Blackstack on Substack! Sometimes, you have to gatekeep.
THE BLK PRSPCTV, FORMERLY KNOWN AS BLK ART BITES, has undergone some changes. I loved posting artwork daily, but I got burnt out, and it was no longer fun. So, I decided to revamp my Substack and only post three times a week. This will allow me to do more writing and show my personality (my mom thinks I’m funny, lol). It will also allow for collaboration opportunities (more to come).
In conclusion,
Thank you for joining me for this week’s Creative Cravings. Remember, THE BLK PRSPCTV, FORMERLY KNOWN AS BLK ART BITES, celebrates Black creativity. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories and insights into Black creativity.
Until next time,
Stay bold, stay brilliant, and remember, as Jay-Z says, You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me. I appreciate that!
