Bessie Springfield broke barriers in the 1930s and ’40s, making eight “gypsy tours” across the United States on her Harley-Davidson... and she made a cameo in

Ryan Coogler is just the second director in history and first solo filmmaker to have two consecutive films open above $180 million.
He is Black History in the making.

I remember my late mother who worked as a computer programmer/analyst from the 1970s to 1990s. Before that she helped desegregate Centre College and majored in Philosophy. She was brilliant. I did not know any Black women doing this type of work and of course it rubbed off on me.

DMX was my age. He spoke often of past trauma and the impossible challenge of overcoming it on his own. He lost that war but managed to establish his legacy before the addiction took him out.
He will be missed.

It's my late mother's birthday. She was a pioneer computer programmer and she passed some of that on to her artist daughter.
She was one of the first black students to attend Centre College and her name is on the history page of their website.
Happy Birthday, Mama.

People at MIT Media Lab took that idea of the DJs ‘scratching’ and created Scratch [a block-based visual programming language]. Now kids all over the world use Scratch, but no one makes the connections back to DJ’ing...

I just ended a call with the Smithsonian curator and we agreed to me making 10+1 machine learning collab portraits for display in the 2021 exhibition. One will be a self-portrait. 😃
The theme is the Future... and I'm excited!

What I love about the Rosies are how diverse they are: each one is a different woman. On the other hand they are all strong, sassy, and direct... like ME. 🙂
It's my favorite series and I'm happy to exhibit them in March, which is Women's History Month.

MoCADA wasn't going to officially announce the Greg Tate mural until Monday but apparently the public beat them to it.
I used to live in this neighborhood, so I'm especially happy to see my art up on a wall there, right off Fulton Street!

Clarence Williams III was that dude. He was in so many movies I enjoyed and his "the sheeeeeit" from "Tales from the Hood" will forever be burned in my memory. May he RIP.

I'm working on a wearable technology project that combines Sun Ra and J Dilla. Basically, you can make beats/sounds by touching the circles to trigger a MIDI controller.

I'm ending Women's History Month with this photo of me and my self-portrait created using AI. Having my work on display at the Smithsonian was something I never imagined happening. It nearly overshadowed the publication of my first full-length book (not quite).

Scratch programming language is popular among teachers and students but no one talks about the hip-hop connection. Today, I displayed a photo of Grandmaster Flash, told the attendees that since hip-hop turned 47 this week I would talk about the link with computer science.

Fourth-grade teacher Eva Mireles was killed along with at least 19 children in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. I'm sorry they had to lose their lives, to be gunned down in a place that was supposed to be safe.
May Ms. Mireles and the many others RIP.

"Gregory Stephen Tate was an American writer, musician, and producer. He focused particularly on African-American music and culture, helping to establish hip-hop as a genre worthy of music criticism."
I did a portrait in honor of Greg and now it's an outdoor mural in Brooklyn.

In 1964 my mother, Sharon Gill Gaskins, was one of 3 Black students who desegregated Centre College.
In this photo my mother presented her paper (after it being deemed the best in KY) at the Phi Sigma Tau convention.
Monday will mark the 5th year of her passing.

No one is saying BP is just for black people. This is about representation and the lack of it historically. This black folks time to celebrate something that hasn't happened... ever. You're just going to have to accept that.

One of my biggest milestones was being published and by MIT Press, no less! The art on the cover is by me, using machine learning and the subject is a former student.
