half white. half black. human being. branding and marketing do-gooders and breaking down the fallacy of race and identity constructs.

@shananys I've responded and as I said I tried to find your email address, it's not on your website or on the LA Weekly site so not sure what to say, anyhow, hopefully this can all be put behind us at this point. have a good holiday!

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@shananys Would you mind direct messaging me please so we can close the loop on this, I'd appreciate it, Thank you!

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@shananys So if you follow me I will happily DM you or email me at [email protected] and I can reply --as I said, I also followed you so that you could DM me and I could respond, trying to make it work :) --thank you!

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@shananys I tried to DM you but you can't direct message people who don't follow you, I also spent hours trying to find an email address for you but couldn't even on your site. My intention was only ever to correct the facts on a project I put my heart and soul into.

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@ruthannharnisch @shananys @LAWeeklyArts @neonbutterflyny Thank you @ruthannharnisch and @shananys I would like to directly communicate the facts to you so the update to the piece is fully accurate so please do DM me, thank you.

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@shananys @cindygallop @downtown_la @LAWeekly @shananys -- @downtown_la brought my firm, https://t.co/Cmxqi4M04x in to bring DTLA //IRL to life, I just want to ensure the facts are straight as we all worked very hard on this I'm sure you can understand, thank you and we're happy you like it!

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@shananys @cindygallop @downtown_la @LAWeekly @shananys thanks for fixing, I know it wasn't intentional. The amendment is still incorrect, unfortunately, Cindy Gallup and We Art That did not work on this, they were kindly just offering support and helping to ensure the facts were straight.

.@perfectlymixt and her https://t.co/zNyTqZV9Qv team created, designed and implemented the @downtown_la #DTLA/IRL project - so why is there no mention of her and no NeonButterfly credit, but a photo of 4 men in @shananys @LAWeekly coverage? https://t.co/IfAszKlHMc #diversity

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

Excellent, I just sent you an email too! Pleading hahaha :) Do you have time tomorrow morning?

[Mike Sonksen @MikethePoeTLA]

@Perfectlymixt Yes, for sure. Lets definitely talk, sounds real good to me.

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@mikesonksen Our timing is really tight as we are launching Nov. 26th and literally just convinced our client to let us use your poem as a perfect celebration of DTLA--so we wanted to present the idea to you ASAP if possible

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

@MikethePoeTLA Hi, my name is Abby Allen and I'm the creative director on a really cool project/event space in downtown LA called DTLA // IRL -we would LOVE to use one of your poems in our exterior installation-could we talk?

you know the infuriating, ridiculous, insane way some have been excusing and denying sexual misconduct recently? how simultaneously dumb and scary it is?

i want good people who are not people of color to know that’s what watching racism feels like every day. all the time. 24-7.

I mean, NAACP might as well warn black folks about LIVING in AMERICA not just flying on American Airlines.

[Abby Allen @Perfectlymixt]

weird to see no brown faces in the Houston crowd, how far we haven’t come #WorldSeries

Many of us know this famous picture of Tommie Smith and John Carlos. But few know the bravery and tragedy of the white guy, Peter Norman.
