As a writer, jewelry designer and AI artist, I design works that speak to African history and black lives throughout the African Diaspora. I want my art to portray Afro-descended people in all their beauty, color, and diversity. While there are many cultures in the world that speak to and inspire me, black cultures are still, in my estimation, not represented as much or as completely as they should be. I create my work to tell a deeper and fuller version of the complex story that is the Black Experience.
