An Afrocentric artist in paint and spoken word, a British Queen, descending from Benin City; my work is inspired by the on going resilient joy among the African Diaspora in the face of hate and trauma worldwide. Positivity and happiness is a choice that doesn't negate the validity of pain through experience, the self-generation of joy influences the longevity of our fight to thrive. Concepts and perspectives are integral in all of my creativity. Challenging the logic of hate and contributing to Black representation is fundamental in my poetry and art.

Ascension in the Queendom is an acrylic painting inspired by the Black woman as the creator; breathing life into everything that has the privilege to be in her path, through her freedom to love herself and everything around her other Black women realise their power and also ascend.
