“I can’t, I’m in Tech” – • • • I’ve literally been saying that since elementary school 😂. But in all honesty, I love this photo so much because of what it represents. Both Kiko and I listening to the notes we were given by our brilliant leader and director @drew_mconie. This story is beyond spectacle and technology, but truly examines the way in which complete opposites can communicate with compassion and understanding. When words aren’t enough (or in this case, can’t be communicated) look for love and humanity, everyone has that. #HappyBirthdayKiko #KingKong #March2 #1933

My first bit of exposure to Black Art. “Sugar Shack” by the incomparable Ernie Barns. •This image hung proudly in my grandmothers dining room and in the homes of black people everywhere back in the day. When no one was looking I’d pick a pose from the painting and emulate it. One time my Grammy caught me mid back arch and we couldn’t stop laughing. ♥️♥️ •Slide for a picture of my Grammy, she is the epitome of Black Art •What was your first experience with black art?

I remember seeing Broadway shows as a little girl and squinting my eyes as hard as I could begging God to allow me to do what they did. Little Christiani is jumping up and down Times Square right now and nothing can stop her! Won’t he do it!?!?

Happy Juneteenth family. Use this day to remember who built this country. We still have so far to go in this but take a minute to honor the slaves that fought to free themselves after building a country that showed them nothing but hate. We are still viewed as a threat to so many in this place we call home but as history has proven we are a resilient people who can and will overcome the darkest of tragedies.. . . . . .
