found inspiration in DC

Hi Everyone!
Instead of bugging you all as usual with emails, I decided to post my share with you on our blog. I just hope everyone remembers to use it...

Two weeks ago, I spent an inspiring day in DC, exploring amazing spaces of great musuems (all of which are free). There were several highlights, but I'm gonna focus since you all have the attention span of teenagers ;)

There's a hip hop exhibition called "Recognize" at the National Portrait Gallery-- which is where I read this poem by Nikki Giovanni in an installation she did with the artist Shinique Smith.

Scroll down to read the poem.
These are definitely words to remember when times get tough.

Big love to you all,
Nadia.
