What Kehinde Talking About?

Making and Taking Space to Be Free: On Solange Knowles’ A Seat At the Table

September 30, 2016

Listen *insert Black girl hand clap*

Today Solange Knowles dropped A Seat At The Table 

An album

So Black

So woman

So beautiful

So brutal

So painful

So comforting

So broken

So whole

All at the same damn time.

And much like her sister’s masterpiece earlier this year, I’m gonna take some time to sit with it before I write about it in-depth but I needed y’all to know that this album, and accompanying digital book— is life. Make it part of yours.

In the meantime, if you must read before you listen, here are a couple of conversations with Solange herself.

Solange Interview with W Magazine-Tavi Gevinson 

A Seat With Us: A Conversation Between Solange Knowles, Mrs. Tina Lawson, & Judnick Mayard

I told y’all 2016 was the Year of the Black Girl. 2017 looking like ours, too. We just gon’ grab the next few decades. We ain’t asking.

When it comes to a peaceful aesthetic, one of these kids is doing the wrong thing. With acrylic storage, things that aren’t color coded can start to feel visually overwhelming. A room full of the bottom right corner can literally make some folks feel more stressed (it’s me, I’m folks). A bunch of the storage was starting to look like that because I buy too much shit. Anyway, a quick purge of products I’m not using and delegating anything that didn’t coordinate to hidden storage instantly made a difference (I wish I’d taken a pic before I started). It might seem hella extra to some folks but nothing is too extra for my peace of mind. Swipe for the update. What are some extra steps you take to keep your peace in your home? #homeorganization #homedecor #storage #bodybytph #acrylicstorage #beautyroom
