WHY BLEND IN WHEN YOU CAN STAND OUT?

However, in this 2022 interview lead by Digital Boombox Network I stand by the de-weoponization of victimhood, and the importance of unapologetic queerness in 2025. The Donald Trump/Elon Musk duo era is going to be a circus.

The doll test was a series of experiments conducted in the 1940s and 1950s by psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark which takes a closer look at wellness.

DOLL LINE HONORING BLACK BOYS (2021)

Check out the story behind these plush dolls which I found inspiring.

QUOTES:

"I want the world to think good things about Brown boys. We aren’t bad, or mean, or trouble; we are smart, fun, and creative"

"During the pandemic, with so much going on in the media that children had a front seat to view, our boys needed to be reminded how special they are"

"Dee and I spoke a lot about George Floyd during this time and he was visually sad"

"Our boys are often depicted negatively in the media. On store shelves, the representation is minimal. And within the toys category, there is almost none for our boys. We must have opportunities for our boys to see themselves positively everywhere. Representation matters."
