The goddess Oshún and a little Afro-Latina girl named Yadira face each other in a sunflower patch with a beautiful sunset in the background.  Oshún wears a gold gele, gold dress, with gold jewelry, and Yadira wears cornrows and pigtails with wooden beads at the bottom.

There’s a plate of alcapurria (🇵🇷!) on the table that was a little difficult to draw because I kept getting hungry. Also, this illustration is from the Spanish version, translated by Issa Mas. 💛 One more sleep til pub day! 📚 #kidlit

Oshún and Me comes out TOMORROW! I’m so excited! Here’s a little sneak peek of the interior illustrations, and it’s also one of the illustrations that Adiba showed on her IG reel yesterday. In this scene, Mami carefully parts Yadira’s hair as Yadira holds a jar of blue hair grease. #kidlitart

My weed man really thinks my name is Taye and that’s so funny to me. I don’t even remember if I told him that was my name or he just got me confused with somebody else a long ass time ago and I just went with it but I kinda like it this way 😭😂

Especially because the thing about “seeing” is that USUALLY what is foreseen is based on the current circumstance & variables. More than often, changing a few actions, decisions, or conditions can & does alter the outcome. Visions, prophecies & predictions aren’t always fixed. Some say they nvr are.

There is nothing Pro-Black about defending predators who are Black. Defend their Black victims instead.

I cried in yoga today. I released so much and it was so deeply restorative. Our instructor being an elder black woman, sharing such deep and rich wisdom with us throughout our practice was medicine to my spirit, body and mind. I feel so held and supported.
