Just saw a list of banned DEI words in US and I’m genuinely heartbroken. It’s actual chaos, evil and above all an own goal. 💔

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

There’s a quality to my underpainting that makes me want to go no further. There really is something in these weird, uncomfortable colours… #BlackBritishartist #BlackArtist #Caribbeanartist #Jamaicanartist #Womenartist

I saw Starlight Express multiple times as a kid. It meant a lot to take mine tonight, LOVE the revamp and filled with nostalgia 🛼🥹

I’m here to cultivate a world without Meta. Bear with me, I’m still on the gram 🫣 looking for other visual artists to connect with.
