FEATURED WORK OF THE WEEK

On July the 17th, 2020 I saw the news about the feds, prowling our new streets, shooting kids protesting peacefully.

On July the 17th, 2020 I had a panic attack in my closet, my cat came in and meowed at me, I sobbed into my roommate's shoulder and screamed, "they don't fucking care about me! No matter what I do! Even though I did the right things and went to school and got my college degree, I have no fucking rights and I can't even fucking breathe without the possibility of them shooting me! I could die tomorrow and there's nothing they can do but be pissed, for like a week. We just lost someone last week! There's nothing to be done when they can just fucking kill us! I mean nothing to this country. I mean nothing."

Author Bio:

As a Storyteller, my primary objective for my art is to make an impact upon my audiences, students, readers, and viewers, as well as within the artists who I work with, or who happen to come across my works and are inspired by them.

I am an amateur painter, playwright, poet, actress, dancer, singer, and ceramist.

My writing material primarily consist of either abstract short stories/plays, or poetry which focuses on relaying the reality of the everyday struggles of being Queer, Black, young woman who's learning to grow despite consistently finding herself crushed under the enormous weight of her depression, growing up in the West Coast, and finding a place for herself in a world that wasn't made for her. In summary, my poetry tends to be philosophical and depressing, yet at the same time inspirational and educational. They force insight, understanding, and a greater sense of empathy and understanding from the viewer/ reader.

My paintings and ceramic pieces are abstract depictions of the wackiness of the human experience presented through my own personal life experience and represented upon my canvas, (or clay), in an unapologetically strange and raw manner. My visual and physical works are the translations of my core. They are honest, and raw depictions of the emotional strain, and confusion of life and all of it's wonders, as well as it's flaws.
