A while back, I paid a visit to earthSista WildOrchid’s place. It was right after she’d gotten a new tattoo, I believe. I was always arguing with her about her hair at the time. She is such a rebel.Anyway, this is just a moment, at her place at the time, on her back deck. Being silly and playful about hair and tattoos. When it comes to art, food, fashion, health, fitness music, culture...

Started less than a year ago, the event...

a personal account… “Come out of the rain and be inspired.” That was the tag I shared in one of the invites I sent out for last night’s AfroSocial. Humidity hung in the air outside the Apache Cafe keeping it from getting too cold and while rain was a constant threat, the skies held back most of their tears. For this first AfroSocial of 2015 three earthSistas stepped up to t...

I have to say, I did not see this coming. The week started rather spectacularly with an earthSista image shoot featuring new earthSista Raine. It was the beginning of her Oshun Series that she plans to elaborate on in the near future. The beautiful diva was adorned in gems provided by jewelry designer Zeus DeShaman, embellished by talented make-up artist, earthSista FURY and dressed by stylist Jam...

Miss JadeFox lives. A couple of weeks ago the earthSistas performed a theme at the Apache Cafe–posing for artists and photographers. VoodooChile. We each inhabited different incarnations of the woman of magic. We brought totems, masks, candles to allow ourselves to get into a trance. On the back patio, in the cool night air, we dress each other, paint our bodies, as if the act of prepping wa...
