I like the way you look at my brown black blue body, I don’t like how the brown black blue body has been historically looked at is an exploration of my own brown, black, blue body, the strong line of black, brown, white and mixed women that have come before me, the current state of nationwide grieving, honoring the magic we all hold and figuring out how we can move forward together.
