Hope everyone had a joyful Juneteenth 💕

I once roomed with an artist who owned a 4 bedroom, two story house and the 3 bedroom two story house next to it. In a rich neighborhood. Bought from her living making handcrafted quilted art.

It’s possible, love :)

{2024 Release} Before the Ships: The Birth of Black Excellence by: Maisha Oso, Candice Bradley Before the Ships is a powerful and poetic celebration of the early roots of Black history. The great achievements and accomplishments across Africa prior to the Transatlantic slave trade are told through melodious text and evocative illustrations, that culminate into the strength and resilience of modern-day Black people. For so many of us, the first introduction to Black history begins with lessons about slavery.

Writers write stories with words.
Illustrators write stories with pictures.

No one has the monopoly on creativity.

By the time we’ve studied it enough to package into a curriculum, community, or profession to sell, someone has already innovated something new.

“Story Artist” is really a more accurate title for someone who illustrates picture books.

Oh hi BlueSky

Never gets old ❤️

Great News! Before the Ships has just been named an Amazon Best Book of 2024!! 💜

Your art had to pass through the soul, imagination, and experiences that make up who you are, before it came into this world. I wish you knew how significant that is. What it means for someone to behold what you created.

Not quite sure how this works yet, but yay!
