Thank you SO much for sharing! Your words never cease to hit me down to my core. Turning the other cheek, is just as bad as the people who try to make Black culture non-existent. Caroline, I love how you are doing the work, you mentioned on a smaller scale, but your work matters SO much. It takes these smaller ripples to reach and make an impact. I pray for the day when white supremacy is erased and you can we can all be free. The work you are doing isn’t just for us in this generation, but for so many generations to follow. The legacy you are building in your work as an artist is so great. I’m sharing this article everywhere I can because THIS, is what matters right now. So many people are feeling the downfall, the crisis, the blatant white washing and it is so deeply wrong. So many of us are feeling this call to stand up and do something and I long to stand up and use my voice and my art in some way, too.
Nichole, your words deeply touch me. I feel more seen in this work than I have in a long time. Thank you so much for taking the time to pour into me. It means so, so much. I can't wait to witness more of your art!
This was beautiful! My husband commented that he thought “halftime shows that appealed across generations like Aerosmith were better.” I said “what if this isn’t supposed to be for us?” I had not listed to Kendrick Lamar’s music before the halftime show. I knew a little about his beef with Drake. But not the significance of Not Like Us. I enjoyed the show and learning the background has made me enjoy it more.
