𝗧𝗼𝗺 was devoted to rap 🎤! He started when he was 14-15 years old, looking for his place in the music industry, even getting a deal with a record label 😮 The songs were written by him, he worked with 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒚-winning producers, he recorded many things but they were never presented. And he put music aside when he started his career as an actor, because, according to himself in an interview 13 years ago: “because I come from a nice middle-class neighborhood it was a very hard sell, and I wasn't very good!” Hence his answer when asked this in an interview in 2021 🤭
However, currently, and as many already know, 𝗧𝗼𝗺 is rapping under a secret name 😏, and a few days ago it was announced that, he will release an album? Or at least new songs! 👏🏻💓

¿Sabías que...?
¡𝗧𝗼𝗺 se dedicó al rap 🎤! Comenzó a los 14-15 años, buscando su lugar en la industria musical, obteniendo incluso un trato con una discográfica 😮 Las canciones eran escritas por él, trabajó con productores ganadores de 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒚𝒔, grabó muchas cosas pero nunca fueron presentadas. Y dejó la música a un lado cuando empezó su carrera como actor, por, según él mismo en una entrevista hace 13 años: “como vengo de un buen vecindario de clase media, era difícil de vender, ¡y no era muy bueno!” De ahí su respuesta cuando le preguntaron esto en una entrevista en 2021 🤭
Sin embargo, actualmente, y como muchos ya saben, 𝗧𝗼𝗺 está rapeando bajo un nombre secreto 😏, y hace unos días se anunció que, ¿lanzará un álbum? ¡O al menos nuevas canciones! 👏🏻💓
Have you heard of “adultification bias?” The term refers to the reality that, in the United States, Black youth are often treated as adults, enduring heightened surveillance, punishment, and violence. For Black girls, living at the intersection of race and gender oppression makes them particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse.
In “Consecration to Mary,” shown here, Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter (@isisthasaviour) intervenes in an egregious act of adultification, inserting herself as a protective presence into a historical artifact. Shielding a young Black girl from predatory gazes, Baxter indicts both the photographer Thomas Eakins and the legacies of photography, which have been historically weaponized in the oppression of Black people. Presenting a selection of opened and closed daguerreotype cases, Baxter leaves visible three photographs. In two, the artist shifts the critical narrative to the lived experience of the subject in Eakins’ 1882 images. The third photograph—a school-age portrait of the artist herself—links Baxter’s own experiences with these histories of societal abuse. As part of the exhibition Ain’t I a Woman, this photo series complicates our understanding of the prison system by showing that the root causes of incarceration are inextricably tied to the systematic oppression in our public and personal histories.
Experience this multipart photographic work as well as Baxter’s rap documentary Ain’t I a Woman, up through August 13.
