teenVogue pairs the two in an conversation where the two talk about self identifying, the complexities of intersectionality and "white feminism."
teenVogue describes Amandla as "one of the new guards of feminism." Her senior project video "Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows" rocked the internet. (If you have not seen it!! It is a must see!!) Acting, music, comic book writing and activism are just a few of the things this young woman has under her belt. Definitely a force to be reckoned with.

The choices this year are great. Maybe afterwards we can share our favorites!!
Although its a challenge, at times it is necessary to marathon some art. Two weekends ago stars aligned and I had a three day marathon of amazing art events.
The first stop on my art filled weekend is the closing reception for Border Cantos - Richard Misrach and Guillermo Galindo at the San Jose Museum of Art. I was fortunate enough to see Guillermo perform earlier this summer, in a far more intimate setting I might add, because the performance for the closing of the show was well attended. Standing room only!
Friday night my girl friends and I found ourselves in the Saratoga Mountains at the Montalvo Arts Center for their #5hourscuplturepopup. It was a night of food trucks, live music, art performances and installation art through out the grounds.
I cannot say it enough, but when ever I come out for one of their events, I have a blast. A night filled with interactive art, performance from spoken word to dance, musical performances all night and amazing food and drinks.
I am still swaying my hips to some of the amazing musical performances from that night. And in particular the closers for the evening, Zakiya Harris and Elephantine. Check out more of Zakiya Harris and Elephantine!
