Let's cut to the chase, I GOT ART IN WALT DISNEY WORLD Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! Wow, a theme park ๐ฅบ๐ฉ๐๐พ
The piece, titled โThe Black Familyโ is located in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World (FL)
There's a bunch of reasons why this project is extremely special to me and it's truly a full circle moment:
2012: I did a professional development program with Disney where I worked in FL at the park for months. I worked in food and beverage, and I couldn't understand how dropping fries straight out of college with two degrees was going to get me closer to my creative career path lmao. God had a plan though.๐ค๐พ
2013: With Disney on my resume I landed an internship at Walt Disney Imagineering, which is what brought me to the west coast. I thought THAT was the "full circle" moment. Again, God knew. ๐ฅน๐๐พ
God really spun the block for me and made it crystal clear why those experiences were needed. The same people that I worked with during my time at Imagineering brought me on this project.
Icing on the cake: in all my Disney experiences I never saw US, I never really went to the parks as a child, never really saw us reflected anywhere. So it was important for me to create what I want to see at Disney World.
I want us to see us, I want to see Black families in a special light. I thank God everyday for the gift I have to create it. This is so incredibly special to me and I hope when yโall hit the park you feel it too. ๐น
Special thanks to Disney and the team at Imagineering for tapping me for this, means the world. I'm gonna go cry now. Bye ๐ค๐พโ๐พ
