Now Nikki Giovanni? She said ‘Nah.’ She came out the gate unapologetic. She never let the media, the academy, or the publishing world edit her voice. She’s the blueprint for creative self-possession. She owned her identity and made that her power.

Sidney Poitier was ‘the respectable Negro’—polished, composed, non-threatening. A trailblazer, yes—but also a figure white audiences could feel ‘comfortable’ with. He knew that, and he played the part—but there’s a quiet defiance in the way he held that space. He was subversive by simply being excellent.

Sammy Davis, Jr. was caught between the club and the cause. He wanted acceptance—so badly—that he embraced spaces that didn’t always embrace him back. He leaned into performance, into assimilation, but it came at a cost. He was always balancing spectacle with sincerity.
Eartha Kitt's mixed race identity caused her to be othered in Black and white communities. From this she seized an opportunity to develop her an identity she saw as being beyond racial constructs. Even in the entertainment world, she never fit in with or abided by industry standards.

Peter Tosh was the rebel. He stood in the fire. His music, his politics, his very look—all defied expectation. He didn’t care about palatability. He was about truth, not approval.

O.J. is complicated. He actively rejected Blackness as identity—he said, ‘I’m not Black, I’m O.J.’ That decision to try to transcend race—on the surface—was actually a submission to the white gaze. It’s haunting, especially when you look at how his story unfolded.

"Half Pint Pygmy" draws inspiration from early animation and cinema to critique how Black characters have been depicted as subhuman or animalistic. The piece reinterprets an old cartoon poster, revealing the casual racism that was once a staple in entertainment. By placing these images in a new context, I want to spark discussions about how the media has perpetuated harmful stereotypes and emphasize the need to rethink these portrayals in today's culture.
