Commitment in Genuineness

“Vote one for love” which is a television movie released in 2023 is about “when Candace, a up and coming political operative in DC, is sent home to small town Heartstone Wyoming to help win a mayoral race, she is shocked to discover her high school rival is the candidate in question... and possibly the one who can win the vacant seat in her heart!”

My hometown is Washington, DC. I never visited Texas nor any part of California. I believe that this movie highlighted the importance of commitment, dedication, devotion, trust, respect, and fully listening to the choices and decisions revolving around the role played by Candace and Derek. Diving all in or not all.

Festive Tapestry

Festive Tapestry. Digital art created on canvas. November 25, 2024. Afrika Abney “ The term "Festive Tapestry" evokes a rich and vibrant image, suggesting a woven fabric that embodies the spirit of celebration and joy. This concept can be interpreted as a metaphor for the intricate and colorful experiences that come together during festive occasions. Each thread in the tapestry represents a unique element of the celebration, whether it be the traditions, the people involved, or the emotions shared, all contributing to a larger narrative of communal joy and togetherness.”

Infinite Devotion

Infinite Devotion. Digital art created on canvas. December 8, 2024. Afrika Abney Infinite Devotion “signifies a deep-rooted connection that goes beyond typical loyalty. It suggests an unwavering commitment to uphold and champion values, relationships, or causes with complete dedication. This level of devotion is marked by a readiness to put aside personal desires and interests in order to prioritize the needs of the cherished individual or the cause at hand, showcasing the powerful nature of the relationship involved.”

My Zoo Experiences

I have thrown away many clothing articles including the ones shown in the above photo. Zoo 2015 Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to visit the Zoo on multiple occasions, spanning from the 1980s to 2018. During this time, I engaged with various community centers and educational institutions, offering my expertise and support to students. My involvement was particularly focused between 2009 and 2018, a period during which I dedicated significant effort to enhancing the educational experiences of young learners.

Challenge to Triumph

Based on my research, “in 1985, the African American community was navigating a complex landscape marked by both challenges and progress. This period was characterized by a growing awareness of civil rights issues, as well as a burgeoning cultural renaissance that celebrated African American identity and contributions. The decade was pivotal in the ongoing struggle for equality, with many individuals and organizations advocating for social justice, economic opportunities, and political representation. The legacy of the civil rights movement continued to influence activism, as new generations sought to address systemic inequalities and injustices faced by African Americans. During this time, the cultural scene was vibrant and dynamic, with significant contributions to music, literature, and the arts. The rise of hip-hop and the popularity of R&B and soul music reflected the experiences and aspirations of African Americans, while also serving as a platform for social commentary...

Autumn’s Raindrops

Afrika Abney “Autumn arrived three days ago, the rain transforms the landscape into a picturesque scene reminiscent of a painting. The air becomes crisp and invigorating, filled with the earthy scent of damp soil and decaying leaves. As the rain falls on this Wednesday morning, it nourishes the ground, preparing it for the winter ahead, while also inviting a sense of calm and introspection. The rhythmic sound of raindrops tapping against windows serves as a reminder to slow down and appreciate the fleeting moments of this enchanting season.”

Winter Solstice

Artistic Elegance

Blend of fashion and art “represents a unique fusion that transcends traditional boundaries, creating a dynamic dialogue between two distinct yet complementary disciplines. This amalgamation allows for the exploration of aesthetic principles, where the creativity inherent in artistic expression informs and enhances the design elements of fashion. As a result, garments become not merely items of clothing but rather canvases that convey deeper narratives and cultural commentary, reflecting the zeitgeist of contemporary society.”

Today's Inspiration

My days have been filled with a blend of research and creativity, as I immerse myself in the soothing melodies of the birds chirping just outside my window. This natural symphony serves as a backdrop to my digital art projects, where I channel my inspiration into vibrant creations that reflect both my inner thoughts and the beauty of the world around me. Each stroke and pixel is a testament to my dedication, as I strive to capture the essence of my surroundings while exploring new artistic techniques. Recently, I have also ventured into the realm of event services, where I leverage my skills as a consultant to offer valuable insights and support. This new endeavor allows me to connect with clients and help them bring their visions to life, whether it’s through strategic planning or creative direction. The excitement of collaborating with others and contributing to memorable experiences adds a dynamic layer to my work, making each project unique and fulfilling. Balancing my research, a...

Vibrant Visions of Faith

Vibrant Visions of Faith. Digital art created on canvas. November 26, 2024. Afrika Abney With the principle of faith, I am fortunate that I graduated from Bell Multicultural High School in 1993 because I felt alone, depressed, traumatized, isolated and discriminated against every time that I stepped inside the school from 1991 - 1993. The colors gold and shades of yellow are deliberately selected to depict optimism, while black represents faith.
