This year's Colors of Connection Gala in honor of @lacommons was a vibe.
It was great to run into friends and colleagues, while also meeting established and rising generation of storytellers and artists, using their talents and crafts to create spaces for connection, joy, love; collectively sharing our pride in who we are in our hues of Blackness, celebrating the richness of the newly designated South Central LA's Historic Black Cultural District. Thank you Senator @lolasmallwoodcuevas
Our CEO Karen Mack, with her famous laugh, is truly a weaver, connecting different pockets of people and places into a tapestry of who we truly are as one L.A. with many cultural expressions.
The value of our diversity is monetized by the incredible efforts to silence and erase our contributions in this era. BUT artists preserve truth through their words, sound, movement, visual interpretations, monuments, and experiences they create.
L.A.Commons supports community artists who craft the works so our presence is remembered into time immemorial.
Congratulations to all of the honorees -Dr. Robert K. Ross, Prophet Walker, and Lauren Halsey, the legacy you have imprinted on the LA landscape inspires each of us to love a little more.
How did it get blessed with chairing this board?

Just when I think white is your color, you dispel that theory and I think yellow is your color. Now, well now, I'm thinking it might be purple. 😉❤️. Beautiful in all ways, always.
