Who decided what professionalism should look like?
Because one thing’s for sure… a Black African Woman was not at that table. Lets be real, was probably not even allowed in the building to begin with!
What does showing up fully look like for you?

I got inspired to capture the moment of my friends hugging by translating it onto textile art using Ankara fabric from Africa. This piece combines care and culture representing the strength of community.

Open to all… come see it in person if you can! Big thank you to @michiganarts for creating spaces for students to showcase their art and to everyone who came for the opening last week🫂💕
Here are more snippets of the show for those who request to see more🤭 I did the best I could with the phone recordings my friends sent me lol. Please read the information to see the meaning of this performance and how my vision came to be🥰
Thank you all for your support! I’ll post the ASA Culture Show 2025 soon. Stay Tuned!❤️🇰🇪❤️
Oil painting on wood… finally got it done🤍 Something interesting is that some say they see a white elephants side profile. However, in the same white shape others say they see the side view of a dragon spitting out yellow round flames. Do you see any of these? If so which one? If not, what do you see?
I didn’t paint any of these shapes intentionally… people came up to me and said they see these things. Now I see them too… when I tell you art! Shaaa even I shocked myself.

Last academic year I had the privilege of making a PERMANENT painting for South Quad Amatana Multicultural Lounge! I made this video and never posted it… so here it is!💙 Note: Don’t mind the voice, fall seasonal allergies get the best of me 😭
I was a bit skeptical when I started😬 but all went well😮💨 I’m painting Pet Portraits on commission✨
