This series of works bask in blackness as everyday diasporic phenomena and traverses, through the body and movement, what a diasporic orientation offers us as a guide towards individual and collective restoration.The purpose is to sustain practices of togetherness and solidarity by centering lived experiences and movement as fertile and effervescent resources.

Jesus & Egun works from the premise and concept expressed by Dr. Nzinga Metzger that "Jesus is an overworked ancestor (egun),” and we must look to all our ancestors and practices on the continuum to move into states of restoration. I am specifically looking at 3 states of being that include the Mothers of the church, the transcendent human potential in the social dance form House, and matrons of Yoruba spiritual practice.
