Shockwaves of the diaspora reverberate from the crucible of the South Bronx
Shockwaves of sacred synergy permeate the colors and textures of your creations
You are a sorceress of karmic chemistry—a mistress of blood memory
You channel ancestral power into vibrant accents and manifestations of the divine
The boombox that animated the dawn of hip hop becomes a regal accessory
The sacred eye of destiny reflects radiant light—yearning for a path through apocalypse
I imagine the epic contortions of breakdancers defying gravity and inventing a new art form
I imagine murals of percussive graffiti exploding as a language of self-assertion and rebellion
These powerful emblems are conduits for our spirit animals
They are raw material for shadow workers and practitioners of snake magic
These creations are works of genius—simultaneously ancestral and profoundly visionary
They are dope—they are sacred—and they are fly
