Do What Makes You Feel Good

Art is the physical expression of our everyday thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It takes us out of time for hours to create, while bringing others together into a moment to reflect.

While my core work as a Postpartum Doula and CYC is focused on education and support; I feel it’s important to take time for my own mental health. I love painting with oil paints and have been painting since I was a kid. Recently I started exploring digital art and you can see some of the practice pieces I created on TikTok @Trustmeidontkno. Pieces may be landscapes because I really would rather escape the city and I love water more than living itself. Other pieces will focus on body positivity and may contain nudity. Some will focus on advocacy, education, and resistance - you simply cannot go into birth work without focusing on justice, and you cannot have a black femme artist and not expect radical perspectives. I hope as I add more personal pieces over the next year and onwards, you find pieces that resonate with you, and you feel inspired to create something for yourself.

Disclaimer: Art will not be added regularly as my schedule is inconsistent and artist’s block is a thing. You get what you get and you don’t get upset 🙃
