Artist Statement
The phases of my life have shaped my evolution, but one thing has remained constant: passion—for art, for women, and for showcasing them as the powerful, radiant heroes of their stories.
With the birth of my daughters, especially the first two being girls, I felt a deep need to root them in pride and dignity. In a world that often tries to shrink them, I use my art to affirm their identity, worth, and beauty.
I hope my art holds space, creates space, and validates not just my girls, but all Black girls and women. I hope it reflects my evolution—power, beauty, strength, grit, and versatility.
