SUMMARY:I AM MY ANCESTORS
DESCRIPTION:In Appreciation of Black Independence\, artist Will Simpson of 
 Timelessartz created an exhibition celebrating Black Culture (Blacknicity)
 . Dance\, music\, and poetry have always been embedded in the African Amer
 ican culture\, and Blacknicity will be the exhibition to showcase it all. 
 The importance of Ali Cultural Center for the exhibition is major. First o
 f all\, it's in the heart of Pompano\, which is a major African American c
 ommunity in Broward County. Blacknicity was created in 2021 by artist Will
  Simpson and co-founder John Cledor\, to bring art to the community. Will 
 Simpson has been a pillar in the Broward art scene for years now. He's tau
 ght multiple workshops\, murals\, live painting\, and events all throughou
 t South Florida. Blacknicity is simply put\, "Building our community from 
 within." Showing our youth that they have more than enough inside to be th
 eir best version of themselves. We gotta start uplifting each other\, supp
 orting one another\, and being there for one another. We are not alone\, a
 nd as a community\, we must stand united. This show is about changing the 
 narrative that our ancestors were slaves. When in reality\, we came from r
 oyalty\, warriors\, and creatives. Our ancestors' culture is much more tha
 n slavery\; we are Kings and Queens. As you enjoy this show\, please view 
 each art piece with you in mind\, and know that your life matters.\n\nFor
