SHARING THE ABUNDANCE OF ARTISTRY WITHIN LIFE AND LIFESTYLE!

Week 19 of 2024

We’re inspired by the culture that is Black and African American first and foremost. We strive to love ourselves so we can effectively love others. We’re educating on how the Pride of Black People is key to the Prosperity and Privilege of Black People.

Social media plays a prominent role in who we are, who we have become and even how we will define ourselves into the future. As in and with Art, Design and Photography, we’re sharing and reflecting over the content that has influenced and impacted us today into tomorrow. The images above are taken from our social media platforms to encourage, inspire and educate. *We do not own the images shown while those images are used specific to educate on the Pride, Promise and Privilege that is Black People, Black Community and Black Culture.

Since a youngin, I knew that I wanted to do anything and everything that had to do with Art and Design. It didn’t take long after entering the working world that a tremendous passion for Photography would’ve been cultivated. Now—as an entrepreneur—I find myself in and at a place where so much can be done and I love it. The fusion of technology and creativity ignites the passion of artists, designers, photographers and more empowering them to capture, embody and reflect the essence of our rapidly evolving world while evoking emotions that transcend time. In what seems to be an ever-constant moment of reflection for African Americans, social media often not only informs me of who I am…but also in what the world is and has the potential to become.

Growing up off of magazines such as VIBE, BLACK MEN, BLACK ENTERPRISE, THE SOURCE, GQ and many others, I know, understand and have felt the impacts of commercialization within and thru culture thru and for capitalism. With that awareness and appreciation, I know the significance of being able to communicate artistic thoughts to be applied to the various platforms of life. In being a Man of Color, Culture and Ethnicity, I further appreciate being to create and produce…because of who and what we—as African Americans—are and ought to be.

*I’m doing this for so many reasons—it’s crazy. We weren’t put here to live in the filth of suppression, depression, oppression or repression. We were meant to maximize upon who we are to be of impact upon this pale blue dot. I didn’t com cup with a lot and as I got older, I knew that I wanted to create—like I REALLY just wanted to create. Experimentation…and creation. Now that I’ve gotten to that place where I can, I know that I must.

INSTAGRAM TO THREADS!

July 13, 2023  /  William Burrell Philpot IV

WE’RE NOW ON THE THREADS APP…

…and there’s more anxiety to make and create a Following that we may not have had on Instagram alone.

Seemingly better than Twitter, Meta’s Threads app seems cleaner and much more straight to the point. It’s nice to be able to make posts without the direct reliance on Images and Videos.

The process is simple; you create a Post just like that of Twitter absent all the clutter that is and has been GIF’s and everything else that serves as noise that has become Twitter.

Who Is Threads For?

To us, Threads is a platform for those IG accounts that don’t always want to post images and videos…basically. It’s a platform for thoughts and ideas without the need to upload images constantly…and yet…it is uniquely tied to the IG account.

What’s The Value With Threads?

Generally, Threads is a refreshing take on posting that takes it back to the first Twitter days. Short simple thoughts and ideas being conveyed in ways that easy to consume and understand. I believe for artists and creatives, this increases the potential of communicating ideas and concepts without the pressures of having to do so so much. As the idea of posting has becoming something of a part-time job, this reduces the pressures involved and just takes us back to a place of simplicity.

How We’ll Be Using Threads?

We’ll bet using Threads in a way that allows us to just communicate without the pressure of having to post images and/or videos. The speed and simplicity of just posting a thought that is associated with current Projects and/or trending subjects within our local communities.

Check us out on Threads as well as IG today!

SHARING THE ABUNDANCE OF ARTISTRY WITHIN LIFE AND LIFESTYLE!

We’re inspired by the culture that is Black and African American first and foremost. We strive to love ourselves so we can effectively love others.

Dedicated to the Black Woman—one of the GREATEST creations and forms of the Artistry of God and Nature, the Black Woman and Woman of Color, Culture and Ethnicity has served to inform us of not only our origin but also the source of our power as a people.

Social media plays a prominent role in who we are, who we have become and even how we will define ourselves into the future. As in and with Art, Design and Photography, we’re sharing and reflecting over the content that has influenced and impacted us today into tomorrow.
