As an artist, I try to inspire others of the beauty of black women, black hair and black culture. As a teenager my mother did hair and I was in contact to many of the black women in our community. I got to witness the transformations of hair and the pride of the black woman daily. They leave my mother’s chair holding their heads high, wearing the new hairstyle like a crown. I am truly enjoying the process, I connect to my art and I see myself in every piece I create. In my community I see the culture the hustle everyday and I portray this in my art.
