Social Activism
Social Activism is found throughout many pieces within the entire body of my work. The need to understand, explain, and expose challenges faced by Black America is a part of who I am and reflects the lens upon which I view the world. I often take very difficult subjects and try to beautify them in order to catalyze challenging discussions. My works seek to bring forth both issues and solutions through the scope of an African American Artist, while at other times it may simply document witnessed moments for historical reference.
