Friendly and approachable, like hosting a dinner party.

Years ago, a cardiologist insisted I have a loop recorder installed in my chest. The purpose was to monitor my heart. Little did they know, they created an android. This piece meditates on the history of Black bodies as vessels of experimentation, and how the melding of tech and self has a longer history than one might imagine. The piece is titled PMHx, a medical acronym for Patient Medical History. It originally aired on BBC Radio 4’s Shortcuts. A special thanks to C’ne Rohlsen, Axel Kacoutié, C.C. Paschal, Cher Vincent, Zakiya Gibbons, and Veralyn Williams for editorial and artistic guidance.

an ode to routine, rhythm and repetition bounded by the seasons

It's (finally) a good day in Brooklyn.

"Having high visibility is important for building trust with program participants and the community. Repeat visibility can be achieved through radio, television, posters, or through faith-based organizations or community events."

A drifting mind ruled supreme.

A meditation on digital ownership, and the land grab of ideas.

Parked between the bridges A disabled carousel waits in view, begging for action The shadows of myself dissolve into the ice in the grounds I brought with me The polar pieces of myself wade gently in the east river

Blackness, freedom, and cycling feel connected. In a country where we aren’t free, bikes allow us to take freedom back, using our minds and bodies to take us wherever we want to go. That’s why being at the Mind Body Results BLM protest felt like a gumbo of this moment. You can view and read the full photo essay here.

this morning, I woke with a composition in my head based on a sample from “Jupiter” from The Marias…here’s the making of it, from capturing the sample, to building the composition around it, to engineering the sounds, to programming the drums, to the final bounce.

"time is of no real factor"

Ashley said the hold music for Nordstrom is great, and I trust her taste in music, so I listened for myself

Inspired by a prompt from Ari Mejia, the three of us (Ari, Erisa Apantaku, and myself) created three pieces under our interpretation of the exquisite corpse method of collage art-making. Ariana Martinez created an accompanied digital zine to view while listening to the pieces.

breathe in and hold your breath...

the old haunts

For four seconds you aren’t living, then it comes back again

so much of this time ocean breeze lying next to you fingertips like trees heating pad inbetween first snow let it go

having a panic attack in a store, trying to calm the anger, it creeping back up until it can no longer be contained and having to leave the store, blaming everyone but myself, realizing the issue, taking a walk to lower my heart rate

take one minute. recognize what is happening. allow life to be just as it is. investigate inner experience. non-identification.

a relationship slowly unravels

is emotional distance

How we keep tabs on ourselves and others.

lemme get some room tone real quick

”life is much more than an instrument ... a social validation feedback loop.”

"When she was younger, 30-year-old Ayesha McGowan looked up to African-American sports heroes like Venus and Serena Williams, Florence Griffith Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. But she never saw female African-American cyclists."

"COIN COIN explores how, when broken down into the most minute details, new meanings arise beyond the surface levels of one-dimensional human acceptance, generally attached to shades of difference, and fear of the unknown."

"her accomplishments set the stage for my success, and through players like myself and Serena and many others to come, her legacy will live on"

halloween came really early

distorted to all hell // racing to the end

I was missing, a huge piece of my life

"is this thing on?" i asked myself as I floated

there’s an after party in space, you should head there before the busses stop running for the night

HOP IN YOUR CAR AND GO
