De.cypher was created on the traditional lands of the Seminole, Tocobaga, Timucua, Shawnee, Miami, Wyandotte, Ojibwe, Odawa, Bodewadmi, Tewa, Tongva, Gabrielino, and Lenape People.
We acknowledge that the various spaces we used to manifest our work are the traditional lands of the Seminole/Tocobaga/Timucua (Central FL), Shawnee/Miami/ Wyandotte (Central OH), Ojibwe/Odawa/Bodewadmi (Chicago-Greater IL),
Tewa (Santa Fe), Tongva/Gabrielino (Los Angeles),
and Lenape (New York City) People.
We hope to continue learning how to become better stewards of this land we inhabit and plan to continue using Native-Land.ca as a resource.
We honor the earth itself and we recognize the Indigenous people who have stewarded these lands through many generations.
Rielle Li x Colors Only
A celebration of women of color of all ages of adulthood, shapes and sizes. Colors Only is meant to encourage and empower women of color to embrace their sexuallity and natural divine beauty through erotica art.
Historically a majority of Art & Erotica art in America has been viewed from a white male perspective. We are taking away the male gaze and creating an artistic space that allows women to be themselves the way they choose to express it. Women creatives, directors, photographers and artists all come together to create something magical that's never been done before.

Poems He Left Me
A word from Mizz June
First I'd like to thank my friends, my living loved ones, my ancestors, my Orishas, and Yahweh for getting me to this point.
I'd like to thank Ayla Sullivan and Jack Dorfman for their hard work, care, and attention on this video [F*CK THAT]
and throughout the entire process. Thank you for putting up with my weirdo artist ass, lol.
I'd like people to support their company Shift23 Media, because they're doing big things and they deserve all the accolades.
I'd also like to thank Donnie Joachim and Greg Newton (aka The Male Gayze) of BGSQD (http://bit.ly/2HWEhJk) one of NYC's few radical volunteer Queer bookstores and art event spaces open to all that's at risk due to the pandemic.
Last but certainly not least...my Dawta Bl3ssing Oshun-Ra for just being an amazing human being on and off set. MUVA LUH YOOOOOU !!
