There is a small but longstanding community of Black cowboys in NYC. In this installment of The Freedom to Be, hear from Dr. George E. Blair—a 90-year-old descendant of the Buffalo soldiers—who produced an all-Black cowboy rodeo in Harlem for over 30 years and continues to teach New Yorkers how to ride horses at his New York Riding Academy on Randall’s Island.

This series is part of #TheBlackExperienceInNYC travel hub on NYCgo.com and highlights NYC's endless and often unexpected opportunities for Black subcultures and affinity groups—acknowledging the five boroughs' vibrant abundance of ideas and expressions. A celebration of the diversity within Black culture in NYC, #TheFreedomToBe also underscores the contributions of these communities and groups to NYC's dynamism.⁠⁠

With this in mind, United Airlines is giving two women the opportunity to have their art featured on two huge canvases — United Boeing 757’s.

To launch this campaign and initiative, we collaborated with Shantell to create two interactive art installations.

The racial optics of Black characters in animation and Black animators is a conversation at the beginning of getting mainstream attention. In the latest episode of Taking Up Space on Facebook Watch (from Netflix's Strong Black Lead), former Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean and several other Black creatives discuss the impact of having Black writers, animators and voices behind the camera — Shadow And Act
