"Black art has always been political by virtue of every Black identity being perpetually politicized, but it was during this time of liberatory genius that many Black artists came to be respected as architects of the revolution..." by @FeministaJones thecrisismagazine.com/single…

Thank you to everyone who donated and shared the #3artsproject "Feeling First: A Recipe for Inspiration" campaign. We hit our goal, but feel free to donate more, but it is a huge relief to know that I can collaborate with my dear friend @BrotherEl. 3arts.org/projects/feeling-f…

This thread says so much to me about how Chicago has always been a place for groundbreaking work. We need to value that.
In the process of thinking about who has made history in talking about vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, I learned about Alvenia Fulton in a conversation with @tarabetts.
Meet just a few of the 400+ black culinary innovators we will recognize in African/American: Making the Nation's Table. We think these stories deserve to be told. If you're with us, RT and join the campaign at aa.mofad.org. #nationstable

As a salute to some well-known black vegans, I'd like to showcase them as we continue the #3Artsproject crowdfunding for "Feeling First: A Recipe for Inspiration."

My friend @BrotherEl could reach $3000 tonight for his breakbeats album & vegan cookbook, which I will be editing. I’ve promised to create an original poem gifted only to donors who give $15 or more. If he gets $4000 he’ll reach his goal. 3arts.org/projects/feeling-f…. #GivingTuesday

Full disclosure: This is a really vulnerable journey, and it’s not over. I am truly grateful for my supporters. It’s take a lot out me to essentially put it on the line and ask for help to support this creative… instagram.com/p/B5nW3fSl8N5/… – at Chicago, IL

Is there a better way to sit down, eat, and start bopping at the table? Good food makes us all happy!
I heard folk tweet in the morning... Well this is good reason too. Feeling First: A Recipe for inspiration is getting love. Let’s fund this vegan cookbook and breakbeat album for healing. #feelingfirst

Part of the reason why I’m supporting @BrotherEl’s #3artsproject is that he is an educator making a healthy diets more accessible in places that have been food deserts. Although there are more options now, it’s still not like other parts of the city. 3arts.org//projects/feeling-…
