Art of the Month
In 2021 the art series with examine moments in African American history in an attempt to UNERASE our past.
Historically the myth teaches us that Africans were brought to the Americas and taught a skill. It had us believing that the Africans were untrained labor dependent on European knowledge.
According to Toby Green in Fistful of Shells, when Europeans landed on the African continent, they were amazed at the crops the natives produced. The tribes had been trading in the Middle East for centuries. Europeans recognized the skills how well the tribes cultivated the earth around them.
Instead of creating deals to share information and wealth, these sinister Europeans bartered with tribes to steal the individuals who could cultivate fields on foreign soil. They would take these tribal skills and make themselves rich while depriving the people who did the work any of the wealth or benefit from it.
They would transport people from the African coasts to the Americas and grow crops of sugar, rice, and later cotton, peanuts and so much more.

I believe stories can be told in many ways and have used a variety of methods to uplift, inform and educate African Americans and peoples of color. I want my work to bring energy and life to a marginalized community to help it become strong and active. I want to do work that gets people to talking about the issues of life.

Sometimes your peace is sideways. You may have to hide to find those moments where you can rejuvenate. Some days it may look a little different. It may not have the ebb and flow that you want. But it is there.
