Creative Affinity

 



Creative Affinity. Digital art created on canvas. December 30, 2024. Afrika Abney 


I have the innate ability to use my creativity to produce intricate and expressive abstract traditional and digital paintings and collages. I have the drive and passion to portray my romantic traits in my long term committed relationships with men in personal settings. In my professional settings, I have exhibited my natural born leadership skills. Each of these are portrayed through the color symbolism in my abstract digital painting. 


Red represents passion and devotion. Shades of gold and orange represent creativity. Blue represents innovative thinking. While,purple represents spirituality.

However, the growing civil rights movement and increasing awareness of racial inequality fostered a climate of activism and advocacy, pushing for greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This period saw the rise of organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing these disparities, paving the w...

Youtube Channel

“My YouTube channel, which was unexpectedly removed yesterday, had no violations or issues that warranted such action. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my time to sharing my digital art and offering consulting services through this platform. The abrupt removal of my channel has left me perplexed and frustrated, as I have always adhered to the community guidelines and worked diligently to build a positive presence.” Whomever thinks that these types of experiences are humorous are mistaken. I have been providing services as a consultant since I was 15 years old and as an African - American, I am quite frankly tired of experiencing discrimination which I have been experiencing for over 30 years.
