Introduction I’m the younger of two children, born from an interracial couple of creative activists living in Washington, D.C. I was surrounded by art and politics from birth. As a child I was uncomfortably timid. Always thinking. Thinking about the world around me. Constantly intrigued by everything I saw. I mostly stayed to myself, with a piece of paper and pencil and drew all day. I was always trying to mimic the illustrations from the cartoons and comics I loved. In school I was surrounded with kids form all over the world. This exposure made me appreciate people’s differences. It also made me aware of the prejudices people face on a daily basis. As a teenager, I became outraged with these inequalities, but wasn’t outspoken enough to voice my opinion. As and adult I feel it is my purpose to make people aware of social injustices through creative conversation and design. Art is powerful and I believe it will change the world.
