Being a black woman in corporate America is like Fight Club. You must mold your personality to be palatable as a peach and keep your opinions to yourself.

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club!
Third rule of Fight Club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, your career is over.

Flying By The Seat of My Pants

I define my own identity and relish the opportunity to occupy the position of both insider and outsider rather than insider or outsider.

Meet Selfie Replicant

Selfie Replicant represents who I would be if I was a replicant in Ridley Scott’s 1982 cult classic, Blade Runner. Capturing the feel of the film it shows how my personality would emerge in the futuristic 2049 dystopia. Representing myself as one of the bioengineered androids found in the film I am revealing a hidden strength brought on by personal struggles within my own life. This selfie captures a side of me that is as potentially vindictive and powerful as it is dark and mysterious.

Powerful Super Selfie

I found a 48″x48″ red and blue drip paint canvas in the garbage over the holidays and painted over it with layers of gesso, acrylic paint, paper, tissue, glitter, rhinestones, plastic bottle caps and silk petals over the course of two months. 

She is black, blue and purple with a powerful smart mouth. She resists by persistently defying expectations.
