Strange Fruit
Amplify Black Voices
Amplify Black Voices is a collection of my illustrations, along with written works by Black artists. Published in 2020, the goal was to draw attention to the Black Lives Matter movement and to give myself and my fellow artists a medium to connect through our shared experiences when the COVID-19 pandemic kept us isolated from one another. The magazine style book features written works by Jacob graham, Fenyang Smith, Genevieve Leighton-Armah, Kaylee Chie Kuehl, Kendra Austin, Shaquille Heath and Tina Wiley. Copies are available via Magcloud.
