We Must Choose Either Champagne for a Few or Safe Drinking Water for All
Share
When I first started All Over Most in 2018, it was just an idea. An idea that we, as a people, must band together as a tribe and see everyone as our equals. When the pandemic came along, I halted production and didn't think I would come back to this, but a lot has changed since then. Mainly, I was introduced to this quote from Thomas Sankara, "We must choose either champagne for a few or safe drinking water for all." As those words echoed in my mind, I took a look around me and saw much disconnection from each other and even ourselves as individuals.
It is now 2025 and the message is clear, it is going to take a village to get through the challenges that have come our way. With that, I will aim to make pieces that instill this idea to those who have already faced the beginning of the revolution in their mind and for those who have not, to start to question.
I will leave you all now with another quote, this time by Mary Cassatt, "Acceptance on someone else's terms is worse than rejection." I hope you find the time to reflect on its meaning.
