"America is a hard place to live for a person of color. I made this piece to
show just how few the ways out for people in the ghetto. And when hard times hit our country,
like the virus has, they hit the poor people first and the hardest, and advancing becomes even harder."

"Trying to cope
with my emotions and
also give some good
messaging out there!"
