Royal (@rylthms) is an artist and creator based in Washington, DC. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For this artwork, Royal was inspired by family and community: “My own loved ones and communities inspired this work. With this piece I wanted to emphasize the longevity of Black Joy, and how throughout our ancestral history we were able to still find joy and laughter in our daily lives. Black Joy is not a new concept, and it will never be fully stripped away from us.”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Visit our stories to hear more from Royal, and keep an eye out this month as we highlight more All Stars who share our ultimate goal of racial equality for the Black community.」2月2日 1時44分
