Five days left to fund the Queens of Freedom Project

The Queens of Freedom project will focus on 17 women who have changed the way we live today. These women were queens in their own right, championing freedom and human rights. I will recast women like Sojourner Truth, Madame CJ Walker, Barbara Jordan and 14 more women to be modern day royalty.

This project will use models, costumes and props to remake pictures and tell the stories of their lives.
