I tend to focus less on genre as a starting point and more on idea or intention and let the idea dictate genre.

As a brown artist, I have mixed feelings about my relationship to art and my "responsibilities" post-Trump.

Art can sometimes be separate from the artist.

It's exciting to consider how art, in its ability to reveal, can be ahead of the artist.

Of course, I can't separate my queerness from my brownness - if anything, my queerness amplifies my brownness, and vice versa - but I spent so much of my early twenties trying to erase my differences, often without awareness of what I was doing.

I have dedicated a significant portion of my time and artistry to making art that addresses various forms of oppression, including white supremacy, misogyny, and biphobia.
