Woke up to a blessing😭

Please continue to show me how good it can get 🗣️🗣️

Giving the kingdom something to be really mad about because we all know how royal families act towards secret children.

The throne is mine baby.

Short natural hair always gave Chic to me so I don’t know what all the fuss is about…

i see your death threat and i raise you: a life threat.

Treat yourself with something nice today! Go on a walk! Create something that sparks joy! Make progress on that passion project you've been putting off! Remember to hydrate! OR ELSE ☝️

THE shot

Plus the un-consented exploitation, pressure, that comes with being a “Preschool Lifestyle Influencer” so their parent “manager” can get some money or opportunities or whatever they are after…

Not only that…these children are sharing their routines, where they are going, what they like, etc. ONLINE.

Making themselves targets!!!

You have exposed your child to millions of eyes online and there are a bunch of weirdos online…

You have no idea what these weirdos are doing with your child’s content.

Parents who “manage” or push their children to become Preschool Lifestyle Influencers need to be slapped…

AMEN

Lol SAME. The only time I really talk to them is if it’s a family member or I have to at work. THAT’S IT.

Once I got to swinging my sword of detachment things started falling into place and doors started opening…so I believe that I made the right decision.

Exactly bby 😭 but I also stopped over talking to men. They actually piss me the fuck off fr.

And honestly you’re probably not even being a true “asshole” at all. You are just putting your needs first and not taking no shit from anyone and people are mad lol

Feeling blessed and grateful

I’m really screaming bc she’s actually a sexy lady cosplaying a sexy granny!!
Alma got me going through her IG in awe rn

I hope the generation of Black Ballerinas from the past to now are having a beautiful day. Their work, outfits, and many other things bring out the best in ballet.

If a CHILD or TEEN says you’re beautiful. Then you are beautiful and should not listen to any hating ass jealous ass adult!!

Feeling: Amazing ☺️

I notice how the “baddies” all have a certain…look

(Not that I want the excluded to be exploited in such a manner, just an observation!”

Stressed the whole time I was working through this practice exam and ended up scoring 100% on it😭

Feeling: Relieved

What if everything just works out?

Black women are just so damn beautiful. I just cannot!!!

My brain hurts but I love it! We are getting things DONE.

Feeling: Powerful 💪🏾

Dark painting in classical style, depicting a woman in a white dress with her back facing the viewer, wrapped in red fabric. The face of a man peaking through the darkness, near the woman's bleeding neck.

Book mockup of the first illustration.

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Sitting in my room, doomscrolling before this video call.

Feeling: Slightly Nervous 😬

If you’ve ever picked up a fantasy by a Black author you’ve probably seen Wilson’s work. She does a lot of incredible covers in YA and adult
