Always making
Hola Galeras,
How goes it?
I’m ok, just eating and walking and painting. Wish my car was working but it is what it is. The food today was amazing.
The steps were short but worked really well.
Also because of the car thing I’m using the metro to get around.
So is life I guess.
It’ll all work out.
I found my peace in the middle of the night. Deep makings in the sleeping world. My peace made of quiet.
Hola galeras,
Hope all is well.
Have 1 billion ideas on what I was gonna eat. So say look through my recipe book. I found this fun recipe that I do every once in a while that is an egg sando. 
Hola galeras,
Mochi says “hi”.
I’m going to see my Dad today but I wanted to give you the week end roundup.
A nice live show.
Working on the fine details shorts.
The hearts called out to me.
I’ve had a hard time in the last few years sharing my paintings online. I do it with my Patrons but I don’t feel like I owe it to the internet anymore. I love showing people in real life. Gotta do more shows.
Here is an abstract satiate.
Next week we do it again.
Hola galeras,
Working on being a better human. Always making art.
It was a full week Galeras. How goes it?
Made a few meals with my Father in law. It was fun and interesting to learn some new techniques in the kitchen.
The painting is done and all the letters are there. 😂
😉 if you know you know.
Mostly a busy time but it’s starting to calm down.
Cradling Life
Intro.
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth, development, and bonding for newborns and their families. However, for Black babies and their families, this period can be fraught with unique challenges and disparities. Systemic racism, socioeconomic factors, and inadequate access to healthcare can all impact the health and well-being of Black babies. Postnatal support for Black babies and their families address these disparities.
The Alarming Reality:
Black infants are disproportionately affected by poor birth outcomes, including higher rates of:
These disparities are not solely the result of individual choices or behaviors, but rather are influenced by systemic factors such as:
The Importance of Postnatal Support:
Postnatal support is critical for ensuring the health and well-being of newborns and their families. This support can include:
For Black families, postnatal support can be particularly vital in addressing the unique challenges they face. By providing targeted support and resources, we can help mitigate the effects of systemic racism and promote better health outcomes for Black babies.
Addressing Disparities:
To address the disparities in postnatal support for Black babies and their families, we must take a multifaceted approach. This includes:
Conclusion:
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth and development for newborns and their families. For Black babies and their families, this period can be marked by unique challenges and disparities. By providing targeted postnatal support and addressing systemic disparities, we can promote better health outcomes for Black babies and support the well-being of their families. It’s time for us to cradle life and ensure that all families have the support they need to thrive.
I read a few articles and had spellcheck jazz it up.
The point of this painting for me is that I want to see the next generations enjoy my art of themselves. Something has to give.
Hola Galeras,
Moving the last bits out. Making some ink too. Big painter on the way.
Always moving forwards.
Hola galeras,
How goes it? What’s new?
I’m but a little exhausted. Lots of art and a few ideas to voice. Let’s chat.
I was planning on making something this week and this face stuck with me.
The thing is at first it was really flattering. This algorithm finds you so interesting that it would like to help you manage your career to be better and more profitable then you realize they’re just an answer to everyone.. The bitterness has sat in. 😂👎🏾
I just really love Miles Davis. Somewhere in my 20s I discovered jazz albums and they have stuck with me the rest of my life.. Miles is one of the first albums I ever heard.
I hope the week has been nice to you. It has been OK for me, but it is only gonna get better from this day forward.
Lastly, I just want everyone to know it’s OK to be sad right now or angry, but don’t stay with that feeling for too long. We are creative. We are amazing and we are intelligent, so we’re gonna figure out a way to do some thing interesting something smart And something incredible.
I believe in you because you believe in me and so we’re both real.
