ARTIST STATEMENT

My work at the root is a journey of self discovery. I explore the dynamics of my culture and how it affects my relationships with family, friends, and society. This process has aided me to heal, strengthened my spirituality, and led to realizations about myself that I may have never discovered otherwise. Through collages and other mediums, my aim is to spark conversation about the descendants of the diaspora, by displaying black history, royalty, heritage, and tradition. I hope to minimize the lack of awareness and relatability of our rich culture and history amongst ourselves in order to have unquestionable self worth. Try on my lens and enjoy this journey with me..
