Memphis, TN
I was born in Memphis, Tennessee. I was raised by my single mother. I grew up as young girl whose heart has always been filled with love and imagination. As a little girl, I would always look at my mom and admire how the sun kissed her dark skin so softly. She always would tell me that my skin was just as beautiful as pearls, and I grew up knowing that I had beautiful skin. It wasn't until I had hit the age where I could attend school when I noticed that not everyone thought that my skin was beautiful. I would get teased, bullied, and made fun of repeatedly. Everyday that I woke up, I hoped that the color of my skin had brightened. It came to a point where I didn't want to take pictures or look in the mirror because I was so ashamed of my complexion. As I grew older, I started to worry less about what people thought about me and focus more on self love. When I discovered that I had a talent for art, I decided that I would base my art on the beauty of my complexion.
