Going into the new week like 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ___ #Repost @jejunemag --- #COVER - The Wellness Of #Sustainability #HMUA: Asha Smith 👤: @whatgibbs 📝: @kirabucca “...We talk about #sustainable improvements to our lives, but one of my favorite is #fashion. Fashion is notorious for being very wasteful, but it doesn’t have to be! There is an ever increasing array of designers who are eco-friendly and amazing! But while I feel people are starting to notice this, we are not talking as much about one part of fashion that can also be sustainable - #vegan shoes! So, I thought, what would be a better way to show off some amazing sustainable shoe brands than on a contortionist! Side note: Victoria Gibbs doesn’t think she is a contortionist, but if she isn’t she is certainly up there for me. If you can put your feet over your head and put them on the ground, then I’m convinced you are a contortionist! On addition to showing off amazing shoes in a cool way, Victoria talks with us about health, wellness, being very bendy, and her work with Lupus.” To learn more about Victoria, please read our exclusive interview in Issue 30.

Just letting the whole world know that my best friend from college has a new book that was mentioned in the New York Times today. Just sharing the #BlackGirlMagic You are so very welcome. _____ _____ NYTimes: A Cab Driver Who Also Ferries Souls and Ghosts? Just Another Day on the Job.  https://nyti.ms/2QhF1N3  "By Tochi Onyebuchi March 18, 2021 CREATURES OF PASSAGE By Morowa Yejidé . Mythic language will forever find a home in the Black American experience. Jail is the shadowed and forgotten realm to which mere chance can consign you. Jazz is Prometheus bringing fire to humans. The Great Migrations are Old Testament journeys, a rights-affirming Supreme Court case a New Testament parable. So myth is the tone of Morowa Yejidé’s second novel, “Creatures of Passage,” a modern-day fable about the fight for the soul of a boy who witnesses, and struggles to make sense of, an act of molestation at school. . In “Creatures of Passage,” a cosmic lexicon describes mundane, earthbound life. In Yejidé’s hands, the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C., becomes the realm of Anacostia. The protagonist, Nephthys Kinwell, is, in one light, an alcoholic taxi driver, and, in another, a Stygian ferrywoman haunted by the violent death of her twin brother, Osiris. Rising fog announces her shifts and while she shuttles passengers to and from physical destinations, she is really shuttling them through emotional states, ferrying the soul as much as the body, all while the ghost of a murdered white woman passes the time in her trunk." #MorowaYejide #Authoress (at Worldwide) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMllnHxA904/?igshid=us3jcoc93cku

#Repost @jejunemag @ --- #COVER - The Wellness Of Sustainability 👤: @whatgibbs 📝: @kirabucca “Thanks to ballet I’ve always had innate flexibility, however, over the last two years is when I have really begun to tap into deeper spinal #flexibility. Trying new things and experiencing deeper levels of flexibility truly excites me and I now work weekly with a contortion teacher, Sam Tenen. Mind you, contortion is an art form unlike any other and while I would never consider myself a #contortionist, my weekly practice has certainly deepened my flexibility in a way that I never would have imagined. It’s actually very exciting to watch my progression.” To learn more about Victoria, please read our exclusive interview below.
