"You deserve to be uplifted and held."
And they're stunningly gorgeous too, yeah. So let's celebrate the amazingness that is Indya, shall we?
Indya said, "As a talent, I’ve seen you grow for over 6+ years. Just like pottery — you created yourself into a beautiful mold. The shapes and patterns you chose for yourself, the fine details you took your time in carving...you are beautiful, sturdy, solid, and you hold only precious and beautiful things. The way you are unlike pottery, you are flexible, expansive, dynamic in the shiftings of your form as you are ever growing...this shines through in your creative abilities as an artist, a performer, and one of the most graceful humans I’ve ever known. Congratulations lady. Hold on tight! It is time to collect your flowers — wait, no, you ARE the flowers 💐 . #POSEFX"
He created a company called Everything's Local that fosters community through their cozy shirts-for-good.
From their website: "Each @imwearinglocal T-shirt will feature a new design with 100% of the profits going to different organizations that are working towards making an impact within our community."
"Visible expressions of queerness have been, historically, a privilege Black & Indigenous people could not access."
"For some folks, whether it's your worst or your best — you being any of yourself will always be in their way. I tell myself: Pay it no mind and make your way your own; keep moving up, forward, and be your very best anyways. 🙏🏽"
Indya wrote, "This poem was inspired by a very powerful and emotional heart to heart that I had with my father, as a Black Taino trans femme. For the first time, we talked about our ancestry, history, and the patterns of abuse that we have been passing down for generations, and honestly."
