ARTS&CULTURE: BLACK WOMAN AS MUSE, A LANDMARK BOOK CELEBRATING BLACK WOMANHOOD
(CHARLOTTE, NC – June 8, 2026) – Photographer Jerry Taliaferro has just published his latest photo essay, BLACK WOMAN AS MUSE (MUSE). The book is based on his traveling exhibition of the same title. It is a long-overdue homage to African American womanhood. This collection of photographs, produced over the course of decades, consists of images from one photographer’s odyssey to truly “seeing” the beauty that has always surrounded him. Most importantly, the subjects are Black Women who inhabit the day-to-day lives of most Americans. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and coworkers. Rarely has the American woman of African descent been so gloriously portrayed. Every page is an emotional experience. This is a book that daughters will share with daughters as they celebrate the beauty that is uniquely their own.

(BALTIMORE – May 27, 2026) – This is what I’m talking about when I say we live in a two-tiered system.

Reading through the charges really makes me feel like I’m watching the movie Enemy of the State. She should have stepped down as soon as this indictment was made public. Instead, she ran for reelection to the Maryland state Senate. Rather than…
