BlackIssuesISSUES Face Mask Portrait - GOR-192416-cE20

Kanene Ayo Holder standing on newly painted Black Lives Matter in large yellow letters in front of Trump Towers. BlackIssuesISSUES is Blackness on spin cycle- wringing out the hashtags inspired by senseless killings, economic despair, marginalization and other ISSUES plaguing Blackness. If only it were that simple.

BlackIssuesISSUES is Blackness on spin cycle- wringing out the hashtags inspired by senseless killings, economic despair, marginalization and other ISSUES plaguing Blackness. If only it were that simple.

Part talk show, part kiki, part erudite bitch fest masquerading as a town hall with all the king’s horses and king’s men trying to put Blackness Black together again, BlackIssuesISSUES is an invitation for an interracial (yes Whites are welcomed!!), intergenerational, intersectional conversation about race.The ISSUES,solutions and possibilities beyond the pain, shame and guilt.

BlackIssuesISSUES is as much a serenade and celebration of Blackness as it is an indictment of a system and society that is so toxic, it renders Blackness (that once labored on this land) a burden. Instead of centering whiteness,
BlackIssuesISSUES forces us to reckon with identity politics through its anti-climatic and deeply flawed heroine ReBLACKa Finch who flounders her Blackness in profound ways. ReBLACKa’s atrociously fake British accent and grandiose sense of self, finds her attempting to transcend the Blackness she simultaneous covets when convenient.

Editor-at-Large of a magazine called BlackIssuesISSUES, that doesn’t exist, ReBLACKa, like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland frenetically races to win the race war replete in tutus and ruffles "I'm on deadline, I'm on deadline".

ReBLACKa Finch is like Andy Warhol meets Ali G if they were allowed to disrupt anti-Blackness with a purple parasol.
