Black Lives Matter
August 13, 2020In response to the recent killing of George Floyd as well as of countless other innocent Black people, I have decided to use this platform to sell my art to support the Black Lives Matter movement. I never intended to capitalize on this nor seek popularity; I just wanted to put my talents to use to support a cause I believe in.
By selling 4x6 prints of my film work, I donated 100% of the proceeds to The Innocence Project. I received numerous orders and a few donations and to this date, over $200 was raised to help exonerate innocent through DNA testing and reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.
This sale is not a promo; it is ongoing. This movement is not a trend; it is a reality for all Black people.
We, as white people, cannot just watch from the sidelines anymore. We all need to be active participants in the daily fight and use our talents to amplify Black voices, better the Black community, and support the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
