# The company was started by my great uncles.

They were immigrants looking to provide for their family and so they picked a#craft.

Why not flowers?

[Sewing machine whirring] I want Black people to see something that speaks#to them about where they came from.

I consider silver the most beautiful metal much#more beautiful than gold.

In my work, I try to make silver dance with lights.

I learned how# to make pop-up books that are incorporated with my photographs.

It just seems like magic.

My first#introduction to art was graffiti.

And so I started to draw and paint.

The work I do is primarily representing the community that I come from.
