TIMBER is a beautiful publication! So glad to have some work in their summer issue!
We're so happy with this Summer Issue of @TimberJournal. I especially love this one by @Amy__Writes: "I recognize/ her face, balance her many names on my tongue: Mami/ Wata, Yemaja, River Mama, Oshun, L’Siren." colorado.edu/timberjournal/2…

Feeling celebratory and hopeful with Kendrick’s Pulitzer win, with Patricia Smith and Evie Shockley’s Pulitzer nominations. Between that and Beyonce at Coachella, I’m even enjoying this late in April snow. #weaintgoingnowhere #blackart
