This piece stayed unfinished until it didn’t. Short. Thick. Confident. Bold. Sexy. Sexy is for self. For ease. For showing up as we are. Old-school watercolor. A body at home, taking up space unapologetically. #BlackArt #BlackArtists #BlackCreative #QueerArt #ArtAsResistance #VisualPoetry

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis. That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

New IG reel on my art page! A sketch of a beautiful stranger and the sadness I thought I saw behind their smile. Beauty and vulnerability live together. Watch it here: www.instagram.com/reel/DUDonTB... #BlackArt #BlackArtists #BlackCreative #QueerArt #ArtAsResistance #VisualPoetry

A sketch born from remembering a beautiful stranger and the sadness I thought I saw behind their smile. Beauty and vulnerability aren’t opposites—they live together. #BlackArt #BlackArtists #BlackCreative #QueerArt #ArtAsResistance #VisualPoetry

“Jesus Saves” is a gauche painting that I did a few years ago. I have a limited number of magnets! If you are interested hmu. Jesus is a little sassy with eye shadow and the robe is designed to look kinda like a superhero cape.

Steve Simon: "What does the voter rolls have to do with what's happening on the ground right now with the ICE surge in Minnesota?"

At Creating Change in DC, I took a quiet moment to make a quick sketch of James Baldwin for the ofrenda. Not my best work, but offered with deep gratitude—an act of remembrance, resistance, and hope. #creatingchange2026 #wearecreatingchange

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

We ALREADY have ICE concentration camps. We are ALREADY so far gone. Fuck the people who support this evil.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

Two drawings side by side—one from 5 years ago, one from last year. I learned by doing that growth is possible. 30 minutes a day adds up. If you’re discouraged, keep going. #blackartist #lgbtqartist #queerartist #BlackAndQueer #artsky #MenInSkirts #addBlackSky #addBlackgaysky #blackart #queerart

Reviewing some of my favorite #art from last year, and this one still feels right. Inspired by the Red Dress Run—bold fashion, big bodies, joyful defiance. Black History Month commissions open ✨ Bulletin covers, coloring pages, sketches, watercolors. #addblackgaysky #lgbt #blackgayart #blackart

Happy New Year! Thankful to see another year in this body & in this world. I’m choosing hard work, self-love, & doing my part to create positive change on this planet. Let’s go. ✨ #blackgaysky #BlackQueer #BlackGay #BlackLGBTQ #BlackJoy #BlackExcellence #BlackCreatives #BlackArtists #QueerCreatives

Fyi, Jenifer Lewis was only 39 when she played Whitney Houston’s mother in The Preacher’s Wife 29 years ago. Whitney was 33.

I do not like early mornings. I do not like cold early mornings. I do not like getting out the bed on cold early mornings.

Merry Christmas, friends. 🎄 May your days be cozy, your joy be loud, and your love be real. Grateful for rest, laughter, and a little whimsy this season. Here’s to warmth, wonder, and showing up as our full selves. ❤️✨ #blackgaysky #addblacksky #merrychristmas #blackqueersky #lgbt

What do you know about this Christmas Classic!?!? Where can I stream it!?!?! “You can't be serious Must be some mistake Am I delirious Or do I feel a heartquake…”

I miss having an actual president.

I watched this live and my jaw was on the floor. He sat there talking trash, and they actually applauded him. He looked so pleased with himself afterward.

MJ wanted other artists to step up their music video game.....so he took the lead.... His nice way of saying y'all videos are trash 🤣🤣🤣

definitely gonna try drawing more next year

For anyone pushed out, ignored, or unwelcome this week — hear this: God holds you close. You are fully, fiercely BELOVED. No family, no church, no politician can take that away. The Open and Affirming Coalition is with you. You matter. 🌈❤️

Just got booked for two performances this holiday season!!! They saw this old ass video and had the money ready 😭

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for every church and every person committed to courageous affirmation. 💛🏳️‍🌈 From 11/24–11/28, new monthly gifts to our Sustainers Circle are matched up to $250! Join us: openandaffirming.networkforgood.com/projects/264...

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

I’ve got about ten museum-quality 16x20 matte prints of both This Is America (Thank You 47) and She Begat That. Vibrant, detailed, signed if you want. Ready to ship. If one needs to come home with you, DM me. Please share. 💛 #BlackArt #Afrofuturism

Michelle is a mood

It’s always been hard to make it as an artist in America – and it’s becoming only harder

🎨 Joy is resistance I’ve spent years calling out what’s broken, but I’m shifting. Resistance can be joy, breath, creation, existence. This Black man — maybe queer, maybe not — is seen, worthy, free. Our joy is sacred. Art. Joy. Resistance. Repeat. #BlackJoy #JoyIsResistance #blackgayart #blackgaysky

Would you hang this on your wall? 🎨🍽️ This meal feels like home. Can you name everything on the plate—or tell me what you would add/take away👀 What’s your go too comfort meal? #BlackArtSky #ArtSky #SoulFood #BlackJoy #FoodArt #DATArt #blackgaysky #lgbtartist #lgbt #queerart

Good luck finding a job now. She should’ve sat there and ate her food. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

DHS altered a Black boy's video then used it to threaten Americans. Since we won't come outside they are creating ways to make it seem like we are. Part 1 (Part 2👇🏿) 🎥: TT @joyreid

Happy #NationalComingOutDay fyi… #addblackgay #blackqueer #lgbt

did i eat this entire plate of ethiopian? yes, i did.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."
