As an Afro-Indigenous (Black and Native) advocate, I use whatever mediums at my disposal to normalize, affirm, and uplift the multi-dimensional identities of Black and Native peoples, and to encourage Black and Indigenous relatives (globally) to prioritize one another and divest from compartmentalizing struggles. While not formally trained as an artist, and as someone who is still unsure about the proper label of “artist,” I can acknowledge that art is in me and that my artwork has the power to disrupt the status-quo, to refuse subjugation, and to provoke the oppressed into recalling that we are more brilliant than our oppressors. All my work - advocacy, writing, speaking, community-building, and even art - is rooted in the notion that our inheritance is neither dispossession nor destruction, but instead Black Liberation and Indigenous Sovereignty!
