I use restorative art to uplift stories and empower youth through restorative art, cultural identity and visual expression. My work invites communities-especially those often unheard-to paint their truth. Shaped by early exposure to grief, incarceration, addiction, and the weight of toxic family dynamics, I found my voice through art-and now, as a community educator, I create spaces where others can reclaim theirs.
I’m a trauma-informed teaching artist and muralist from Oakland, California. My work integrates storytelling, identity, and healing—particularly for justice-involved and BIPOC youth.
