“In order to create an enlightened society you have to change the culture. In order to change the culture, you have to change the art. And in order to change the art, you have to change the principles that art is based on. ”

Societal narratives of the African American experience define my ancestors by the circumstances of enslavement. Trauma is not a legacy. This series celebrates the immense humanity of those who came before me.
