about
I learned early that my sexuality would always be subjected to many forms of discourse and abuse, even in circumstances most professional and settings that were in need of my skill. As many black women are underrepresented and exploited in the NYC scene, I ask “what visual can represent the reclamation of space?” The journey to reclaim is something that should have the space to feel sensual, enraged, archetypical, brazen…
“Breasts Got Big” is a song inspired by the circumstances where men plague spaces for art-making with misogynoir.
lyrics
YEA, YEA,YEA
I just logged in, I could barely breathe,
and since my breasts got big, now you listenin’
My Tech Ladies ring-shift 2 deez industries
cuz when they takin’ up dat space, das a luxury!
Yea, my mama made a legacy
n my intelligence cradles my sensuality
y’all finna centre not censor my true reality
cuz I could give a fuck if u gon’ try 2 measure me, yea
so thick it might set u off
lord knows what might set u off
yea, u so hard-headed — it gon’ set u off
lord knows what might set u off
I don’t give a fuck what it costs,
you gonna move to da side, that’s gon’ set u off
I’m only gonna give it to you raw,
so move to da side it might set u off yea, off yea, off, off yea
