benje.gs is one of our digital creators of the year! He just started his journey as a full-time, first-time home renovator. If you are interested in seeing the work that goes into it and supporting his journey, my 19-year-old self (who did the exact same thing) would appreciate your follows and watching his videos. He also needs to make a cleaning playlist. The Caribbean music had me up dusting and washing clothes today. A collaboration with Nesta would be fabulous. Follow his page too.

This New York Caribbean gal living in Michigan would appreciate your support for these two young men.

Heartfelt post: I see, feel, and appreciate you more than words can say. Your love, support, and encouragement have lifted me in ways I never imagined. Now, I'd like to ask you to share this moment with me as I present a lifetime of my work.
My first-ever solo fiber art exhibition is in East Lansing, and I would love for you to experience it with me. This show is more than fabric and stitches; it is woven together by poetry, survival, and storytelling. It is my heart, my hands, my healing.
🗓 Artist Reception: Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 1-2 pm
📍 East Lansing Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road, East Lansing (Second Floor, Elevator Access)
The exhibit runs until March 31, 2025. If you cannot attend the opening, please sign the guest book. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Your presence means everything. Come see the art, hear the stories, and let us celebrate this moment together.
With gratitude,
💛 RiRi

Check out our documentary! This documentary explores the rich history and cultural significance of doulas and midwives in childbirth, highlighting their vital role in empowering Black birthing individuals.

Through interviews with doulas, midwives, and families, the film delves into the personalized care and advocacy these professionals provide. It examines how they guide birthing families through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care. The documentary also emphasizes the resurgence of traditional birth practices in the Black community and their critical importance in today's healthcare system, aiming to advance healthy births.
