  • Celebrating Black womanhood in the divine safe space of the ”When We See Us” exhibit at @liljevalchs was such an incredibly humbling experience. Against the backdrop of decades of Black and African art; in conversation with dear friend and activist @melnymu and hosted by the incredible @marcia_harvey_isaksson and @southnord.artspace. Celebrating International Women’s Day this way has filled me with gratitude beyond measure. Thank you for this intimate event and thanks to everyone who came and above all, truly listened 💜🩷 💄 @glammmbyamy 💇🏾‍♀️ @coreradiancestockholm #internationalwomensday #iwd2026 #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #sweden
