Black Belt Shopper Arlene came early to Harlem for the Holidays and snagged some key items from a few vendor.  Arlene loves fashion and although she says we trap her by making everything to fit HER, we can't help it that she looks good in everything.  Jacket by Laura Gadson: http://www.thegadsongallery.com/ Scarf by Debo: https://www.facebook.com/designsbydebo/ You've got one more week to pick up some very cool gifts handcrafted by local artists. 225 West 134th Street (bt.

I got to the Met just in time to see the Rei Kawakubo Comme De Garçons.  It closes September 4th.  Just a few more days and then something else original and inspiring will show up.

 June 10th 2017, Union Docs (https://uniondocs.org/), premiered 8 short films, one of which I was involved with.......for me that was pretty cool. Two programs of very strong work; one that enters on remarkable spaces of community and resistance, and another centered on unshakeable duos, odd couples, and partners in the struggle. They began the first part of the program in Sternberg Park aka The Big Park. The second part was viewed at Union Docs.It was an incredible night to watch the creative work of these filmakers.
