Sons of Abraham: A Visual Memoir

Poems, short essays, family photographs

"As a creator and artist, I am modulating my thinking from the playful memories of my childhood growing up in California. I yearn to capture the joys and freedom of that time, not in a nostalgic way, to be bogged down in the past, but looking to how that joy can grow. More and more, the desire to exhibit the Black body at rest is what drives me. To see what can be achieved at a larger scale when that psyche is eased."

— Gibron Whitney Shepperd
