The Heart and Soul wheat paste pieces are mini photo murals hanging all over Cincinnati. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter Movement. I photographed 18 amazing Black Womxn with the intention of elevating their voices and to add inspiring images to the community. I asked 8 youth apprentices to collaborate with me by adding their own art to the images. The finished pieces have been wheat pasted throughout Cincinnati. I am grateful to Artworks and FotoFocus for making this project possible. I am especially grateful to all of the amazing Womxn who shared their stories with me throughout the project.

My collaborators who added design elements to the pieces are Izzy Chinchilla, Jessi DeNoma, Hafsatou Diakho, Shawn Kuchenmeister, Destine Laudat, Elizabeth Poselski, Rory Walsh, Myles Williams, and Chris Harrison.
