I remember walking into an art gallery and seeing this sign posted on the wall. At that point I was convinced I needed everything. Love for myself. Hope for better days. Faith in this journey. Patience for my struggles. Courage to move forward. Understanding in what should be understood. Peace of mind. Renewed passion. Healing from my pain. Strength because I was weak. Beauty because everything felt ugly. Freedom because I was a prisoner in my own mind. What an idea that I could not only just walk up and take it but, I could hold on to it. Make it mine, and never let go. I invite you to take what you need. You deserve it. #shadesofmelanin #motivation #throwbackthursday #tbt #inspiration #blackpoets #blackwomen #blackmen #human #blackgirljoy

Reminders are needed. Life is not a race it's a journey. Your journey. #inspiration #thingstoliveby #goodmorningpost #journey #induetime

Check out our new featured artist in the gallery. Hailing from Manchester, UK. Her work is simply amazing. Read more about this artist and what drives her work. Link in the bio. "People identify with things and people that they can relate to. It is not a choice for me to paint women that look like me , it is a necessity. I would be doing an injustice to myself and to my people if my legacy was not representative of my life and my reality." - Gherdai Hassell #art #blackart #womanofcolor #melanin #melaninart

Link to article in the bio. "I think it’s also worth knowing that you and your response don’t have to be perfect. Just stay cognizant. I’m 24 years old, and I’ve had friends that have loss people this year, so trust, I’m still learning how to be a good friend outside of their joy and within the confines of their pain." - 2016: The Year of Loss #shadesofmelanin #womenofcolor #support #embrace #2016 #growing

2016 has certainly taken a toll on many. Check out this new article inspired by Mr. Kain Carter. Link in the bio. “I feel like I’m falling off of a cliff right. I feel like I fell of a cliff and the further I fall the darker shit gets. The more quiet shit gets. But it’s like the darkness and the silence isn’t what’s bothering me. It’s not hitting the bottom. Not hitting a bottom is what’s fucking with me. Because at least if I hit a bottom then I can stand up and go ‘okay well that’s how far I have to climb to get back up to the top of the cliff.’ But when you just fall and you just fall and you just fall it’s like when does it end?” - @hotdamnirockshit
