a sister of the yam

debut art show | another cafe | san francisco | spring 2023 |

an art show consisting of 10 paintings & original pieces of poetry that intends to reimagine the Black American woman as the catalyst for the American experiment.

the show uses seven elements to give shape to the ranging dimensions of Black femininity:

the environment, the fem form, out of oblivion, the cycle, faith stirred, an armed reckoning, a sister of the yam

guiding poem:

i am a sister of the yam

because i committed to the journey of healing,

and self-acceptance

i know to heal,

is to liberate myself —

it is freedom from fear,

and healing is a road towards visibility.
