Timeless Connections

I find that dating applications do not align with my personal preferences. As a traditional single woman who identifies as straight and is over the age of 30, I hold the belief that utilizing such platforms to seek companionship is not a suitable approach for attracting a single man within the same age bracket.

I strongly believe in forming lasting romantic and committed relationships with someone of the opposite sex. I prefer meaningful interactions over casual encounters.

My College Experiences

My college experiences were diverse. I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in New York City in 1993 at The New Harlem Gallery (New York City, New York) and Wisteria ArtSpace (New York City, New York). I was 16 years old at that time. Additionally, I participated in the Congressional Art Competition in 1993. I was exposed to a diverse set of people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations from 1993 - 1997. I had the opportunity to met Ms. Lois Jones when I was a college student and exhibit my artwork in several exhibitions from 1996 - 1997. Among them include: "Evolution of Historical Symbolisms." Corcoran Gallery of the Art, Hemicycle, Washington, DC. 1997; and "All Senior Summer Show." Corcoran School of the Art, White Walls Gallery, Washington, DC. 1997-1996. Each of these experiences allowed me to produce a different set of artwork and develop a wide range of skills.

DC Black School Leaders

“Nearly 70% of DC principals are black. A majority of those leaders are black women. Over the next few weeks, months, and even years, there will be much questioning about the capabilities and values of a Black and Indian woman on an international stage. This will inevitably be challenging for many people, particularly black women, who are disproportionately subjected to such critique and skepticism. Black women have a vital role in education and, as demonstrated time and again, in our political landscape. If our students are going to experience the consistency, justice and academic experience we know they deserve, taking care of ourselves is not a luxury—it's imperative.” NationHouse Anniversary 1980s I gave away this outfit many years ago.

Values

This is a collage that I created many years ago and gave away. It was one of the pieces that I featured on my old greeting cards. I created this piece while I was a student at Bell from 1991 - 1993. Values. Greeting card created and designed by Afrika Abney I strive to demonstrate my levels of integrity, empathy, and compassion within my community. I chose the following colors: blue, pink, yellow, black, and purple because it each of those colors have a relationship to one another and meaning.
