Throughout history, art has always been a gateway to express many of our deepest emotions.

I couldn't be prouder of my city to recognize local #Charlotteartists to create a visual representation that help illustrate the feelings of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Black Lives Matter to me. I have been teaching my children to love but love is not enough. I am teaching them that Black Lives Matter. You matter to me. My friends, neighbors and clients, you all matter to me.

✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I continue to support you in this movement. I love that Charlotte is making initiatives to support you as well. Each letter was designed and created by a different artist.
