Artivism has always been at the heart of AAPF’s work because art has always been a tool for resistance. That is why this #womenshistorymonth we want to celebrate and uplift six Black women artivists whose work merges creativity with activism, pushing boundaries and reimagining what’s possible.

#WCW: A’ja Wilson 💐

Bam! Today’s #WCW goes to the one and only A’ja Wilson. Iconic doesn’t even begin to cover it. From dominating the paint to redefining what leadership looks like on and off the court, she continues to set the standard every time she steps onto the floor.

What makes A’ja truly special isn’t just the accolades, the MVP performances, or the championships. It’s the way she carries herself; with humility, grace, and an unwavering commitment to lifting others up. She leads with heart, represents the game with pride, and reminds everyone watching that greatness and kindness can absolutely exist in the same person.

A’ja Wilson is proof that you can be powerful and humble, fierce and compassionate, all at once. The game is better because she’s in it, and so are the people who look up to her.

Keep shining, Queen. 👑

Ella Bully-Cummings

Black History Month is a time to recognize individuals whose leadership, resilience, and service have shaped communities in meaningful ways. Ella Bully-Cummings stands out as a powerful example of dedication to public safety, civic leadership, and progress.

Best known for her historic role as Detroit’s first female police chief, Bully-Cummings built a career defined by professionalism, accountability, and community engagement. Rising through the ranks of law enforcement required not only expertise but persistence. especially as a Black woman navigating spaces where representation was limited. Her leadership helped modernize policing practices while emphasizing trust between officers and the communities they serve.

Beyond her professional milestones, her story reflects broader themes central to Black history: perseverance, barrier-breaking achievement, and commitment to service. Leaders like Bully-Cummings remind us that progress often comes from those willing to challenge expectations and lead with integrity.

As we celebrate Black History Month, honoring figures such as Ella Bully-Cummings encourages reflection on how leadership, courage, and public service continue to shape stronger, more inclusive communities.

Chapter 35: the year of the Lioness ♒️

For 35 years my Momma has summoned her strength to support me through all of life’s chaotic and challenging moments. She taught me strength, perseverance, and how to move through life’s fragile chapters with courage. She taught me my people-pleasing era is over. That sometimes you have to be “selfish” to protect your peace, preserve your mental stability, and stand firm in who you are.

She shaped me into a fierce lioness: resilient, protective, and unafraid to claim my space. Focused and locked in. Going after everything that I deserve.

So please, don’t tell me happy birthday. Thank my Momma for giving me life. Because without her, there is no me. My birthday will always be dedicated to you Mommy. I love you.

A hit dog will holler.
