ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Dr. Yaba Blay
Most Incredible Studio (MIS), the creative studio that turns memory into tangible, cultural collectibles using LEGO® bricks as its medium, proudly announces Dr. Yaba Blay as its inaugural Professional Black Girl-in-Residence.
Dr. Blay is a scholar, cultural worker, and the visionary behind Professional Black Girl, a multimedia platform celebrating the everyday genius and lived experiences of Black women and girls. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, ESSENCE, and O Magazine, and she is the author of the groundbreaking One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race.
Her highly anticipated second book, to become beautiful, is forthcoming.
The residency marks the beginning of a new MIS initiative designed to collaborate with cultural leaders who carry stories, traditions, and communities into the physical world through MIS artifacts.
Dr. Blay's latest drop
From Bamboo merch to the instantly iconic Hot Comb N Stove, Yaba and Most Incredible Studio created some of the hardest collectibles yet!
“When Syreeta mentioned to me that she wanted to infuse Black girl culture into Most Incredible Studio’s canon, I told her there was no way I would allow her to do that without ME! She laughed, but I was serious. The idea of merging what she does with what we do and how we do it is beyond exciting, it’s necessary.”
