Ms. Afrika Abney - Consultant Branding Blog

  Blogging has been a crucial part of my career journey since I started as a consultant at 15. I realized the importance of sharing my insights with a wider audience, leading me to start my own blog in 2021. The act of blogging has significantly enriched my professional life and through this platform, I have the opportunity to explore various subjects related to consulting, while also receiving feedback and engaging in dialogue with my readers. This interaction not only enhances my understanding of the topics I cover but also inspires me to continue evolving as a consultant and a writer, ensuring that my contributions remain relevant and impactful.

     The existence of inaccuracies and misleading information poses a significant barrier to my ability to effectively market myself and my body of work.

   Designed with the intention of fostering a deeper appreciation for abstract art, the Platform of Expression serves as a catalyst for conversation and exploration. “As we reach the end of art appreciation month and the last day of August 2024, it is disheartening to see the continued lack of appreciation for abstract art. Despite its rich history and profound impact on the art world, abstract art often faces criticism and misunderstanding from those who fail to recognize its complexity and beauty. It is crucial that we take the time to delve into the world of abstract art, to understand its significance and appreciate the imagination and emotion that artists pour into their work. Abstract art challenges traditional notions of representation and invites viewers to explore their own interpretations and emotions. It is a form of art that pushes boundaries and defies easy categorization, making it a valuable and dynamic contribution to the art world. By dismissing abstract art as mere ra

  Artistic Solidarity. Digital art created on canvas. August 30, 2024. Afrika Abney “The colors associated with Labor Day are red, white, and blue, symbolizing the patriotic spirit of the holiday. These hues not only reflect the American flag but also evoke a sense of unity and pride among workers across the nation. As a day dedicated to honoring the contributions of laborers, the use of these colors serves to remind us of the values of hard work and solidarity that underpin the American workforce. Regrettably, the ideals of solidarity have not been fully realized, as issues of racism and discrimination continue to persist in various forms within society. Despite efforts to promote unity and equality, these negative forces remain entrenched, hindering progress towards a more inclusive and harmonious community. The ongoing struggle against these societal challenges highlights the need for continued advocacy and action to foster genuine solidarity among diverse groups. Labor Day within t
