Yes - I do strategic and policy-aligned work
And - I am deeply committed to the practice of art as research.
My research examines how racialized folx use fashion, self-styling, and performance to narrate lived experiences, resist imposed narratives, and reimagine futures. Through a scholarly and creative lens, I explore how clothing and visual culture reflect and reshape our social, political, and historical conditions.
As a textile and fashion facilitator, I use sewing techniques and clothing stories as tools to foster community connection, cultural exchange, and personal storytelling.
On @Hypervisuality , a digital archive inspired by my Master’s research, documents how Black woman use fashion, performance, and visual culture as tools for storytelling, resistance, and cultural memory. Grounded in academic inquiry and lived experience, this platform extends my research beyond the page into a curated, visual dialogue.
This work is not separate from my strategic or curatorial practice, it informs how I evaluate programs, design engagements, and advocate for cultural equity.
Selected themes explored on this page:
Dressing as resistance
Fashion archives and memory
