“Targets Variegated” by @artyouhungry🚦 “The “Targets Variegated” handembroidery series is complete! 🚦This is my final series @uoftampa @utampaartdept as I have officially graduated.” “This hand embroidered series highlights women and girls of different ages. 
This series gives power back to these victims, emphasizing the importance of women and girls having control over their bodies.” “The side profile and focal point of the eye for each target, reassures the viewer that each figure is demanding respect.” “This contrasts with my previous series where the target symbolism is stamped on/ around the front facing images of young girls.” “With a traffic light being such one of the most important sources of control and authority, I thought I would use this as inspiration for the color symbolism in this series. The red border on each circular canvases puts these victims at the same level of significance regardless of their age and is a call of action to STOP sexual abuse and sex trafficking of women and girls.” #SupportBlackArt #artyouhungry

Repost from @black_history_buff_777 • Ever heard of the unfortunate story of Martinsville Seven? Read this!⁠ ⁠ The Martinsville Seven were a group of Black men executed in 1951 after being convicted of raping a white woman. ⁠ ⁠ On the evening of January 8, 1949, Ruby Stroud Floyd accused 13 black men of raping her while she passed through a Black neighborhood in Martinsville, Virginia. These accused men who had no real criminal history soon became known as the Martinsville Seven. Most of the men were between 18 and 20 years old and worked as laborers in small-scale furniture factories and warehouses. At age 37, World War II veteran Francis DeSales Grayson was the oldest of the defendants. ⁠ ⁠ Not all of the defendants were able to read the confessions they signed, and none of them had a lawyer with them as they were questioned. Under threats that they would be released to a lynch mob, each confessed to involvement in the rape. ⁠ ⁠ By early 1951, legal strategies to save the Martinsville Seven were exhausted and the NAACP turned towards a public relations campaign. Despite campaigns, editorials, and local vigils, newly-installed Virginia Governor John S. Battle refused clemency. ⁠ ⁠ After a succession of perfunctory trials before all-white, all-male juries, each was convicted and sentenced to death. They were executed in 1951 in the largest mass execution for rape in U.S. history.⁠ ⁠ On August 31, 2021, the state of Virginia granted posthumous pardons to all seven men, 70 years after their deaths.⁠ ⁠ tag someone that needs to read this!⁠ ⁠ Discover more @blackhistorybuff⁠ Follow @blackhistorybuff⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #endsexualassault #webelievesurvivors #victimblaming #ibelieveyou #blackkings #blackmanmagic #blackpeople #blackmensmiling #darkskinmen #blackrelationships #blackmenmatter #blackmenkillingit #blackfamily #standinsolidarity #nojustice #useyourprivilege #blackarchives #movement4blacklives #endwhitesupremacy #blacklivesmattermovement #racismisavirus #systemicoppression #reparations #antiblackracism #historychannel #historyfacts⁠ #blackhistorymonth #365daysofblackhistory #blackhistorymatters #blackhistoryfacts https://www.instagram.com/p/CYZIhBErAeT/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's never the victims fault. Share this post and help spread awareness!

[hear-what-she-said]

Today I celebrate the birthday of #MeToo movement founder, Tarana Burke, born September 12, 1973

In this TED Talk, I can hear the weary in her voice and feel it in her body language. She talks of being numb from recent events at the time, specifically the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, despite much evidence and gut-wrenching testimony from women who had nothing to gain from speaking up.

“Numbness isn’t always absence of feelings…sometimes it’s an accumulation of feelings.”

I remember feeling the same way. For me, it’s an accumulation of feelings so heavy that it sometimes feels like I can’t move, can’t speak, can’t breathe.

I also appreciate her clarification of the original intention of the Me Too movement. It is meant to give voice for all sexual assault survivors and is not a witch hunt directed at men. She says 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually assaulted every year.

It’s time to reclaim the conversation and stop this cycle of abuse! I vow to continue to use my voice to help others find theirs and keep supporting those who have the courage to speak up and keep fighting.

If you or someone you know is suffering in silence, there are often resources offered at no charge by nonprofits at the local level. For immediate help, RAINN (link below) offers hotline support, as well as legal assistance to bring offenders to justice.

No matter what you did or didn’t do, you are not the reason that it happened.

i.amresilient Don’t judge someone for not leaving an unhealthy relationship, there are many reasons why they might still be in the relationship. It may not be the most ideal situation but it also might be the safest or best option.
