[2/3] “I’m making history now. I think that within the space that I occupy there aren’t many African Americans, especially within a newer, contemporary space. Within that frame, I wanted to create African-American characters that were just for African Americans that felt like us and had that authenticity. There are certain works that I do that are very current and of the moment, but I think what I would like to be a centralized theme or thing to put in the forefront is the power of the black central figure. You know, creating my own sense of iconography.” – Hebru Brantley #WorthTelling
