Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the art of storytelling. I have explored it through various mediums- dance, music, theatre, poetry > writing, and most recently, photography. I found a love for words early, performing my first original poem in 5th grade. Since then, I've traveled around the country performing my own life's stories in spoken word poetry and short story format.I believe photography is much like poetry. Poetry paints a picture by using words. Photography tells a story using a moment in time. I began exploring photography as a way to expand my verbal storytelling by photographing images and elements that accompanied my writings. In my verbal storytelling, I explore concepts of culture, identity, and social commentary. In my photography, it is an honor to document these concepts and the journey of womanhood as a way of reclaiming and preserving our authentic, powerful stories." } ] } ] ```
