Took me six months to say, feel, and do some things: Summer/Fall MIA explained

Last time I wrote here on thecurlyflower.com was in June 2020. I had a plan I wanted to stick to, don't get me wrong.

Summer’s colors and emotions pop out in UMI’s “Introspection”

"Introspection" is her second video project, followed by the EP called "Love Language".

Being the new and fresh Black Carrie Bradshaw: a conversation with Jamé Jackson

Dear readers, We don't need only and exclusively social protests, political movements or even a whole month to remind us what a wonderful thing is having a Black heritage.
