This week\u2019s theme at<\/span> the FIVE Spot is<\/span> SISTAS WITH FLOWERS, <\/b>as we present five works of art connected by their inclusion of floral themes and Black women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Black women deserve their flowers when they are still here. And not just for Women’s History Month, but<\/span> every<\/span><\/i> month.<\/span> For, like sistas, flowers brighten any space they grow in or occupy; help heal with their natural presence; provide energy and light; and improve the mood of those within their sphere.<\/span> So it\u2019s only fitting that we celebrate the women in our lives by making sure they have the opportunity to smell the roses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these five pieces was created by an emerging or established Black female artist. They include \u201cPrete Pour La Nuit\u201d by Masa Zodros; \u201cCelebrate Woman Series 16\u201d by Deborah Shedrick; \u201cSunflowers in Their Hair\u201d by Karen Powell; \u201cSweet Amelia’s Garden\u201d by Phyllis Stephens; and \u201cCleo\u201d by the incomparable Dr. Samella Lewis.<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage you to take at least five minutes to view them, study them, and connect with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

That way, you can see which ones hit the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n
