The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river. ↗

I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of. ↗

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me. ↗
