AphroChic Magazine: Issue No. 4
In this issue, we sit down with artist, Malik Roberts, who relates the experience of creating one of the few African American artworks to sit permanently in the Vatican collection. Fashion designer, Prajjé Oscar John-Baptiste introduces his latest collection — an ode to Haiti, and its goddesses. We head to South Carolina to experience the Gullah-inspired music of Ranky Tanky. And in New York, we watch a new world being born with photographer and journalist, Naeem Douglass, who takes us inside the city’s Black Lives Matter protests, and economist Janelle Jones, who reminds us in these times that we are the economy. We are thrilled to share our cover with chef and musician, Lazarus Lynch. Inside, we talk with him about his cookbook, Son of a Southern Chef and his new album, I’m Gay. From a house tour in Brooklyn to a travel piece in Tobago, this issue takes you all over the Diaspora. And we see how of the concept of Diaspora was first introduced in a look back at how Pan-Africanism led the way to how we think of international Blackness today. It is a showcase of our culture, our creativity, our resilience, and our diversity, our demands for the present and our hopes for the future. Welcome to our summer issue.

This is the grown-up bedroom we have<br />
always dreamed of. We love mixing<br />
modern and traditional pieces in a<br />
space. This bedroom design offers the<br />
best of both worlds, with an acrylic<br />
canopy bed and a stunning, traditional<br />
dresser.<br />
This feels like the perfect New York loft<br />
bedroom. Lots of hard, geometric lines to<br />
keep things modern. And we can mix in<br />
some of our favorite <strong>AphroChic</strong> pieces,<br />
including our Batik pillows and Day Rug.<br />

Clarendon Nightstand,<br />
Bernhardt<br />
For something sweet and pretty, we<br />
looked at this fully upholstered bed. This<br />
design allows us to keep things sophisticated,<br />
but we couldn’t resist adding some<br />
bling. Mixing materials, like brass paneling<br />
on the nightstand with a gold juju hat, just<br />
feels fun!<br />
