Im happy to announce that I’ll be leading the photography and film aspect of the sinners screening. The work we’ve been doing in the delta continues to flourish I’m honored to be apart of this group of creatives striving to make a change in the creative landscape in Mississippi
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
the reason why #Sayhername is so important. For black women like sonya . For every black woman whose death at the hands of cops gets thrown under the rug . SAY HER NAME !

The HBO documentary, “Black Art: In the Absence of Light” is a good film about Black art for anyone who hasn’t seen it. I’m definitely inspired by all the great Black artists, both past and contemporary.
