"The Way They Ran"
This was created while I was location scouting for Passover Scars, a short film I served as Director of Photography for, directed by Lydia (Fiyori) Asmerom-Hall. We came across a group of young children who guided us through paths they knew well; across land, river, and metal. In their laughter and fearlessness, I felt the echo of my own childhood. It was a moment of joy, a reminder of how wonder lives in the smallest corners of life. (December 2019)
"Emergence"
This is a meditation on Black womanhood. It was born from a longing to see more Black women portrayed as free and fully connected to their truest selves. At the time, I was searching for that freedom within my own life. This work became both a mirror and a manifestation, a moment of release amid the constant noise of the 21st century. (March 2021)
"For a Moment, Home"
This carries a piece of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that stayed with me long after I returned home. Though I am not Ethiopian, I felt an immediate sense of love and connection to the land. We stayed with a close friend’s family, and this was the view from the bedroom window. I often think about that room and that period in my early adulthood, exploring a new place and finding peace in unfamiliar cultures. (December 2019)

I identify as a Black American woman, rooted in a mixed lineage of Seminole Indian and African American heritage. My culture grounds me, yet my gaze often drifts toward the world beyond what I know. These works are reflections of both, the inheritance that lives within me and the inspirations that meet me wherever I go. Through my lens, I am constantly seeking the connection between the familiar and the foreign, the known and the becoming.
