❤ in Baltimore at the Charm City Kitty Club

See my flags represent my struggle. My right to be here. I will never be bullied into thinking that I can’t take ownership to that which my ancestors fought. They want us scared, shuttering every time we see it. Must live in a world all their own. In fact my black and mixed race ancestors fought on all sides, served in all facets. History never had to be rewritten in this case. I honor these flags because I can. They tell me I can’t I say I can. I say make art with these flags, reclaim yo birth rights!!!!! Laugh in the face of those who try to oppress you.

I’ve thought this way for so long. Created my own reclaiming of this and the American flag. His fame got the point across more quickly than I, but we on the the same shit nonetheless! Reclaim that shit! -Girlrillavintage

“All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up.”
— James Baldwin
