African American Fabrics: Skin Deep Beauty

When you think of beauty, do you allow for a deeply felt consciousness of your own beauty? Do you explore your heartfelt inner being for a deeper exploration of beauty?

Lately, I've allowed myself to truly explore the aesthetic of African American culture-- the beauty of the what it means to be an American American. I've asked myself how is it that I connect to my culture and it's history. Have a compartmentalized  my own identity? Am I afraid to explore creatively what is seen as sadness and harsh? Should I not confront truths?
In asking these questions, I've come to realize I am not exploring my truest creative self.

A Self that embraces the "All of My Being".

2013 brings much more of this exploration.  I am interesting in hearing from my followers.

What have you planned for 2013 in the area of self discovery?
