My Art is my escape from society.
The chance to turn my truth into fantasy,
Because sometimes we want to forget the reality.
Of what’s going on in the black community
My art shows the historic struggles that have been made,
With grace and beauty of the blackness, that won’t fade.
Like my love of my heritage, pure as sparkling sugar cane.
That flows softly like acid rain.
I use bright colors within it,
To pull you in and make you think about it.
With warm reds and brilliant blues,
I tell a story that jumps out to you.
Admire the silhouettes of human frame,
While falling in love with, the black girls’ mane.
There is so much pain inside the Black American,
This paint is not made by the African
It comes from a long history of
Making “America Great Again”
My art tells a story of what black
past, present and future could be.
By mixing “Reality” with “Fantasy.”
So, this is what “Blackness” means to me.
