In my interview with Tila Studios’ curator @grace.gard Below is a deeper look into my art, for the entire interview click the #linkinbio ◽️ ◽️ How would you describe your artwork? Empowering. I definitely want to empower people. Usually it has a feminine touch to it or feminine themes. That’s usually what I really want it to be.

I’m a lover especially towards my friends and family, thank you for the encouragement and kind words💗 📸: @h0txgirl

It’s ironic that I’m a writer, but rarely do long posts. Today it’s on my heart to share my journey. I’ve worked with wonderful people recently and love producing artwork, but it’s by no means an easy endeavor. Just within these past few months I’ve become a guardian, picked up a third job to support myself and my younger sister. I’m a full time student but GSU must not like seniors because financial aid is not on my side towards the finish line. I’m constantly creating and collaborating with amazing people. I even have my first solo exhibition scheduled for August 4th. IT’S A LOT, but it’s exactly what I need and asked for. I prayed for my @tila_studios tribe and to be a graduate of Georgia State. Basically I’m trying to say, it may feel like a lot to carry but it’s not in vain. Enjoy the moments along the way, don’t always focus on the end goal and miss the blessings in between✨ P.s this shoot is for @themarshartsstudio new clothing line, she’s a beautiful soul frfr lol I would know since we’re roommates 😂 (at Sandy Springs, Georgia)

I’m thankful to see another year of possibilities and opportunities. My Jordan Year has begun🦀 📸: @d_howard16

People of Tumblr, we’re throwing up the Bat Signal.

Though this Administration has vowed today to sign an executive order that would end the separation of families at the border stemming from its “zero tolerance” policy, we must continue to apply pressure and do our part. Families should have never been separated in the first place.

Here are five ways that you can help:

1. Call your Senator and let them know that immigration reform is still needed. Call the Senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senator’s office.

2. Donate to organizations that are providing support to immigrant families being held in detention centers all over the country:

The Florence Immigration Project - The Florence Project is providing free legal and social services to migrants being detained in Arizona.

The Texas Civil Rights Project - Lawyers in Texas have banned together to fight for “equality and justice in and out of the courts.”

ACLU of Texas Border Rights Center

RAICES Bond Fund - This fund provides money to release parents from detention centers so they can look for their kids.

CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project - CARA provides legal representation for families in detention centers.

KIND - Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) provides legal representation for unaccompanied minors in detention centers. They’ve also provided other ways for you to help oppose family separation here.

CARA Pro Bono Project - Help alleviate the cost of housing for volunteer lawyers, as well as sending coloring books to those children in detention centers.

Refugee Caravan - Donate what you can to help detained immigrants make phone calls to their families and lawyers.

3. Contact the Immigration Justice Campaign if you, or someone you know, are fluent in Spanish and can assists lawyers at the border over the phone as an interpreter.

4. Contact Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and volunteer your services as a Spanish-speaking interpreter or as a lawyer for those parents who have been sent to the state of Washington without their children.

5. If you’re a lawyer, law student, paralegal or Spanish-speaking interpreter, contact the Dilley Pro Bono Project for a week-long shift as a volunteer in Texas.

Let’s do what we can to right this wrong because children and families should never have to suffer these kinds of irreparable trauma.
