I collaborated on the visual alchemy for edwell's 21-Day Whole Teacher Challenge, weaving threads of design into a tapestry that honors the mental well-being of educators nationwide. This transformative Challenge birthed wellness practices, cultivating a virtual sanctuary where community members could boldly embrace conversations destigmatizing mental health challenges. The 21 graphic decks, a sacred offering across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and the daily Mailchimp Newsletter, wove a visual spell, each pixel a testament to the resilience and vitality of educators on this collective journey toward wholeness.

I developed this guide for big dreamers who are in the early stages of bringing their big hairy audacious ideas to the entrepreneurial sphere. This self-paced guide is designed to prompt visionaries through grounding their ideas into comprehensive action-plans. The elementary design is intended to make this rather intimidating process more accessible and inviting to folks who are usually more fluid, rather than structured. It's been a joy to share this with folks who are seeking to bring their ideas to life. 

In the wake of George Floyd's murder, like many, I mobilized to use my talents to develop the Calling in Care project, an information design initiative for emergent response that helps citizens tap on appropriate emergency response care units rather than defaulting on the police. If we find ourselves able to help in crisis, it is our minimal responsibility to tap in the appropriate resources. This piece is specifically formatted to be easily sharable on social media and saved to one's phone for quick access.

I spent a month with a group of folks i didn’t yet know, untangling the history of the Black experience in America and our dissonant hand in oppression on a global scale.

We honored the particular becoming of Liberia, a relationship that goes un-noted in our history books. We met every nuance with tenderness. We began weaving a tether to Liberian people that only comes with historical context and deep care. We opened a portal.

This piece reverberates a few of the themes we explored, from Nat Turner & Co's rebellion, to Baltimore's resistance to Maryland's Colonization Society, to the Du Bois x Garvey debates, to the exploitation of Liberia's natural resources, and the power of archiving as a tool for collecting & uncovering ancestral memory.

Thank you to the powerful guides through this experience, Bilphena (IG @liberianjue_ ), Sho-Shana (IG @sheeggo ), and guest facilitators Savannah Wood (IG @savannahinpublic) & Solomon Adé (IG @_solomonade). New Generation Scholars is an essential beacon in Baltimore.

Dent Education is a youth innovation incubator committed to working with Baltimore's high school students to launch social ventures and help realize their vision for their community. 2023 was a year of substantial transformation, a fitting time to publish their first Annual Report. It was a joy to reconnect with the team and reimagine how they share the Dent story with the world. 

As people show up for Black Lives, Trans Lives, Palestinian Lives, Sudanese Lives, and Congolese Lives, I wanted to equip folks with the information they need to reduce risk and move responsibly. This infographic was informed by Baltimore Legal Action Team and Vision Change Win. It's critical for artists to partner with organizations already doing social impact work to amplify voices and share knowledge across the collective.
