this year, and beyond, i will move with my own mutability as a gift and no longer search for performative one-dimensionality. being home has taught me this, as i have had to witness my own shapeshifting and reckon with the deep-rooted reasons for it. i remember one day hearing adrienne maree brown and bayo akomolafe ask each other, “so what if i’m a shapeshifter?” and how they instinctually move and mutate through the cracks of the earth, and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since. this piece of writing is inspired by that question. as i become many different forms, i will stay grounded in my ever-changing essence and merge together the many shapes i am capable of becoming. 💞

I have always loved and learned from @wendymac’s work. In the very early days of the pandemic, she was one of the first artists to offer free virtual daily drawing practice to everyone — especially kids — sheltered in place. Posting her drawing practice as a small act of seeing. It’s been a horrific week plus. As a generous host, to practice protection as well as connection, I’m turning the comments off for a period. Social media is creating even more separation. One antidote to horror is connection. Sending love. Thank you, @wendymac for reminding us to see each other. Not what we expect to see. But the stranger in front of us. Via @nytopinion
