I stopped by one of my favorite bookstores Pilsen Community Books for some new reads and ran across my book #Afrofuturism. Signed copies now available. May I say, this bookstore has some delicious options. Support your local bookstore! Cover art by @johnjenningsart #Afrofuturism #PilsenChicago #Bookstores #Chicago

With a winter storm bristling, I return to this idea of the fortitude that springs forth in cool temperatures. Snow born goddesses can have African roots, too...they can abide in freezing cities that don’t shut down, stoking the icy glamor of the season’s beauty and requisite drive. Wherever you go, the goddess goes with you...shielding you from the cold and standing with you as you persist. Inspired by Lena Horne's Glenda in #TheWiz #Afrofuturism #WinterSolstice #WinterWinderland

Happy Winter Solstice! Find joy in this season of reflection and refresh. I’m a winter baby and while I love the season I wrestle to find joy in cold temperatures. But there’s a spirit of fortitude that springs from cold weather. I find delight in the drive and celebration. This is my AI generated goddess of the season. Cheers to us all. #WinterSolstice #Afrofuturism #AI #Wintergoddess

My sis and I talked about my work with dance and Afrofuturism and hers in mindfulness on this WBEZ episode.https://www.wbez.org/stories/beyond-talk-therapy-in-black-mental-health/e3382278-194e-4397-988f-c065f772c720?utm_medium=url_copy&audio-first=true

I've been experimenting with AI/Midjourney and came up with this cool image inspired by Grace Jones and Star Wars. #Afrofuturism #AIart #StarWars #GraceJones

I'm rediscovering the joy of bookmarks. Bought this one at Pocket Con.

Thanks to all who came to Pocket Con at the Chicago CulturalCenter...the con that celebrates characters of color in comics. Exciting to see families and pals enjoying local comic culture.

Pocket Con, a family friendly con celebrating characters and creators of color kicks off Sat. Dec 3.
