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.
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. 👑

International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month feels personal to me.
I’m a proud girls’ girl! Always have been, always will be. I believe in cheering for women in rooms they fought to enter, celebrating their wins like they’re my own, and standing beside them when the world tries to make them smaller.
There’s nothing more powerful than women who support women. No competition. Just collaboration. No tearing each other down. Just strength, loyalty, and lifting each other higher.
Here’s to the women who paved the way, the women walking beside me, and the ones still finding their voice.
We rise together. Always. 💕
On September 5, 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered the keynote address at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China.
Remembering Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a feminist trailblazer who faced gender discrimination as she pursued her academic goals, fearlessly advocated for women’s rights, and inspired generations of women to break gender barriers, on what would have been her 92nd birthday. Ginsburg made history as the second woman—and first Jewish woman—to serve on the SCOTUS.
