Artist Statement: It has been with great sadness that I have seen the black community be met with institutionalized racism. Despite this, many black people, specifically black women, have risen above and stand up for their communities. I think that it is empowering, inspiring, and most of all beautiful that they are unapologetically embracing their culture and themselves as a result.
