Kenojuak Ashevak created works of art through sculpture, painting, engravings and stained glass. A leading figure of modern Inuit art, she became cultural icon and her work has been used on stamps, coins and even our currency.
This is the story of an amazing artist.

And we are also reminded on this anniversary that it’s important for famous comedians to accept millions from the Prince to perform for him and flatter him about his free speech principles.

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.

Anyone who still has the Facebook app installed on any device, even if you don’t or barely use it (like me), check your settings!! A “new feature” has quietly been activated and it allows Meta to SEE AND SCAN your ENTIRE camera roll!!
