Black Playwrights Virtual Exhibit
In this exhibition, we explore a selection of particularly significant works that illustrate the evolution of the search for one or more artists, without necessarily following the entire path of the authors from a chronological scan. With this typology, the salient moments of the artistic evolution of an artist or of a cultural movement are thus retraced. Everything in the virtual exhibit is clickable, please enjoy!

Mural
In the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter Protests and Rights of Life Movements, myself and other artists from various backgrounds came together to commission a mural in the atrium of Frank Sinatra High School of the Arts with famous artist Lance Johnson.

Humanitarian Work
In Turrialba, Costa Rica, and Senegal, Africa, myself and other high school students, who we previously did not know prior to our work, shared a deep passion for helping others while volunteering abroad. Amidst our experiences of building school buildings in these illustrious places, we were able to ground ourselves in new cultures and perspectives while creating lasting bonds with the citizens and each other. Helping others provided us and those we assisted with lifelong fulfillment and guidance to a better world we wish to create for all humanity.
