Symposium on Black Beauty. Honored to be one of the speakers. Learning about the amazing works by everyone on the panel was inspiring, empowering and reaffirming! Such a great time sharing some of my story and art activists work. Panelist included: Alexis De Veaux, Lakersha J. Harris, Niki Lopez & Mia L. Bagmeris. . Wonderful, powerful & beautifully curated panel facilitated by Dr. Sarah Clunis.👌🏾✊🏾 . Met so many wonderful people including artist & activist Yrneh Gabon. . How fun: both author, poet, queer activist Alexis De Veaux and myself showing up in similar stripped blazer. . Niki Lopez at Xavier University Art Gallery for A Symposium on Black Beauty. This symposium features works from the exhibition, QUEEN: From the Collection of CCH Pounder. . Curated by Dr. Sarah Clunis . Doing double duty: loved combining art & design and enjoyed the opportunity of designing the arts catalog for this exhibition.
