01 / CURRENTLY READING
ROUX by Tamika Christy
It’s all the drama, trauma, family secrets, and deep love a Southern Black family embodies. I’m reading it slowly.
03 / RECENTLY VISITED
The Whitney Museum of Art in NYC. Nile Harris’ Dark Brown Birkin Bag and co-performance with Dyer Rhoads titled End of Days were worth it.
02 / FIELD NOTE
The eye contact means everything between two Black women at the driving range. They assumed they were the only, so the other’s presence provides a sense of safety even if they never say a word to each other.
05 / MATERIAL STUDY
Lace is held together as much by what is absent as by what remains. It has never been about hiding the body but honoring it without needing to explain its beauty.
I've been wondering how often Black queer women have had to become both the garment and the one who wears it. There is something deeply Black about building a life that proves softness can be structural.
06 / IN CONVERSATION WITH
Chriscilla Browning, a food and beverage stylist in North Carolina. I wonder what PARLO would look like as a floral + champagne combination. It’ll be one of the first projects introduced in the the Studio.
07 / LISTENING TO
Ayra Starr- All The Love
10 / STILL THINKING ABOUT
The view on the 16th hole at Poipu Bay Golf Course
08 / QUESTION I’M CARRYING
How comfortable are we with silence on the course, with or without a friend?
11 / NEXT STOP

09 / FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE

04 / ON MY VANITY
