An honor to be one of the inaugural #KennedyCenter Next 50 Fellows. To stand next to my chosen kin and comrades in the art world. To share laughter & silence & space & dreams with the likes of @maorikarmael @kamilahf @chinakahodge @jasonreynolds83 & our fearless brother @bamuthi360 will fortify my steps as an artist, curator, & Black woman. I am always honored to carry my mother’s picture to acknowledge the way she carried me forward all these years. There is no me without her. Her sacrifices. Her prayers. Her love. #next50 #kencen50th
