Thank you for becoming a Founding Member, Lauren. The first day support feels incredible. Someone from ARRAY will be in touch about your goodies! Major props to you because you became an FM before we even announced the goodies! Thank you! xo
I’m interested in writing our black history without white washing it. A white lady told me when she read my outline. That I needed to whitewash it. She actually said. We haven’t spoke. Yet
I’m so glad to see you here. You are truly inspiring. I’ve been having a recurring dream about what would have happened if Africans came to America because they chose to in order to create an America working with the indigenous people instead of being slaves fighting and winning against European colonialism. Imagine what this alliance would look like.
Lol, you're very welcome. This is the time to buy ALL the history books before they get banned. This is also the time to turn towards and support our Griots like @Ava DuVernay, Ryan Coogler, and all the rest that will be coming to teach under the "Baobab Tree."
Well THAT’S AMAZING! American history has been sooooo whitewashed that this kind of information is suppressed. I just wonder where we’d be if slavery never happened. What if racism was destroyed BEFORE colonizers were able to justify slavery using religion. I’d watch that movie.
Your chat was great today!! I am not creative but I love creatives. I love being inspired by seeing what you think about when it’s on screen. I love that you are pushing boundaries!!
I 'm glad to find a place that will keep us informed and aware of the REAL TRUTH. I'm looking forward to the Joy and Blessings to come from this new venture. Carole Huff
I been an ARRAY rebel since late 2016 after seeing 13th and that first season of Queen Sugar. The impact those two made truly changed my life and continue to change my perspective as an artist in the years ahead. It is truly an honor to connect with you, Ava. ONWARD!
😊 I'm here for all of it! I love good conversation. I love sharing. I love learning. I love being inspired. I love inspiring. I love being in good company with people who look like me because they understand my vibe. 🤗 I'm here to shake the table with love. I'm a storyteller because it's cathartic for me. So, I'll be pulling up sometimes to join in the conversation.
Love this!! Once you said art I was in. Would love to know what you think ❤️

@Lola They DID. 'They came before Columbus.' The historian Ivan Van Sertima wrote a book about their travels. Check it out if you can find it.
