Jada Pinkett Birthday Party Invitation (September 13, 1986) — Framed Add to favourites
This hand-drawn invitation to Jada Pinkett’s birthday party, dated September 13, 1986, captures a precise moment in Baltimore youth culture, before fame, when future cultural figures were part of the same friendship circles during a pivotal period of their adolescence.
In an interview, GE-OLOGY recalls the night in vivid detail, noting the resonant date and explaining that the party took place close enough to his home to walk to. At the time, Jada Pinkett and Tupac Shakur were part of the same Baltimore School for the Arts student community, placing this invitation within the wider social world Tupac was moving through in the mid-1980s.
