My art career often feels less like an art career and more like a career in educating, usually by using my body.

I think white artists have a responsibility to be not only naming white supremacy, but to be using their power and privilege to support artists of color.

I do use art as a site of protest, particularly in relation to dominant narratives.

I continue to explore poetry.

As a general rule, I tend to collaborate with artists whose work I admire.

Making music has been connected to one of my greatest heartaches, because my own music has never quite connected with audiences. But it was this heartache that pushed me to explore other artistic avenues, like writing and filmmaking, and I ultimately feel most at home in a multidisciplinary environment.

Despite the fact that I'm not highly skilled in any visual art, aesthetics have always played a strong role in my art, including my first albums.
