Laura Mvula x The Dreaming Room
In the face of recent events, I have no words yet but I do have images. And I hope that these will remind you that black girl magic, black girl joy, they aren’t going anywhere. Yeah, love and let yourself be loved.

I had a phase when all I watched was beauty videos on Youtube, and I am thankful for everything I learned from them, but I also think they present a reality that isn’t true for a lot of people who wear makeup.
