In my art series, I focus on depicting the beauty of everyday moments between parents and their children—moments that often go unnoticed but are no less special or meaningful than grand gestures or celebrations. Through my art, I strive to create an accurate but positive portrait of African American family life and share it with others who may never get the chance to experience something similar themselves. It is my hope that this art will help break down stereotypes about black families while celebrating the strength and resilience of these communities despite centuries of oppression and discrimination.
By creating an art series focused on depicting African American family life with both parents present, I am striving to show the world an accurate yet positive portrayal of what life looks like for many people within these communities today. Representation matters—and when it comes to African American families, representation should be honest yet hopeful as we continue our journey towards true justice and equality for all people regardless of race or background.
