by Ayika Tshimanga Ariana Grande recently released a music video for her song, “7 Rings”, a repetitive pop-trap&B tune with all the necessary ingredients to bring out your innermost bad bitch. The bouncy trap beat, braggadocious lyrics, and an attempt to ooze the kind of confidence radiating from pop stars like Beyoncé on “Apeshit”, or Rihanna […]

by Andrew Keahey Awards season is never much of a shining time for creatives of color. It’s consistently a celebration of white achievement while Black excellence and other visionaries of color are routinely ignored in favor of the same tropes and story telling devices that we’re used to seeing year after year. These tropes become […]

Art director Momo Pixel (really, that’s her name, not making this up) has created a game based on an all too familiar microaggression that comes along with being Black; dodging the hands of those who wish to have ownership or control of our hair. Pixel created the game after recounting a story of strangers reaching […]

Police officers in Cleveland, OH are upset about some Cleveland Browns players’ decision to protest the National Anthem at a recent preseason game. To respond, they’ve decided to not appear at the stadium with the U.S. flag as a form of counter protest before the team’s first game on Sept. 10.
