Love Letter Yard Signs II
My aim with the love letter yard signs is to challenge and, hopefully, rewrite the narrative my community has with these spaces and ultimately, themselves. To view these spaces as the beginning of whatever they demand to live the lives they want to live. In this next iteration of Love Letter Yard Signs, I took lines and excerpts from bell hooks’ All about Love: New Visions which personally heralds all things Black love. I interjected her words, and hopefully, her sentiment, into street signs associated with how we engage and navigate our neighborhood spaces. It is my hope that this recontextualization will be a reconsideration of what these spaces are and must for us as a community and as a people. That they will become sites of resistance; that they will embody and become sites of our self actualization as is the natural and only path when we love fully.
