Pride pieces are some of my favorite to make. The visibility of pride accessories signals safety, allyship, and community. It helps us find each other in a world that can be scary and hostile to us. As a Two-Spirit artist these things are very important to me. → cvkvlv.com/products/pro...

your DNA collect too.
Stuck in the floorboards until mv hvse melts the planet,
or until they rip them out to replace with tile.
Notes on Mvskoke meanings/pronunciations:
Vhosketv is pronounced Uh-hos-gee-duh
Mv is pronounced Muh and means 'the' or 'that'
Hvse (huh-see) means sun
