if I recall correctly, this film was made in part to counter tim burtons racist statement of black people not fitting his "aesthetic" which is such a baller move honestly. this movie looks beautiful and kat herself oozes charm
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tim Burton did not say Black people don't fit his aesthetic. In 2016 he said diversity should fit the story, citing Brady Bunch tokenism. Wendell & Wild development started 2015; Peele wanted a Black lead for kids like him to see themselves.

Who remembers this cardis funniest court case where the lady tried to sue her for $24M 😭😂😂 this was pure comedy 😂❤️. She had the judges laughing.
As someone who is actively looking for this type of furniture/furnishing, its actually really hard to find authentic decor
We rarely put African sculptures, masks, carvings, or paintings in our own homes. Then we get angry when we see them in the British Museum.
At the same time, many of us still fill our spaces with things brought in through colonization. That does not line up.
If we actually used our own art in our interiors, the demand would be here. Artists and makers would earn from it.
The conversation about where the pieces belong would make more sense, because we would already be treating them as part of how we live, not only as something we defend after someone else takes them.

If we valued our art, we would embed it in our homes the way it used to be done - carved on doors, marked on walls, placed in compounds.
It would have been passed down. Every generation would have seen it and known that African architecture was never minimalist. There would be no argument, because the evidence would still be standing in the houses we live in.
We stopped putting it in. Then we started forgetting what it looked like.

Barbados 🇧🇧 is at the center of Trump’s Venezuelan oil deal. ProPublica reports that Washington’s 35% stake is held through a Barbados registered parent company, where 🇧🇧 corporate law allows private investors to remain anonymous to the public propublica.org/article/trump…
