About GirlrillaVintage the Blog

PEACE! I’m Gracie Berry, a Black-Afrikan, queer, cis-woman, community root-healer/educator, multi-dimensional creative, womanist and owner of GirlrillaVintage. As a griot, its important to the integrity of my work that I share my life’s experiences and messages in a ways that honors my ancestors and comes from an Afro-diasporic centered view point before any of the margins. Showcasing my art, activism, autochthonous Afrikan-spirit, my story, vintage, words. Community roothealer. Here to love and liberate my people. I founded GirlrillaVintage in 2010, an Afrikan Roots & Empowerment Organization that shares Afrikan cultural diaspora content, events, and perspectives through the offerings of education, expressive arts, spirituality, vintage aesthetic, and workshops. A creative platform that uplifts Black and Brown communities, lineages, narratives, and stories, and uses compassion and creative problem solving to empower and reawaken possibility in and around my community.

Trigger Warning Hate Crime Against Trans Folk  Video

Watch video here: http://flyvidz.com/2-trannies-get-into-a-fight-with-2-guys-on-atl-marta-warning-must-be-18-years-or-older-to-view/

At the very least we as homosexuals deserve
safety. Watching this makes me so sad and angry for my transgender
allies. They have every right to take up space on this planet. Their
safety is in a constant state of compromise. This healing takes a people
process. I’m sickened by this black on black hetero-normative crime.
And I loathe the caption of this video, ugh! It’s
like the hate in these folks hearts are festered over by sores! To
violently attack these people with no regard and to seek to blame these
women, and to throw elbows to try and ‘correct them’. I keep thinking
that world done change and I suppose it has-just has so many more steps
to go. -Gracie
