In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist. We must be anti-racist. — Angela Davis On this day, Friday, February 6, 2026, we are reminded once again that racism is very much alive in the United States of America. When anyone, specially current leadership uses imagery rooted in dehumanization, when racism is dismissed as “just a meme,” and when history’s ugliest tropes are repackaged as humor or power fantasies, it is not accidental. It is intentional. It is used both as distraction and as a blatant display of racism. And it is unacceptable and dangerous. Michelle and Barack Obama, the first Black First Family, represent dignity, restraint, intellect, and service in the face of relentless hatred. Those who engage in bigotry and racism will never possess what the Obamas embody: respect, dignity, grace, intellect, honesty, elegance, beauty, and global admiration. That is the true power this administration, their leadership and supporters seek, but will never attain. When asked by @emmagrede whether “when they go low, we go high” still holds, @michelleobama did not abandon the principle. She clarified it. Growth requires wisdom. Resistance requires strategy. Justice requires courage. At TrooRa, we believe culture is not neutral. Media is not neutral. Silence is not neutral, it is complicity! Going high does not mean looking away. It means seeing clearly. Naming what you see with honesty. And choosing to stand on the side of humanity anyway. TrooRa Magazine & Media Founder @editor_in_t Trystanne Cunningham believes that anti-racism is a responsibility and the only way we use this moment to abolish racism and white supremacy once and for all is by using our collective consciousness as an opportunity for continued unity and to always use love to bring light to this darkness with joy and light.

Some art exists to comfort; some exists to remember what was deliberately erased. Mohau Modisakeng’s work confronts history through the Black body, carrying memory, loss, and survival across time. It does not offer resolution or ease- it asks us to sit with discomfort, to acknowledge dismembered identities, silenced lives, and histories that continue to echo. In this space, remembering becomes an act of resistance, and art becomes a refusal to forget.
