The root of my work is sustaining traditional and historical practices around love, pleasure, cultural expressions, and community building. In James Baldwin‘s words, the intention behind my work is to be a “witness” to the experiences of those around me. Not only a witness but keep records using different mediums. Whether that’s oral history or replicating the house dresses of Black women in the early 1900s. My intention is to be a reference of what came before. My work centers the expression and thoughts of Black folks in a hope to facilitate the spaces where liberation can be dreamt.
