Me & my art ✨👁
I’m Bella & I’m a Black queer artist. I’m a self published poet and my book Brown Clay is a bestseller. My goal is for my art & book to make an impact on my Black & LGBTQ+ communities! My goal has always been to make art centered on self love and liberation and for people to read my words and feel inspired, empowered, and whole.

People not from commonwealth realms don’t get it. we’ve spent our entire lives (multiple generations of lives) being told that the only possible way out of british rule is the death of elizabeth. There are fourteen countries outside of the UK who have this noncitizen making the final say in all their countries decisions. Every time someone talks of a republic we get a sigh and a “people love liz too much, maybe when she dies…” like it’s a nebulous period but now it’s right in front of us. It’s within reach. My generation could finally be the one that sees independence from the British.

Hi all!
My friend is Ojibwe and a dedicated Indigenous researcher and activist. She recently has discovered a number of Ojibwe ponies (also known as the Lac La Croix pony) for sale by a white-owned farm.
This is really important because these ponies are very important to the Ojibwe – these ponies are also the only known Indigenous-developed breed of horse in Canada, and there are only 200 left in the world.

The fact that there are 200 left at all is incredible at all, because in 1977, Canada took the last known four ponies away to be destroyed, and they were rescued by an Ojibwe man living in Minnesota.
Read more about the history here.
My friend is arranging to have five of these horses brought back home to the Ojibwe, and her elders are already planning a welcome ceremony for these horses. If anyone has anything to spare, it would be a huge help to bring them home.
Donate here!
Alternately, you can get the horses a gift from their wishlist!
some sketch commissions i’ve been doing in the past months on my kofi! ✨
