Greetings Dieselfunkateers! The wave rises once again.  One big thing for me at this time in my life is all about Legacy.  MICROSOFT has just released the individualized ad featuring me.  Surreal.  I’ve been doing my specific branch of Afrofuturism for a long time.  So refreshing, validating, and joyful to be individually represented in my workspace.  So wonderful to know that while talking about INFINITUM, Matty’s Rocket and my aspirations for my legacy within such a large forum.  Thanks to the GREAT Maryam Myika Day for her creative generosity and firm BLK-Ops for their wonderful production.
