Artist. Educator. Activist. Cultural Worker. Writer. These are only a handful of the words that describe the absolute phenom of Ms. Ringgold. This past weekend we lost an absolute force; a woman whose words and work has captivated the hearts and souls of many. Her work felt like a comforting hug, a warm hand wrapped around your own, with a gentle offering of a comforting nod to the creative Black woman. Her dedication using her voice to amplify political concerns felt by both her and her community and to honoring the intersections of her identity has always inspired me to no end. May her work continue to be a guiding light to those needing affirmation that who you are and all that you are deserves to be not only honored, but uplifted in the brightest light possible. Rest in absolute peace <3
