Roberta Flack 🙏🏾🎼🎵

Stunned to learn she had passed on today. Oddly enough, said more about how I feel in the alt descriptions 🥹
Gorgeous, black and white photo super up close zoom in on Roberta Flack’s beautiful eyes, a palm raised up across her forehead. She’s staring straight at us,serene.

Loving Bisa Butler's quilts, so vibrant and the skill! Goodness. This is "The Warmth of Other Suns" (inspired by the book of the same title).

Kiini Ibura shared this, and I just hollered, because if this isn't an excellent illustration of the process ;-). The revisions, rewrites, and edits make a world of difference. Tough work, but there's beauty in the pain. We learn and we grow!
A vintage colorful 1950s illustration of a stereotypical Dad walking up the sidewalk to his home, with a look of relief on his face. Meanwhile, the front door is cracked open, and hidden behind it are his two children and his wife, each holding butcher knives. The father wears a label that says "Finishing My First Draft", and the other family behind the door have labels that read, "Revisions," "Rewrites," and "Edits".
