know disproportionately impacts Black communities.

      <image:title>CIVICS - Black America’s Voting Revolution - Get Involved!</image:title>
      <image:caption>“If you don’t think it’s important, why is there a movement to stop us from voting?” stated Sixers coach, Doc Rivers. Conservatives are working hard to shrink the electorate in America. And it’s clear that they are laser-focused on attacking the voting rights of Black communities. The Black vote is strong. It has made presidents and shored up our democratic institutions for decades. And without it, America is in danger of moving away from democracy and freedom and towards authoritarianism. But today’s voting rights organizations are a powerful reminder that together, we can make significant change. The work to preserve voting rights is something that each of us can get involved in. And here’s how you can make a difference in your community: 1. Host A Party At The Polls. When We All Vote can help you host a party in your community to get folks registered and help your family, friends, and neighbors come up with a voting plan. You can sign up to receive a party pack with buttons, stickers, tees and more at weall.vote/party. 2. Help staff your local polling place. There is a national poll worker shortage and folks are needed to help ensure that elections run smoothly. Poll workers get training and are paid for their service. Sign up to become a poll worker in your local community at powerthepolls.org 3. Get on the bus! Join the Black Voters Matter “We Won’t Black Down” campaign and bus tour. You can engage in on the ground mobi- lization efforts in Georgia, a major battleground state. Sign up to become a member of the team.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CIVICS - Public Policy Must Meet The Needs Of The People - It Is What It Is. Isn’t It?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Public policy is the part of government that most directly affects the day-to-day lives of the people. It’s not only an integral part of our democracy, it literally defines our way of life and guides many of the most important aspects of our society: your access to medical care, its cost and your right to specific procedures; the workings of public utilities and availability of public transportation in your community; the presence or absence of domestic violence and sexual assault prevention programs in your community; the minimum wage you can earn; who can vote — when, where and how; even the books your children read in school — all of these things are guided by public policy. As a result, a lot of the things we look at as, “just the way things are,” are actually the result of specific policies. Public policy is with us each and every day, determining what we can and can’t access, can and can’t do, and how we should or shouldn’t behave in our society. In a healthy political system, democratically elected officials are attentive to the needs of their people and create public policy to shape the actions of government in response to those needs. In an unhealthy system, the relationship between elected officials and the people is broken or distorted and public policy becomes something else. As recently as 2020, scholars such as Antonio Lassance and Sara Rinfreft have defined public policy technically as “an institutionalized proposal to solve relevant and real-world problems, guided by a conception and implemented by programs as a course of action created[...] typically by a government or nonprofit organization, in response to social issues.” However, much of what is currently being called public policy does not fit that definition. Instead of responding to social issues, many of the policies currently being introduced by governors, school board leaders and members of Congress are guided by political, corporate and cultural agendas fostered by special interest groups like the National Rifle Association, wealthy donors like the Koch Brothers and conservative think tanks like The Heritage Foundation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CIVICS - Public Policy Must Meet The Needs Of The People - Electing a Healthier Society</image:title>
      <image:caption>A healthy democracy has good public policy. Good public policies begin with elected officials understanding and responding to the needs of people. The community, therefore, is the most crucial element in shaping policy and determining the overall health of our democracy, beginning with the elections that decide who our officials are. So it is vital that we, the people, recognize the importance of public policy and accept the responsibility of our roles in creating it. We must elect responsive, community-focused lawmakers and continually hold them accountable for their actions and inactions, because a return to community-based public policy is a vital step in shaping America’s future for the good. Fortunately, it’s a trail that’s already being blazed. Community-based public policy approaches have already been successfully adopted in public health and policing in cities, states and other countries. The University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health has a specific program on community-based approaches. Their community development program “addresses the economic, social, and physical well-being of communities. The process requires skills in education, planning, policy, organizing, and political action.” This cross-disciplinary, people-centered approach is a way of looking at how to assist communities by responding to a variety of needs including social policy, health and education all at once. Such an approach is becoming ever more important as our society deals with a web of complex issues, like racism, climate change, global pandemics and our current gun violence epidemic. And such approaches can go from outliers to the norm with deeper citizen engagement.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Afrominimalist Christine Platt’s calm, careful narration of her journey toward living with less is both relatable and reassuring.” — Norah Piehl, BookPage “This book is an extraordinary, life-changing invitation to live life on your terms. Christine Platt shows us that minimalism isn't a one-size fits all, colorless lifestyle but instead a way for us to live with intention, letting go of what doesn't matter and surrounding ourselves with what does. With warmth, wisdom, humor, and radical honesty, she takes us on a journey back to the essence of minimalism.” — Courtney Carver, author of Soulful Simplicity and Project 333 “Though titled a guide, what Platt has created is less of a script or scripture, and more of a Rorschach test for each reader—especially those of us who are Black—to see ourselves in it however we need to, in hopes to make living with less, living as more.” — Jason Reynolds “Christine’s book is the one I wish I’d had at my side when I began my own journey to living with less. She is a warm, engaging guide, who frames minimalism in a new light—one that examines the why behind our consumption and is more about authenticity than aesthetics. Finally, there is a book about minimalism for people who don’t relate to an austere style!” — Laura Fenton, author of The Little Book of Living Small “Christine has made accessible the very notion of living in a sustainable way from a cultural, historical and fashionable lens. Her approach to environmentalism is refreshing and necessary and is an important body of work at the intersection of racial and environmental justice." — Céline Semaan, Founder of Slow Factory Foundation “Less is a mindset of expansion, and in The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living with Less Christine Platt gives us a new roadmap to curate the life you’ve always wanted." — Kate Northrup, author of Do Less and Money: A Love Story "Christine Platt is a natural storyteller. She invites us to reimagine what we think we know about minimalism, our relationship to our belongings, and what we make space for in our lives. These four steps will change your life and gently usher you into your own physical and mental space of sweet simplicity." — Rachel Cargle, author of I Don’t Want Your Love &amp; Light "By detailing her own maximalist-to-minimalist transformation, Platt puts readers at ease — there’s no stuff-shaming — with humor and a heavy dose of 'been-there, bought-that, never-worn-it' empathy." — The Washington Post Additional Details Published by ‎S&amp;S/Simon Element (May 3, 2022) 224 pages Ships to the US in 7-10 business days ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"The perfect book for this moment in time. Using his years of studying the effects of the HIV epidemic, Thrasher shows how viral epidemics expose the flaws in the modern American social system in the forms of racism, homophobia, classism, and ableism. Combining years of research with the personal stories of people living with these diseases or fighting for justice for those who are, this book speaks perfectly to the intersection of virology and activism." ―Vulture, "9 Great Books About Navigating Viruses Throughout History" "The pandemic brought America’s health inequities into stark relief, but The Viral Underclass illustrates that the problem isn’t new, and that it is embedded more deeply than many of us realize… Thrasher, a gay Black man, brings figures from the viral underclass to life in this engaging, enraging read." ―The Boston Globe "At once precise and sweeping, rigorous and inviting, The Viral Underclass fearlessly crosses the policed borders of academic disciplines and literary forms, creating an irresistibly readable and humane exploration of the barbarities of class. Through the sheer force of his story telling, Thrasher challenges us to abandon our fatal illusions of separateness in favor of an embrace of our place in a collective entanglement of bodies. Readers are gifted that most precious of things in these muddled times: a clear lens through which to see the world." ―Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine Additional Details Celadon Books (August 2, 2022) 352 pages Ships to the US in 7-10 business days ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Reviews "Black Power Music! is a boldly conceived, brilliantly executed, and surpassingly timely volume that eloquently explains how Black Power Music was able to reconstitute African American culture in the decade 1965–1975. Professor Rabaka’s originality in using ideas from disciplines traditionally kept apart enables him to find the consilience that binds these disciplines together vis-à-vis black power music, to succeed where others have not. The volume’s ambitious thesis is as compelling as it is clear, and the discussion of the cultural and intellectual politics of sex and gender in Chapters 4 and 5 ought to be required reading in many disciplines." - John Michael Cooper, Southwestern University, USA "Black Power Music! is a cogent study of the connections between the Black Power Movement and Black popular music of the 1960s and 1970s. Taking a cue from Black Power and Black Arts participants themselves, it successfully argues that much of that music was an integral part of Black Power. While that argument has been made previously, never before have the material links between Black Power and Black popular music been studied in such detail." - James Smethurst, W.E.B.

      <image:caption>Reviews “An almost unimaginable breadth of research, information and ambition. . . . Drawing on extensive recent work by historians on the demographics of the slave trade, Fischer traces the multiple African sources of the waves of importations from the 17th to the early 19th century, offering a rich portrait of the variety of cultures and places from which captives came. . . . He has been hailed as an accomplished historical storyteller who can capture a general reader, and those skills are evident here.” -- Drew Gilpin Faust ― The New York Times "In a work of phenomenal scope and decades of research across three continents, Fischer delivers a masterpiece of cultural and demographic history. He gives deep grounding to the cliché of diversity in our past, and through a wealth of anecdotes and stories, shows that Africans and African Americans were the agents of the pluralism and syncretism that drove the development of early America. Every student of African American history will learn anew from this book, scholars and general readers alike. Rarely have American regions, the question of race, and the whole story of a society been captured so powerfully. It is a book to be mined for knowledge and savored with joy." -- David W. Blight, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom and Sterling Professor of History, Yale University "Emphasizing regional variations and the agency of individuals, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Fischer shows how Africans responded to racial slavery in ways that ultimately redefined and expanded American notions of freedom. . . . Informed by a mountain of quantitative and narrative sources and leavened by Fischer’s travels on both sides of the Atlantic, this is a comprehensive demographic history with a powerful and important corrective thesis." ― Booklist Additional Details Simon &amp; Schuster (May 31, 2022) Hardback 960 pages Ships to the US in 7-10 business days ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Before 13th: A Graphic Novel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reviews "In Before 13th, Michael Ralph delivers a groundbreaking reexamination of the origins of convict leasing. Ralph’s painstaking research uncovers the roots of this exploitative system in Kentucky’s antebellum penitentiaries, reshaping our understanding of how racialized labor practices evolved long before the 13th Amendment’s infamous exception clause...This necessary book is more than just a history lesson: it’s a visceral, urgent call to confront the ongoing legacies of racial injustice."  — Elizabeth Hinton, author of From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America  “Michael Ralph’s graphic novel Before 13th is a testament to the power of public history to move us and revise our understanding of the past... I found the book both engaging on the narrative level and groundbreaking in terms of its scholarly intervention. The history Ralph recounts is an important reminder that penal ‘reform’ is the process by which the carceral state expands.” — Jackie Wang, author of Carceral Capitalism “This book challenges the common assumption that convict leasing emerged only after emancipation, revealing its antebellum origins in an agricultural prison labor system at the state penitentiary in Kentucky. Told through the perspectives of Frederick Douglass and Ida B. Wells, Before 13th conveys its original and essential research as a graphic narrative that imbues history with imagination.” — Bryan Wagner, author of Disturbing the Peace: Black Culture and the Police Power after Slavery  Additional Details Amistad (September 24, 2024) Hardback 208 pages Featuring 100 four color illustrations Ships free, to the US in 7-10 business days ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Reviews "Jerrelle’s definition of “fancy” is fantastic! It does not require fancy ingredients, tools, parties, or any of the other conventionalities like that, rather it’s a state of mind that you can access with what you have to make the everyday task of cooking dinner more magical. This book is as much a self improvement book as it is a cookbook and it will leave you feeling deeply inspired in a way that’s not just good for your belly, but also good for your soul." —Molly Yeh, New York Times bestselling author and Food Network host “An original and imaginative book” —Nigella Lawson “We Fancy is a book for this moment… Jerrelle reminds us that the foundation of a nourishing and happy life begins with how we feed ourselves. We Fancy offers a blueprint for reimagining your life and appreciating what you already have—starting in the kitchen. One of the many things I love about this cookbook is Jerrelle’s emphasis on imagination and play while cooking. I’m excited to use these vibrant recipes to add more sparkle into my life!”—Klancy Miller, Author of For the Culture: Phenomenal Black Women and Femmes in Food  Additional Details S&amp;S / Simon Element (February 10, 2026) 304 pages Hardback Dimensions: 254.0 X 203.2 X 25.4 mm | 1118.1 g Ships free within the continental US in 3-4 weeks.

Each piece will have unique variations in tone, color, texture and pattern. Finish: Matte or Polished Artisan-made Imported Made to order Contact us for customization options Shipping: This item ships free within the continental US in 12-20 weeks. Additional shipping fees may apply to countries outside of the US. Please enquire. Please note that this item will be delivered via truck service. The service will contact the customer in advance to schedule delivery. The truck service is responsible for transporting the package to the address provided. For subsequent processes, e.g., unloading, moving the piece indoors, and assembly, this will need to be completed by the customer. If necessary, assembly instructions will be included. Care: Immediately clean up spills, water stains, or other stains to prevent them from penetrating the marble surface and causing discoloration. Avoid placing food or drinks containing acidic or alkaline ingredients directly on the marble surface to prevent etching or damage. Avoid using sharp tools or knives on the marble surface to prevent scratching. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the marble surface to prevent damage. Avoid placing hot items directly on the marble surface as high temperatures can cause the stone to crack. Use coasters or trivets to protect the surface from heat damage. Use a sealer designed for natural stone regularly to prevent stains and etching. For stubborn stains, use a specialized marble cleaner, but make sure it is a neutral pH and follow the instructions carefully. Natural marble is prone to staining, so avoid using colored liquids or dyes on the surface. If the natural marble surface has been damaged, seek professional stone repair and restoration services. ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>

Additional shipping fees may apply to countries outside of the US. Please enquire. Please note that this item will be delivered via truck service. The service will contact the customer in advance to schedule delivery. The truck service is responsible for transporting the package to the address provided. For subsequent processes, e.g., unloading, moving the piece indoors, and assembly, this will need to be completed by the customer. If necessary, assembly instructions will be included. Care: Immediately clean up spills, water stains, or other stains to prevent them from penetrating the marble surface and causing discoloration. Avoid placing food or drinks containing acidic or alkaline ingredients directly on the marble surface to prevent etching or damage. Avoid using sharp tools or knives on the marble surface to prevent scratching. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the marble surface to prevent damage. Avoid placing hot items directly on the marble surface as high temperatures can cause the stone to crack. Use coasters or trivets to protect the surface from heat damage. Use a sealer designed for natural stone regularly to prevent stains and etching. For stubborn stains, use a specialized marble cleaner, but make sure it is a neutral pH and follow the instructions carefully. Natural marble is prone to staining, so avoid using colored liquids or dyes on the surface. If the natural marble surface has been damaged, seek professional stone repair and restoration services. ⓘ Shipping and returns policy</image:caption>
