Small Pieces of a Greater Whole (2022)
Small Pieces of a Greater Whole is about liberation, growth and creating your own mythologies. Surrounded by the words and wisdom of Audre Lorde's this work reclaims the power in womanhood and Blackness.
“To search for power within myself means I must be willing to move through being afraid to whatever lies beyond. If I look at my most vulnerable places and acknowledge the pain I have felt, I can remove the source of that pain from my enemies' arsenals. My history cannot be used to feather my enemies' arrows then, and that lessens their power over me. Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me. I am who I am, doing what I came to do, acting upon you like a drug or a chisel to remind you of your me-ness, as I discover you in myself.”
