What Does Black History Month Mean To You This Year?
Black History for me is about honoring those that came before us. Celebrating their Bold, Outrageous accomplishments. They gave us permission to be great, permission to take a stand, Permission to be Black and Proud.

Where Are You Finding Inspiration To Create This Year?
In the studio
I have at least 5 exhibitions this year. Two of those are solo exhibitions will be in Dallas and the other in Houston... I'm excited to show my Miss Oak Cliff Painting because it will be my first time exhibiting back home in Texas. Oak Cliff is the neighborhood I was raised in a part of Dallas.. The painting is a symbol to empower women of Oak Cliff but it is also a symbol to let the world know that this magical place exist with some of the most talented people in the world..
Also, I get to show my painting Anointed.. Both paintings are intended to be mirrors for the viewers. When a woman looks at Miss Oak Cliff I want her to see herself or someone she knows as Queen. If someone see's Anointed I want him to see himself as Anointed as well.
