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.

When do you feel the most courageous?

Each day, I find myself embodying a profound sense of courage that shapes my actions and decisions. Over the span of more than thirty years, I have encountered a multitude of situations that demanded bravery, often pushing me to tap into my inner strength. These experiences have not only tested my limits but have also reinforced the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. Reflecting on the past three decades, I can recall countless moments where I was compelled to summon this vital quality. Whether it was standing up for my beliefs or making difficult choices, each instance has contributed to a deeper understanding of what it means to be truly courageous. As I continue to embrace this journey, I recognize that courage is not merely the absence of fear but rather the determination to act despite it. The lessons learned from my experiences have shaped my character and instilled a sense of confidence that propels me forward. With every challenge I face, I am reminded that...

Brown Resilience

Brown Resilience. Digital art created on canvas. October 6, 2024. Afrika Abney According to my research, “ the color brown represents resilience encapsulating qualities such as bravery, perseverance, and hopefulness.”

East of the Anacostia River

““East of the River” was simply a geographical description without particular significance. But, it later became how some describe the neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River — often with a negative connotation. During the 1930s and 1940s, land development of the area continued alongside increased racial diversification of the region. At the end of World War II, white flight into suburban Maryland and Virginia resulted in a majority-Black Anacostia. The Anacostia River watershed in the District of Columbia and Maryland is home to more than 800,000 people, 43 species of fish and some 200 species of birds. The watershed has been heavily urbanized over time, losing 6,500 acres of wetlands and 70% of its forest cover. Over the past four centuries the Anacostia has been given many names: the Eastern Branch of the Potomac, the other national river, the dirtiest river in the nation, the forgotten river.” I am dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals and famil...

Warmth of the Season

Warmth of the Season. Digital art created on canvas. December 12, 2024. Afrika Abney I found various instrumental Christmas music on Youtube and television that creates a sense of warmth.

Ideal Conversations

Ideal Conversations. Digital art created on canvas. August 3, 2024. Afrika Abney The vibrant yellow hues used in this artwork evoke feelings of warmth, happiness, and creativity. The monochromatic color scheme adds a sense of unity and harmony to the piece. The artist's choice of yellow as the dominant color in this painting is no coincidence. Yellow is often associated with feelings of joy, optimism, and enlightenment. This yellow painting with a yellow background is not just a piece of art, but a symbol of hope and happiness. The use of vibrant yellow hues and the monochromatic color scheme create a sense of unity and harmony. Committed to fostering community engagement through the arts, I excel in facilitating discussions around art, dance, and poetry. My work not only showcases creativity but also serves as a platform for meaningful conversations that enrich the cultural fabric of the community. An ideal conversation at work can be effective and meaningful, and can help you le...

Inaccurate information and Past professional experiences

I was 6 years old when the above photo was taken of me. At that time in 1982, I was a student at NationHouse. I have thrown the clothes away years later. Since many people obviously have inaccurate information and are under the impression that I am hiring people. Let me take a moment to offer some brief insight on my past professional experiences. Since my employment with Jubilee Enterprises in 2021, I have not engaged in any hiring activities. My last experience in recruiting was in 2016, when I facilitated a series of visual art workshops that took place in 2016, which were focused on skill development rather than recruitment. I urge those who may be attempting to tarnish my reputation or undermine my future prospects to reconsider their actions. Spreading inaccurate information is neither constructive nor justified, and it only serves to create unnecessary confusion and harm. It is essential to maintain a professional environment where facts are respected and communicated accuratel...

Full Moon Essence

Full Moon Essence. Digital art created on canvas. October 19, 2024. Afrika Abney Where did you read that my digital abstract is about relationships or dates? Nowhere, when I create my digital abstract painting, I have composed something about the abstract digital painting. If I did not add anything, then, you should use logic to conclude what it is about. Full Moon Essence composed of shades of yellow and blue.

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.
