Art of the Week

“Sharecropper” is a powerful portrait of an anonymous woman that calls attention to the hardships experienced by tenant farmers of the American South, who were required to pay for the land they rented with part of their crop and thus often faced lifelong debt. She created “Sharecropper” at the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Graphic Workshop) in Mexico City, which was dedicated to the production of socially engaged prints.”

TV Show of the Week

Heidi and Tim are at it again. They have left the runway and found a new home for their fashion ideas. With the pandemic they created a bubble, got designers together and let the magic happen again. The fun thing about this show is that you were able to buy the winning item each week on Amazon.

That is so cool to be able to buy it!

The show is on Prime. (of course)

Art of the Month

I am most grateful for those amazing writers and artists that have share their words with the world over the past couple of centuries. Even though they have not been lauded, people of color have been telling their truths for as long as we have been in the world. These truths are powerful, encouraging, and enlightening.
