Mx B. Hawk Snipes

Right before & after moderating at Day 1 of Culture Con I was told that @gracedetrevarah , @jiiggy.333 & my cat baby (with Jah) Basil had passed away. 💔

As I was on my way to BK Navy Yard I was a emotional wreck on the inside but I chose to pull strength from my ancestors to show up & stand in my power. I wanted to pay tribute to 4 of them that got me this far . Black women (cis & trans) are the pillars of our existence and impact culture. I wanted to honor them in collaboration with jewelry maker @creeandcompany . 🖼️✨

I stand tall with all of you on my shoulders & will love you forever.

I SAY THEIR NAMES:
Henrietta Gortman (Nene)
Lena Gortman (Aunt Tot)
Grace Detrevarah
Miss Major
Jaylen King Jones (Jiggy)
Basil Beverly (Bookie)

Rest in Peace & Power.
Asé 🕯️✨
