THINGS WORTH SAVING: I think we can all see by the cookie cutter response on racism seen from most of the fashion industry in recent weeks, that publications like this one are needed more than ever.

A note from the Editor in Chief:
Dear readers, contributors and friends to the cause,
Ubikwist Magazine needs your help to survive.

Trials and tribulations pave the journey of an independent publication.
It has been a long and rocky path to this 10th issue.

When print advertising isn’t a top priority and magazines were already a fraught business, being a black woman editor in chief also comes with its own challenges.

Celebrating diversity and showcasing eclectic, unconventional and opinionated talents in the fashion and creative industry is a form of activism.

Because you can’t be what you don’t see, and you can’t learn what is left untold, Ubikwist raised its voice.

Now more than ever, diverse artists, dissident thinkers and game changers need to be platformed. Their voices need to be heard so we can take part in the conversation about this new world. We need positive imagery.

In times of pandemic uncertainty, there is no roadmap and there is so much at stake.
Like any other small business, Ubikwist magazine is on a critical turn.
Printing is essential to perenize our activity. Without print there is no advertising and there is no magazine without advertising.
We need your help to keep the magazine alive and publish our “Avant-Garde” 10th issue. Every little helps. If 1200 persons give 10$/€/£ we will be able to go through this.

Because Ubikwist is so much more than a magazine, more than just glossy paper. it is an oppportunity to finally introduce more creativity, originality and consciousness at a time when social and racial inequalities are glaring and the line between editorial content and advertising is blurrier than ever.

Ubikwist is a community, a platform. a tribune, a guardian.

If you want to support Ubikwist and help us beat this crisis, please visit our crowdfunding page. CHECK LINK IN BIO
Together We Are Stronger
The fight continues.

Thank you.

Truly yours

Mood: LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
What a weekend. I had forgotten what optimism felt like.
I’ve participated in my share of protests over the years, but have never seen tangible results - policy change - happening in real time. Huge respect to all who are organizing - your ability to communicate specific goals and use media to instruct us how to take meaningful action is making all the difference. WE ARE WITH YOU, WE ARE BEHIND YOU. Let’s KEEP GOING!!!

It’s the dawn of a new day! 🖤🖤🖤 “Wow, it’s done! New “Black Lives Matter” Mural painted in #washingtondc on road to White House (16th St.) They started at 3:00 am & just finished. Mayor Bowser approved it:” Joyce Karam 🔥🔥🔥 #mayorbowser “chief of staff John Falcicchio wrote on Twitter, "There was a dispute this week about whose street this is. Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC’s street and to honor demonstrators who peacefully protested on Monday evening." Update: D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser renamed the street in front of the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza” on Friday and emblazoned the slogan in massive yellow letters on the road, a pointed salvo in her escalating dispute with President Trump over control of D.C. streets.”

SOUND ON
This video is a perfect example of bias we white people have that we do not see. You may be able to look at it and be horrified and think that you would never be as stupid as this reporter, but I can guarantee you, all of us who think we are not a racist and one of the “good ones”, we do subtle (or not so subtle) versions of this ALL THE TIME and we have NO IDEA. As we are sitting here feeling profoundly uncomfortable about what is the right thing to do and say, and what we should post, afraid that whatever we do is going to come under fire by somebody no matter what, know that you probably will be criticized, and no matter how uncomfortable that makes you feel, keep on listening to as many voices as you possibly can. All those criticisms, whether they are angry attacks or gentle reminders, have something in them that we must open ourselves to hearing. The discomfort we are feeling right now is part of the process. Know that our black and P.O.C. friends have let countless microaggressions pass year after year because they knew our hearts were in the right place but that we just didn’t know better. Sit there and feel this shitty feeling and know that it’s nothing in comparison to everything they have had to swallow for a lifetime. And let’s do the work - to talk amongst ourselves as we become able to see more and more of the things we do that are hurtful. The first time I heard a friend say “white liberals are the worst” it really knocked the wind out of me, and then I started to see that it’s because we think we are not part of the problem and that we have no work to do. Well guess what - we’ve got a lot of work to do.
Thank you @andrejworldwide for the video and for your voice.

When I moved to NYC in 1994, my plan was to study

When I moved to NYC in 1994, my plan was to study fashion design, but my bigger plan was to dance my ass off to house music, or is that House Music, and I did a whole lot of that. I went to Sound Factory Bar religiously, did coat check at Boy Bar with all the East Village drag queens, the Loft, Sound Factory, Shelter, Twilo, Vinyl for Body & Soul, worked at Bass Hit Recording/23 West where so many of these records were made, even had my own tiny record label for a hot minute. What I discovered though, was that while I thought I was seeking out a small underground culture, the truth is that dance culture, disco culture - whatever you want to call it, is such a part of the roots of so many in this city, that I can walk outside and hear all the “classics” (and the good ones) - coming out of the boom boxes of elderly people on a park bench or families having picnics. Yesterday I remembered that we will dance together again, and I cried because I miss it, but also because I could imagine how good it’s going to feel. Thank you @karobrandi for getting me out of the house and for the 🎥

Still coming down after a really fun weekend @acurrentaffair where I forgot I was alone in my apartment. Although nothing beats real personal contact, I am so grateful that technology has been able to get us so close to the next best thing. And if anyone is looking for something to get married in, this beauty is still available. All items from my live session are posted in the web store, link in bio.

My mom’s dream was to quit her elementary school

My mom’s dream was to quit her elementary school teaching job, live on the coast, focus only on her hand weaving and sell it at Obiko, the most legendary store there ever was. She never got that far but I’m still out here, carrying a piece of that dream with me every day. I love you and miss you. Happy Mother’s Day everybody. ✨🦋✨
