For #BlackHistoryMonth I’ll be sharing some of my favorite photographers. First up is Gordon Parks. His incredible documentary work touched on racial relations, social movements, jazz, civil rights and life in Europe. #photography www.gordonparksfoundation.org/gordon-parks...

I'm closing my Instagram account this week. I'll miss Artist friends & ability to view the work of Artists worldwide. Worse would be to continue to support the platform that has helped elect a terrorist government. So please boost as I'm looking for working/showing artists worldwide. Thanks

Yes, I’m fired up today. Been sick this past week. Took some time for myself to heal and am back in the fight. Hope that you all are taking the time to care for yourselves as well. ♥️

56 bills introduced in the Missouri General Assembly this year would legislate some aspect of transgender life. More than any state except Texas. Again the GOP-led #MOLeg is ignoring Missouri’s true problems and pushing lies and fear. Shameful and deadly. thebeaconnews.org/stories/2025...
