I wanted to show the history and strength of all kinds of black women. Working women, country women, urban women, great women in the history of the United States.

I have always wanted my art to service my people - to reflect us, to relate to us, to stimulate us, to make us aware of our potential. We have to create an art for liberation and for life.
