Role: Sr Art Director + Photographer

How can we elevate and celebrate the ways Black women deepened their capacity for love by being able to truly invest in themseves. Through resonant themes of community, sisterhood, and ease we weave a story that amplifies the importance of Black cultural expressions and safe spaces that cultivate her comfort, her rituals, and feed her shine.

While producting this work we were able to highlighting almost exclusively Black-owned beauty, appliance, apparel, and entertainment brands and utilize local film and productions crews and talent on location in New Orleans, LA.

Co-created by Juxtaposition young artists & Red Wing Shoes, two organizations shaped by community, working together to champion craft and creators.

Founded in 1995 and located in the heart of North Minneapolis, Juxtaposition Arts provides youth from marginalized communities a place to build their future through visual art and design. Four apprentices from the JXTA program partnered with Red Wing Heritage to draft creative concepts, design the collection, and create marketing campaign strategies.

Creative media studio, The Bureau was brought in to tell the story of this collaboration while mentoring JXTA apprentices on the process of photo and video production. The final result being a multi-channel broadcast, photo, digital, print, and billboard campaign.

How do we help turn Black Panther’s vision into a reality while uplifting community and encouraging participation in cultivating a world where we all belong?

By equitably empowering our youth to see their power and potential to affect change. Through this work, we were able to affirm and amplify the creativity of Black women who are focused and fearless in redefining what’s possible in the world and are inspiring the next generation of Black girls to dream, build, and lead in their own ways, with their own voice.

Like the tiger, we exist outside the bounds of mortality. We defy doubts, uncertainties and fears, we give life, empower, emancipate and prosper. Year of the Tiger reminds us we are most powerful when we move collectively; and to dissolve what doesn’t serve us and flow into what gives us life. Rest is power manifesting. And as the proverb goes, “A tiger that prowls lightly doesn’t mean it’s intimidated.” It’s time to protect and galvanize our energy in order to confront whats ahead. Let us build collective and personal fortitude. This is the year of the Water Tiger after all, pulling us into the depths of our psyches, forcing us to deal with our realities and the systems that oppress us, right before revealing the possibilities beyond that reality. Soon come time to wake the sleeping tiger; and beware the day they do.

A Drop of Sun is an exercise in imagining a future where Blackness and love are foundationally intertwined. Elements of this collection will feature a vintage soft aesthetic that allows the wearer to experience the depth and omnipresent virtue of Black ingenuity and its everlasting impression.

Alongside the collection, The Bureau partnered with ATMOS to release a series of four essays asking Black artists and writers to imagine Black futurity through rigorous exploration of abolition, radicalized environmentalism, and robust artistic expression.
