I first met Honour at a wedding she was doing the makeup on. I remember her leaving after she was finished and the entire bridal party talked about her for an hour after. They all had crushes on her and were stalking her social media. She has that impact on people. Not only is she beautiful, her heart is so loving and she alludes this magnetic power. I have had my own photo crush on Honour for years. I have dreamed of the day I would get to work with her. Mostly, because I wanted to get to know her more. This day almost didn’t happen, we got rained out once, then once we finally met up, more storms came rolling through. We were both determined to ride it out, we knew magic was going to be made. It was so wonderful hearing about her very full life as an actor, a comedian, and business owner. Her current business BrowOTR, a Microblading studio where we can make up for our 90’s brow mistakes. Beyond that, I have seen how giving she is to her community and loving she is to her friends. Everyone needs an Honour in their life. I am so grateful for this experience and so happy to have her in this project.

Coming September 2020, ‘Heart and Soul’ is a photo installation project that was created to elevate the voices of some of Cincinnati’s amazing Black Womxn. Commissioned by Artworks and funded by FotoFocus I worked with 8 youth apprentices to make mini murals created with painted photos that will be wheat pasted on Black Owned businesses around Cincinnati.
