Artist‘s Statement
Just a Jamaican/American girl trying to share my unique experience with the world. I love that I was able to grow up with two cultures, and the combination of them is what makes me who I am. I am able to write about the intersections of my life, being a Black, child of an immigrant in America, and being a naturalized Jamaican, and compare and juxtapose the two. My background is what made me the writer I am, and I love being able to show that in my work.
