A community of "black love" opens its heart to you
An African American community that celebrates its culture through support for contemporary artists who showcase their identity and save its legacy in the process.
Try to stand in their footsteps
and look out their windows
Respect their culture
Listen to their stories and trust their wisdom
Know how those stories connect to a larger narrative
and how that narrative is sometimes ignored
because it is rooted in systemic racism
Acknowledge the efforts put in to run this race
Support their work; maybe eat a cookie
Acknowledge their past, present and future.
