A friend posted this on another platform and it captured my little heart. She touched on something often overlooked this time of year: we’re loud about the victories but quiet about the cost. This is the reminder I needed—to hold both with grace.

Love that this is front and center at Scope - Art Basel. Black Odyssey - “This work confronts the paradox of visibility in American culture – where Black identity is simultaneously hypervisible and unseen in its true complexity.” #artmiami #artbasel

Fanned out once again w/ Joy Boulamwini @poetofcode.bsky.social. I love how she shows up. In < 45 mins she covered poetry, fashion, Algorithmic justice, her research and more. She’s a living testament to her work. We can show up on our terms. We don’t have to hand it all over to the machines. #ai
