What is the most important life lesson that you want to teach your daughters?

They are such beautiful strong ladies. My goal has always ben for then to be themselves. To be who they are and to stand by what they believe in.

How do you see yourself in your daughter’s artwork?

They make their unique own style. The focus on the strong black woman is something we have in common.

What do you value most in your life?

I think it is very important to stay true to yourself, value your own worth, that will result in being a loving and healthy person, you will value family, people in general, nature.
