My interest in art began to develop when my 10th grade art teacher required us to maintain a sketchbook of our own original ideas. It was the first time I was given space to communicate my love and observations of my own black girl experience in public spaces. I found that visual art gave me a space to express myself, while everywhere else required my silence. I earned my BFA at Virginia Commonwealth University, and pursued my Masters at Maryland Institute College of Art.
