Poster. Purple background. On the right is a black and white photo of jazz great Willie Smith, sitting at his piano puffing on his cigar. Top text: Willie Smith was a 1920s Jewish Jazz legend. Smaller text explains Smit's father was Jewish, his mother a black laundress who had a Jewish client who invited him to sit in on Hebrew lessons Saturday mornings. He had a bar mitzvah and as an adult sang as a Jewish Cantor for a Black Jewish congregation in Harlem, NYC. He introduced Jewish music to his black fellow musicians.

I grew up being told I was too Black to be Jewish, too dark to be Jewish, too jewish to be Black, I talk "white", I dress "white", I'm too religious to be a "cool jew" & that I have no value.

Some still say this to me to this very day
But I know who I am.
I'm Elisheva 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽

An illustrated prayer for all of the LGBTQIA+ martyrs all over the world. Their vitality flows through our veins, emboldening us as we work to create the world that should have embraced them while they were flesh and bone.
