Happy Belated Juneteenth
If you’re from the U.S., have you celebrated Juneteenth before? If you are from elsewhere in the world, are there similar celebrations of liberation in your area?
Yes, it is a tradition in my household, as well as Black Solidarity Day or Kwanzaa. All humans have celebrations of freedom cause all humans at some point were , or or will be enslaved by other... humans. I will add one thing. Freedom is important, but not all people's freedom is imagined the same. To restate, the assumption from many is that two people imagine each other free the same way, all to often that isn't true. It isn't is everybody free as much as, can everybody be free at the same time. It sounds obvious, but ... it usually isn't.
In what ways do you express your heritage or your culture’s history through art?
In my writing I wrote two story collections based on Black Myths .

Happy Belated Solstice
May all be cool in the northern hemisphere summer, may all be warm in the southern hemisphere winter. A solstice is when the a pole is angled most toward the sun, thus causing the effect of the sun standing still. Another way of saying it, is the ecliptic , or axis based on the equator of the earth has the largest angle distance to a line from the sun center to the earth.

A Question Of Art
"What type of art do you want to learn/get better at making?"
The easiest or most honest answer is all art. I have written poetry or other forms of literature for most of my life and it is just a process, no matter the awards or adulations offline or online. To my graphic work the same.
Now, to answer your question. I need to learn or become more comfortable or suitable with digital art. Deviantart has great digital art tutorials from various members I have on a list to use one day. Currently, I am working on learning + improving modeling art. It is 2d like holograms not volumetric displays< the holodeck of star trek>. In a literature sense, in terms of work I am less experienced with, I am doing the July Jubilee stageplay contest and for my Black Games Elite group I will be working in the second half of the year on a literature based game.
I end with a simple message to any artists who may read my words. Be comfortable with what you are most comfortable in creating. If you like making stick figure comics, and never seem enthused to do anything else, then keep making stick figure comics. No shame exists in creating where you are happy. If, you feel you want to create in a less experienced field, remember, you are new there. All fields of art have tons of tutorials or guides or rules, but, if you have little experience respect that truth and be busy creating over technique. I have only done a few models and I know my technique as I create them can improve but at this stage I need to focus on creating and learning where I will like to create in the medium. So, do likewise to places you are new too. If you never wrote a poem before, finish the poem first and adjust it if you want, but focus on writing more poetry than appeasing the many rules on poetry.
