It's your girl Shameless Maya and today we're going to do something a little bit different.
It's Black History Month and we're going to get into art, self expression,
all of that jazz, so stick with me.
Haha. Grace Jones, I love her.
All of this, the pride, the joy, the excitement, and her costume.
This is all dreaming and imagination.
For me shameless meant not being ashamed to be yourself.
It's been a journey and I realize how much shame and fear hold us as people back and
it stifles creativity and just the ability to play and have fun.
I feel like someone, like a Nina Simone, who just wants to raise the bar.
She's constantly trying to push that comfort zone.
She now has a platform and a voice and what is she going to do sing the same jingle that
the listeners wanna hear or is she going to use her voice to really affect change?
And I think that's the struggle that artists deal with - doing what people want you to do
versus doing what you feel is right and what you need to do.
O, Kara Walker, to me this just screams dream big.
It's so massive and she just allowed her vision to just be that expansive and I feel
like as we as people, artists, students of life just remember to think big, take the
limits off what you think is possible and be this big, fill a warehouse, you'll shock
yourself a what you can truly accomplish.
Black History is a moment for us to tell our story.
I feel like we were deleted from textbooks.
I feel like our story was stripped from us.
We weren't allowed to write.
We weren't allowed to read and now this is our time to tell our stories that haven't been told
and I'm so passionate about seeing more of those in things that are accessible,
like television, like movies because we're constantly looking out to look back in and
if we don't see those stories, if we don't hear them we lose a sense of our identity.
And in order to know where you're going, you have to know where you came from.
Thank you guys for hanging out with myself and Google Arts and Culture celebrating Black
History month and make sure you guys tune in and watch the rest of the amazing, fabulous,
fierce videos.
