Community Series
There is no one formula for development but a good place to start is with understanding each other. Too many of the problems we face are because people do not listen to other people who are not like them.
The community series will be an ongoing conversation with different groups within our Black communities globally to get perspective on the lens through which they see and the nerves through which they experience life.
Open-mindedness is essential to considering other people when making decisions. We are individual stars in our own "life-show" collectively though, we can create a blockbuster!

Self-Slaying
Life can be shitty, but even its messiness will not last forever. This week episode is the 1st in a two part talk with Dr. Kamesha Spates on suicide particularly in black communities. For the longest time, we as black people have had to be strong and endure so much so that we do not talk about uncomfortable yet real things like suicide. The first step to healing is acknowledging and BLACKLIVESMATTER… YOURLIFE MATTERS so please if you ever feel like you are alone and don’t want to live anymore I am opening my door to you. Send me a message on instagram @visionary_tamakloe or email me at Tamaklo.art@gmail.com. YOU matter and your future can be the light for another. I love you all!

Reconciliation 2!
While tensions rise, the harsh reality of the people who are not considered “majority” is made visible. From the numerous deaths of blacks in America and the mistreatment of Africans in Asia, specifically China. We are reminded through these struggles that we are one people. As we brainstorm the way forward, do not forget we ARE the majority and we WILL thrive but to do that, we MUST unite.
Reconciliation!
For centuries, others have decided what they think is best for black and brown people all over the world. Separation and mutual ignorance has isolated from each other but that needs not be the case. We can meet in the middle of this labyrinth and MOVE!
