Today I'm appreciating Mickalene Thomas' painting Le déjeuner sur l’herbe: Les trois femmes noires, which you can see today at the Seattle Art Museum. It's not as sparkly in photos, but I think you get the... picture. https://www.mickalenethomas.com/

There's an interview on the great podcast Unreserved with the amazing Buffy Sainte-Marie about Medicine Songs, her new album of activist music. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcasts/current-affairs-information/unreserved/index.html
