Pandemic Mask Mandates

Since the pandemic mask mandates have been issued on March 9, 2020, I have been providing all of my services and work as a consultant online. As a result of the mask mandates, I have revamped all of my services and began branding my overall work and services in 2021.

Some of previous consultant projects since the pandemic began on March 9, 2020 include Annual Personal Essay Contest "Discovering Me..Without You", Inside Job: The Art of Personal Essay Writing (Workshop for Teens), Reconciliation Week, Joy Jones' Double Dutch, Writing Institute for Teens, Teens Authors Talk, Understanding and Overcoming Fatherless Daughter Syndrome, The Power of Poetry in You, Women Are Poetry in Motion Every Day in Every Way, and Kaleidoscope: A Writing Club were just to name a few.

The restraint of the pandemic mask mandates have allowed me to do more creative networking and cancel my meetings with any potential clients because of the risk factors revolved around the pandemic since 2020.

While, wearing the masks are uncomfortable for me, I have had the opportunity to express how I feel about the pandemic mask mandates through various platforms.

This tranquil moment in the atmosphere serves as a precursor to the impending rainfall, which is poised to rejuvenate the landscape. The calmness that envelops the sky acts as a gentle reminder of the continuous cycles inherent in weather patterns.”

Whispers of Color

I enjoy creating my art using vibrant hues of yellow-orange, purple, and magenta coupled with black and navy blue. “The hue of yellow-orange is frequently associated with qualities such as creativity, enthusiasm, and an overarching sense of optimism. This lively color radiates a spirited energy that can stimulate innovative thought and foster a positive perspective on life. The warm undertones of this vibrant shade evoke sensations of joy and vitality, creating a distinctive fusion that promotes both artistic expression and an uplifting attitude.

This intriguing combination fosters a sense of imagination and originality, encouraging individuals to venture into uncharted territories of thought. The rich and vi...

Insightful Discussions

Quote found on the Internet “Eleanor Roosevelt once articulated a profound observation regarding the nature of intellectual discourse. She suggested that the most insightful individuals engage in conversations centered around ideas, exploring concepts that can inspire change and innovation. This perspective emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the pursuit of knowledge, encouraging individuals to elevate their discussions beyond the mundane and to focus on the transformative power of ideas. In contrast, Roosevelt pointed out that those with a more conventional mindset tend to focus their discussions on events. This approach, while still valuable, often limits the scope of conversation to what is happening in the world around us, rather than delving into the underlying principles or philosophies that drive those events. By concentrating on occurrences, average minds may miss the opportunity to analyze the implications and lessons that can be drawn from them, the...

Respect Spectrum

Respect Spectrum. Digital art created on canvas. September 18, 2024. Afrika Abney “The concept of Respect Spectrum encompasses a diverse array of colors, specifically shades of pink, purple, and blue. The Respect Spectrum is a multifaceted concept that incorporates a variety of colors, particularly emphasizing shades of pink, purple, and blue. Each of these colors is imbued with distinct meanings and cultural associations that contribute to the overarching theme of respect. Pink is often seen as a gentle and nurturing color, evoking feelings of compassion and understanding, which can foster an atmosphere of respect in interpersonal relationships. Purple, historically associated with royalty and nobility, conveys a sense of dignity and honor, making it a powerful color in contexts where respect is paramount. Blue, on the other hand, is commonly associated with trust and reliability, qualities that are essential in establishing and maintaining respectful interactions.”

Restful Blue

I woke from my restful sleep several hours ago. I chose various shades of blue using paintapp. This choice was not arbitrary; I aimed to explore the calming and inspiring qualities that different shades of blue can evoke. Restful Blue is a solid blue background designed for creativity. When examining Restful Blue, one can see hints of purple within this shade of blue.
