A lil photo dump, swipe to see what’s been keeping me going 💘 I’ve been having conversations with clients and loved ones on revolutionary optimism, what it means to envision an “end” as a beginning and how liberatory the creation of something new can be. While I navigate these conversations I remember that art, food, imagery, history, political education, land connection and textiles are only few of the many inspirations for the world I want to live in. Pictured are some of those things. ID 1: Ashley, a non-binary light skin Black Dominican American with brown curly hair pulled back in a bun. They are wearing a sleeveless button down, tied up to their stomach. They are wearing a white mask. They are standing infront of an IFC Theater with the word/film “Beba” about their head. ID 2: a Screenshot of an article cover with Ashley smiling on it. The Article is titled “Meet the Collage Therapist Redefining Art As Healing” in black letters with a white background. The Keyssoulcare logo is underneath the title. ID 3: A photo of Ashley in a long, fitted, black maxi dress, ray bans, their hair in a bun and white crocs. They are standing in the center of a light wooden archway with pink flowers and green plants. ID 4: A light brown hand holding 3 limes in a green lime tree with a clear blue sky in the background. ID 5: Ashley in a pink, purple and white baby doll dress, bun and white crocs. They have their hands on their checks and one leg up while smiling at the camera. Behind them is a garage door with a mural of pink flowers painted onto it. ID 6: A closeup of the Ashley’s dress (pink, purple and white baby doll dress). Onto of their dress is a multicolored beaded purse. The top of the bag is all white beads.
