Tanit: a for home, 24x18, watercolor, india ink, acrylic, colored pencil, 2026

The Numidian goddess of fertility, the home, prosperity, family, and the moon, Tanit came to the Amazigh world through the Phoenicians and was the chief goddess of Carthage and Numidia, alongside her husband, Baal Hammon, god of crops, weather, fertility and war. Some trace Tanit's arc through ancient religions such as Astarte, Athena, Venus and Juno, while Ammon was Cronus, Zeus, Jupiter and Saturn. These both became Mary and her son Jesus in modern Christianity.

Tanit is found on homes in cities, towns and villages of all kinds throughout Tamazgha, indicating a Muslim, Jewish, or Christian house. Here, Tanit is replete with a community of homes, palm trees (prosperity), bees (community), eyes of god, a weaving comb (creativity) , and an ox (endurance). Prickly pears (good things are worth the trouble) on her arms, olive trees (Tamazgha) above her with a thunderbolt (willpower), a wheat stalk (generations), a millipede (flexibility), a bird (godliness), a snake (regeneration), fish and lizard bones (medicine, magic, & holiness).

Yaz, the Free People and the Olive Tree

Yaz is the last letter of the Tifinagh alphabet. Yaz also represents the free Amazigh (person, woman, man; singular), the symbol of all Imazighen (people, women, men; plural), representing our indigenous rights to freedom, agency and self determination. It can be found on the Amazigh and Kabyle flag, as well as many other Imazighen tribal flags.

The Kabyle, and other tribes of Imazighen across Tamazgha, are the ancient keepers and carers of olive trees. Olives and olive oil are the very elixir of life that forms the basis of cooking throughout North Africa and SW Asia. This symbol also represents the land and the generations of those who were living there as its keepers. The ancestors are the base of the trunk, the branches are the living elders, and the olives represent the children, the future keepers of all these olive trees planted on mountain and hillsides, valleys, and fields. The olive tree also represents the entire land of Tamazgha and all the Indigenous tribes from its lands, from Morocco to Egypt down to Mauritania, Mali, Niger and Chad.

Gung hay fat choy!

Welcome to the Year of the Red Fire Horse! After a year of quiet solitude, staying close to home, taking stock, planning, and shedding what is no longer needed in the year of the Green Wood Snake, we are in a year of action, fast shifts, plans falling apart and coming together in the blink of an eye, and being able to quickly regain your footing.

This visual spell features a horse with Amazigh designs to bring you patience, tenacity, flexibility, and the will to overcome. I included two hamsa for double protection, an eye of Tanit and a star for light to guide us through the unknown under her protection, a snail for patience, thunder for sheer strength of will, the fly for vitality and generations, grains for the spark of life and growth, and a ram for being brave and facing all challenges head on.

A favorite metaphor from this week's summit, swept under the rug with the rug and broom being extra friendly.

Captured during a Q&A conversation with and about , an Emmy award winning short film about Black maternal and infant mortality rates being the highest of all racial groups. Yet Black folks account for 14.2% of the population according to the last census. Why and how is this even possible and what are people doing to change this?!

Science says families and babies have better health and developmental outcomes when birth parents are present from the time of conception. This can look many ways, depending on the relationship of the parents. But regardless of what it looks like, it is possible to include fathers for the good of the child. This is the work of 4Kira4Moms and many other community based organizations and I am proud to contribute to this message with .

Lines lines lines yea!

How do see the world? I know I cannot trust my eyes at first view because I notice lines and shapes that everything makes first, not details. I walked out to get a ride to the hotel, found a spot to wait and looked up to see this glorious maze of perspective lines. I love the arrow head on the left of the image, the lines of the roof and the shadow lines of the pillars.

This was a moment of deeply enjoying the accidental beauty of what humans created paired with Earth's superstar, the sun.

It is always a pleasure to work with the Simmons Center for Global Chicago because I learn so much that resets the aperture on my world view and understanding.

After spending time listening to the Simmons community, I felt a renewed sense of hope and purpose for the International Development community. To get through these turbulent times, what matters is community, connection, idea exchange, and flipping what we know today on its head in innovative ways.

Download the report to view some of the great visuals I got to create for this very much needed community symposium.
