"Division: Skin Complex" was inspired by daily observations and frustrations. From being overwhelmed with constant social media posts that promoted the division among African Americans to walking across the campus of my historically black university and listening to the perpetuation of light-skin versus dark-skin stereotypes. This piece speaks to the essentiality of unity in the diverse and beautiful black population.
