Artist Statement
My Afro-Native heritage inspires me to create a body of work that validates both my Blackness and those intersections. Often those identities are separated and viewed as "unlikely connections." My practice honors my ancestors' stories by creating visual representations of Black futures grounded in African and Afro Native cultural practices & cosmologies.
