A Portrait Project For Black Women To "Be Seen, Be Heard"

Only brave people have the courage to share their vulnerable side. When we reveal this part of ourselves, it invites others to take down their walls. It builds connection and understanding.

It is my goal to create portraits of Black women that celebrate and represent strength, vulnerability, and dignity. Alongside or integrated into the portraits, words of wisdom from the women I photograph. A snippet of a personal story or their perspective of the state of things with #BLM. Ultimately I hope to continue the dialogue. Providing a platform to be seen & heard.
