"...Not like me, who had never been anything, and so had been trying all my life to be someone else. To come inside. I saw that they understood this, too. That they understood it and that it was okay. That, even so, I mattered, come what may."

In June I announced that I was retiring from NYU after 39 years, but I am not leaving the field, or the fight for a public service press.

Today I can explain what I meant by not leaving the field. I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Read on. newscreatorcorps.org/2025/10/news...

I joined up with News Creator Corps by putting two and two together… Allow me to explain. - News Creator Corps

The consumers of news and information, the people formerly known as the audience, have gone into the production side.

The flower in the image is a fuchsia, specifically a hybrid fuchsia. These plants are known for their distinctive, drooping flowers that resemble lanterns. They resemble peppermints with red and white, ribbon like petals. Warm sunlight illuminates the flowers beautiful blooms.

“Closed“ by Monica Ikegwu (American) - Oil on canvas / 2021 - Baltimore Museum of Art (Maryland) #WomenInArt #WomenArtists #ArtText #WomanArtist #AmericanArtist #SelfPortrait #WomensArt #BaltimoreMuseumofArt #AfricanAmericanArtist #HipHopFashion #artwork #AfricanAmericanArt #Ikegwu #MonicaIkegwu

A beautiful young Black woman, American artist Monica Ikegwu herself, stands before a field of saturated crimson, the hue echoing across background, coat, and lipstick. She glances back over her left shoulder with a level, downward gaze. The high-gloss, quilted puffer coat is zipped and drawn close; deep, crisp folds gather at the collar and sleeves, catching pinpoint highlights that read like flashes on vinyl. Only a sliver of bare shoulder peeks out from the jacket. Her left hand rises just under her chin. Her hair is pulled into a low ponytail while her brows are neat and mouth composed. The red-on-red palette collapses space so the figure seems almost 3D, her silhouette defined by value shifts rather than outline. Hyper-real textures like stitched seams, knuckled fingers, specks of light on the coat contrast with the velvety, brush-quiet background.

In "Closed," paired with its companion "Open" (posted by me a few months ago on Bluesky), Ikegwu uses fashion as psychology: a zipped coat becomes armor; an unzipped one (in the other panel) signals exposure and ease. The monochrome crimson operates like a mood conveying heat, attention, and power while also flattening context so that presence itself is the subject. Ikegwu calls her practice a study of “perception… how people are viewed and how they want to appear,” and she aims to “capture the person… their essence” without forcing them into someone else’s ideal. Here, the artist stages herself as both model and message, aligning with hip-hop’s sartorial codes where outerwear telegraphs status and stance.

The downward gaze reads regal rather than deferent; the hand near the chin, a pivot between reserve and declaration. Painted in 2021, while the Baltimore-born artist was consolidating a hyper-real, figure-forward language, "Closed" reflects her broader project: celebrating Black self-presentation including youth, attitude, and choice through academic precision sharpened by contemporary style.
