I’ve been dreaming of living like this since I was a teenager. Doing what I love for a life while honoring my ancestors, unearthing their stories, and igniting a new imagination for the future. @greenwood.art.project @tulsaartistfellowship #anthropologist #anthropology #awaken

The highest form of intelligence to me is the ability to be in and cultivate harmony with other people. You can know many facts and figures but if you can't use your knowledge to breed, serve, challenge and uplift community, what good is it really?

“The protest organizers out there, they’re not just holding space for their voices to be heard. They are literally holding the souls of Black folk long enough for us to emote, and I’m grateful.” — @marlonfhall lifeandthyme.com/commentary/…

Archivists found the original handwritten General Order No. 3 buried in the stacks of the National Archives Building.
The order, issued in Galveston on June 19, 1865, informed the people of Texas that all enslaved people were now free.

Thank you @GayleKing & @RodneyCBSNews for allowing me to share my anthropological passion for the Phoenix rising from the ashes of Greenwood.
Burned to ashes by the fires of racism and the rage of the KluKluxKlan, my work in Tulsa is to generate projects that conjure the Phoenix of black beauty that still rises from the ashes of the 1921 massacre’s pain. God is so good!
I professionally listen for the impenetrable force that always sings the human spirit whole. I have been blessed with the opportunity to dance and sing with legacy of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma also known as Black Wallstreet.
Anthropology is a listening practice and study of human culture. To be human is to be inherently resilient. My mission is to unearth beauty from brokenness in communities that are fragmented by systemic oppression.
A PHOENIX IS RISING/// I am blessed as an artist and anthropologist to create projects in partnership with the Greenwood community through my @tulsaartistfellowship and my role as the @greenwood.art.project social media anthropologist. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\||||||||||\\\\\\\\\\
Phoenix: Are you famous Daddy?
Me: I’m not famous baby, I work to be faithful and if my faithfulness leads my work, then my “fame” will lead to God.
