The Romantic Consultant

I do not believe in open relationships. I am a hopeless romantic, straightforward, talented, loyal, organized, gifted, strategist, researcher, and a consultant. I have not provided any dance performance services since 2016. I do not remember Ms. Cindy Jackson from the Howard University's Upward Bound program from 1992. I was 15 at that time. I do remember Mr. Marvin Sinn (1987) apprenticing under and Mr. Winston Kennedy from Howard University (1987). I was 11 years old at that time and a student at NationHouse.

My favorite restaurants have been closed for many years and my favorite food is not French nor Italian. I am an American and an adult. I have had the opportunity to provide numerous services. I do not conduct dating services. I have had the opportunity to work with many children until 2018.

I have many favorite movies on tv.

I am very selective. Only attracted to single straight male over the age of 30. Not interested in dating women, married men, senior citizens nor boys. I am not joking around, playing mind games and entertaining gossip and lies.

Please stop looking at old photos of me because I have thrown away many clothing articles and other items.

June 2023, I was still an adult. I love single straight male over the age of 30 who act respectful, gentlemen and transparent.

My only telephone number is 202-384-5925

Stop speaking to other people that do not know me at all. The only reason why you do not believe me is because you can not remember or you have something to hide. I am not ashamed nor regret anything about my past.

Color Beyond Skin

Color Beyond Skin. Digital art created on canvas. November 30, 2024. Afrika Abney What does the color of my skin have to do with you accepting me for who I am? Everything.

Honest Conversations

“In the workplace, open communication means sharing information honestly and transparently at all levels of the organization. This means no one is kept in the dark.Honesty helps in developing good attributes like kindness, discipline, truthfulness, moral integrity and more.” Quote found on the Internet With more than three decades of professional experience, I have come to recognize the critical role that transparent communication plays in fostering strong relationships. Engaging in sincere dialogues not only enhances trust but also cultivates a supportive environment among former clients and members of the community. This approach has proven to be instrumental in establishing connections that are both meaningful and enduring. Throughout my extensive career spanning over 30 years, I have consistently emphasized the value of open and honest discussions. Such interactions are essential for nurturing positive and constructive relationships with past clients and individuals wit...

Balance and harmony

Choosing the color peach was a deliberate decision for me, as it embodies the essence of balance and harmony that I strive to achieve in my digital abstract artwork. This particular hue resonates with a sense of warmth and tranquility. As I explored the nuances of peach, I reflected on how this color can evoke feelings of comfort and serenity, making it a perfect choice for conveying the intricate dynamics of relationships through art.

Canvas of Experiences

Canvas of Experiences. Digital art created on canvas. October 26, 2024. Afrika Abney I am a dedicated and passionate professional. In the 1990s up until 1996, I was a teenager. I chose brown ochre to represent the color of my skin. White and black to represent the racism and discrimination that I began to experience in the 1990s and continued beyond the 1990s. There is darkness within the experiences of racism and discrimination. However, the contrasting colors represent the persistence of overcoming the hardships of experiencing racism and discrimination.

Shades of Perseverance

Shades of Perseverance. Digital art created on canvas. October 8, 2024. Afrika Abney Shades of Perseverance is depicted with the layers of brush techniques, shades of brown against the solid background. When I was a teenager from 1989 - 1996, I implemented not only the shades of perseverance, but continued to move forward on graduating from each educational institution that I attended between 1989 - 1997. According to my research, “the exploration of struggle and survival is vividly encapsulated in a palette dominated by earthy browns. This color scheme evokes a sense of resilience, reflecting the harsh realities faced by individuals and communities as they navigate through adversity. The various shades of brown symbolize the complexities of life, from the deep, rich tones that represent strength and endurance to the lighter hues that suggest hope and renewal. Each nuance tells a story of perseverance, illustrating how people confront challenges a...

Autumnal Expressions

Autumnal Expressions. Digital art created on canvas. September 29, 2024.

As the days grow shorter and temperatures begin to drop, the landscape is painted in dark brown, deep dark brown, deep red and deep magenta.This seasonal shift not only affects the environment but also evokes a range of emotions and reflections. The beauty of autumnal expressions lies not only in the visual splendor of the season but also in the deeper meanings and emotions it inspires in creativity and productivity.”
