Afro-futurism:

From “Far Enough”

BEAUTY always strikes me when I consider it leaving and am hurt by it

how light enters through the curtains at dusk and I find it beautiful 

because it is about to change

AFRO-Frontierism:

FROM “SELF PORTRAIT IN A TANNING BED”

I can see myself reflected back

with tiny goggles at first think I look like

a reverse coon with huge

BLACK EYES but I like the way I look


Lilly Rings

The Lilly ring is inspired by my Grandma's ring that my Mom would wear every day when I was younger. She has since passed it on to me and I decided to create a modernization of a classic ring that could be worn every day, comfortably.

I wanted to do this collaboration because I know how free-ing it is for artists to release their stories into the world. I also know how impactful it is for those stories to be amplified to the right audiences. I saw myself in her writing about feeling like an alien growing up because I was an artist and always felt different.
