Today's #oneblood moment is
…brought to you by the letter F, as in fire.
Today I blazed on a rooftop with Idris Alba, John Forte, Taye Diggs, and Leon. They spoke in Wolof for over an hour as they discussed a plan to forcibly remove their inept president.

If you are not familiar with Raquel, get there. She is the founder of DOPE SWAN and several other award winning Cultural Arts and...
