.......their eyes were watching god

"She had found a jewel down inside herself and she had wanted to walk where people could see her and gleam it around. But she had been set in the market-place to sell. Been set for still bait. When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Then after that some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song. So they covered each one over with mud. And the lonesomeness in the sparks made them hunt for one another, but the mud is deaf and dumb. Like all the other tumbling mud-balls, Janie had tried to show her shine." - Zora Neale Hurston

ITS ALL A BLUR up COUNTRY.

An ode to my trip up country to work with women who are affected by fistula for our NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FISTULA ON THE 26TH OF MARCH.  i decided i needed to take the weave off and do a 'country plant', meaning corn-roll my hair like the country girl that i am. I am happy that i've been given the opportunity to merge development and art together with this project, My job is to create a visual narrative of what it means to be a survivor of fistula, the communities most affected by it, the pertinent issue, and the incurable women...in essence science and statistics aside, the hope is to adequately amplify the voices of these women through this multimedia form of community.....

ZEBRA CROSSING? WHAT IS IT FOR ANYWAY?

"A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, from which it derives its name. A zebra crossing typically gives extra rights of way to pedestrians." = YEAH, NO. NOT IN SIERRA-LEONE.

SATURDAY MORNING VINTAGE

vintage finds, breakfast at OASIS, in Morritown. Magazines I miss. An espresso that made my morning + freshly picked flowers that make me think of this quote

"pay attention to detail, you will find God in them"
