So there's this real fly chick, right? Sooo talented, with a gracious spirit, and deserving of some love. Trust! Her name is Sylvia Rundles, and she's an artist, painter, and founder of Gbaby Fashions. Supa came across her work about three years ago, while strolling Leimert Park, when she spotted Ms. Sylvia at a booth and hand painting the image of a beautiful black sista on a fly denim hobo bag. Simply fabulous! (And sistas, we know how difficult it is to find bags, Tshirts, business card holders, stationary, etc. with Nubian representation plastered all over it, right? Right.Search no more.
Well - Fast forward a few years, and Gbaby now has her own fabulous boutique. Supa be posted up and chillaxin' there on the regular. And as a result of coasting through and shopping my azz off after yoga on Saturdays, Ms. Gbaby and I have formed a cool ass fellow artist sistafied type bond. Few months back, when I asked her if she would be willing to design my new book cover she said: "Girl, I thought you'd never ask!"
So. During these hot Cali summers, Ms. Gbaby holds a First Friday's event at her gallery, where folks can come shop, nibble, drink, enjoy the Live DJ, and be blessed with good positive vibes. It's also an opportunity for the local painters, artists, writers, etc. to fellowship and support one another..and oh yeah, yours truly will be doing a Passion, Pride, and Politickin' re-release reading there next month! So all you local peeps - be sure to come on out, enjoy the haps, and support ya girl!
Now, on to the goodies!!!
