As a weaver, my work celebrates the intersection of identity, memory, and cultural resilience. Rooted in my upbringing and the traditions that have shaped me, my art weaves together narratives that reflect both the complexity of my lived experience and the enduring strength of my heritage. Through my practice, I honor the histories and stories of Black communities—stories often overlooked or misrepresented.

Drawing from the rich cultural tapestry of my background, I reimagine traditional weaving techniques to explore themes of heritage, memory, and reclamation. Fiber becomes a medium through which I bridge the past and present, creating pieces that speak to both personal and collective journeys. Each work reflects the power of cultural endurance and the importance of storytelling in the face of erasure.

I stand on the shoulders of generations of African American fiber artists who have paved the way for my own practice. From the enslaved weavers who shaped the textile economy of the Americas through their mastery of cotton, indigo, and other fibers, to the trailblazers of the 20th century like Robert Earl Paige, Faith Ringgold, and the artists of Gee’s Bend—whose work continues to inspire and inform my own. These artists and laborers were not only creators, but also preservers of culture, imbuing their work with resilience, innovation, and a deep sense of identity.
Through my art, I seek to foster connection, understanding, and reflection.

I invite viewers to engage not only visually but emotionally, encouraging deeper dialogue about race, identity, and the ongoing struggle for cultural preservation. Ultimately, my work is an expression of resistance and affirmation—a reminder of the transformative power of creativity to challenge stereotypes, celebrate difference, and contribute to a more inclusive world.
