Black is beautiful
My goal is always to show black beauty, the the everyday, the normal, the special. The black beauty that you could see and access just in yourself, in the mirror, every day. The black beauty that doesn’t need to break itself or change or alter. I wanted black beauty to know you have everything you need right in front of you. You.
I have always focused my art on celebrating that self love. Today, I see black bodies who love their kin folk so much they would risk their lives to protest and protect the life of any black soul who could be endangered now and in the future to police brutality and the deep racism of this country.
I searched myself for these words, and wanted my kin folk to know: I see you. I’ve always seen you, and I’ve long made it my life mission to make sure others see you as I do. Beautiful, and worth living.
