TASK 003: TREASURE

Cress is a collector – of items, of people, of information. Her home is a self-curated gallery of these brief obsessions: a bowl overflowing with pearls from Four, a jewelry box filled with gemstone brooches from One, an array of antique lace gloves from Eight. She enjoys the art of discovering beautiful things and orchestrating them into something cohesive and intriguing. However, with so many items, she's found that almost none hold any true value. An antique car from Six she swore she'd fix up, a lamp from Five that she'd planned to ask Link and Nano to rewire -- these mean nothing. For all the abundance in her world, Cress has very little of substance.

She prizes three items: her tribute token -- a gemstone necklace made by her parents to keep her protected and empowered in the arena; an emerald-inlaid dagger gifted to her by Miller Brick; and the blade of kyanite procured from Marble Loam while visiting Slate in Twelve.

There was a fourth, comprised of many parts, thousands of words scribbled across pages and napkins and the corners of books passed between them in bed. Slate's letters, or at least the ones he showed her, all burnt in the fire. Letters she'd never read again.

Heyo! My name is Cress, welcome to my blog ^u^

I'm very much not used to social media so I figured I'd make an ✨introductory post✨ to explain myself

I am a multifandom enjoyer and aspiring game dev, so you'll see plenty of fan art and updates on whatever it is I'm working on at the moment

For now, just enjoy this rough draft of my profile pic (I have no color at the moment so just a sketch for now) - also I am primarily a physical artist as doing art with a mouse is ✨unfun✨ (I had to use that for my blog header so please excuse the shaky text)

Hopefully I'll be able to get myself out there and share what I do with the world :) Looking forward to meeting all of you ^-^

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing: A Genius Shunned by Black Academicians

To begin, I discovered Frances Cress Welsing probably as many of us old enough to remember Tony Brown’s Journal and to my absolute delight during the 1980s I had the honor of performing poetry at Philadelphia events where Cress Welsing was the major speaker. Oh, how I idolized her and learned so very much about my people and myself from listening to her lecture. She was tall, downtown brown, feminine, atop her head a cottony afro and her wit and wisdom had all of us magnetized. I had found a desperately needed role model: a genius Sister Scientist whose fierceness reminded me of the Panthers. She was so lovingly Black and courageous and her brilliance was a unique combination involving psychology, science, sociology and most importantly to me, Black Nationalism. From her I learned so much more about our people and those in authority over us, questions I had been pondering since childhood and especially during my years as a runaway. In the 1990s I attended a few of her New York City talks as I was completing my doctoral studies, and for some reason I just assumed that this incredible expert was still employed at Howard University. Taking that assumption for granted, I was overwhelmed with my own college level studies, childrearing and fighting white racism, so I simply figured she was still at Howard. After all she was a major scholar, with groundbreaking innovative theory that explained a world problem: white supremacy. Cress Welsing had published the highly theoretical and practical Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors (1991) and had all the credentials for tenure. She had brought high level media attention to Howard University, debating and teaching leading White authorities who disparaged Black intellectualism. She had done more to deserve tenure than the regular ivory tower professors married to repetitious book learning, and producing nothing new (which is supposed to be a mandate within academe: to produce new modes and forms of inquiry). In my naivety, I had decided that our dear Dr. Sister Frances Cress Welsing was economically and professional stable at a major HBCU. When I realized that Howard refused to keep Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, among its ranks, it broke my already broken heart, and I again experienced Black on Black betrayal. If White academicians had sanctioned Dr. Cress Welsing, so would the negro lackeys who refused to maintain her. If she had been applauded for espousing euphemisms that extend white supremacy, she’d be at Howard. If she had buck-danced and shuffled or displayed manufactured n/Negro American made behavior, she would have had a regular university paycheck. But that was not how our dear Dr. Frances Cress Welsing carried herself. Instead of cloning herself White, she sang the song of Black redemption: telling us we were at war, which many Black people would like to forget, despite the round –up and constant murders of Black males, (Black females and children) right before our everyday eyes. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing even told us how to win this war, but too many academicians and laity seek White validation and twinness with a people who enslaved, tortured, and raped us for centuries, legally and imm
