11 quotes
Being a woman in itself is a full-time job
I am reimagining African women as independent, liberated, self-confident, and empowered
I am offering a bold, unapologetic declaration of pride in dark skin
They know and are a true definition of what a woman is
As a woman, I’m supposed to have another woman’s back
Let’s talk about what it's like to be a woman
I deserve my flowers for going through so much
We are born different, but we are sisters
This flower gives life to the earth
It was therapeutic, and it set me free
In my art, I love to capture mundane things, the beauty of objects and people’s expressions, especially women. I want my art to breathe life into a long-forgotten culture, give life to society, capture it in all its glory and create beauty using ruins of random objects.
