“I called this collection Spirits Up as a reminder to keep your head up, keep pushing—there is hope, and we find it most when we stand in community with one another.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this series, Ibi Meier-Oruitemeka reflects on the bonds that carry us through change — the friends, family, and chosen communities that lift our spirits when we need it most. Each piece is layered with stories of resilience, solidarity, and the quiet power of showing up for one another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to discover her latest work.
