Rest in power to Malik El Hajj El-Shabazz aka Malcolm X, assassinated on this day 60 years ago. This painting depicts his evolution from a hustler to a minister, activist, father & husband. He was cut down as he was entering a new phase of activism. Let’s draw inspiration & evolve to meet the times.

Kendrick's halftime performance was incredible. It was a master class in theme and layered storytelling and it was unapologetically Black. There's a lesson there for creative people to be fearless as we grow and never be afraid to be yourself. Someone is always going to have an opinion. Just do YOU.
