a little about me…
Hi! I’m Lo. i am an artist who sometimes writes poems, makes films, takes photos, teaches a class, or whatever else art leads me to.
i always knew i would be an artist. first, it was a dancer, then an actor, then a writer, then a filmmaker, then a writer again. for a moment, i believed i had to choose one and master it.
growing up as a Black queer girl, i didn’t always feel there was space for me. writing opened up a world of language that gave me a home. It gave me what is possible when we call a thing a thing. when we give something language, a name, a context, we actualize it more and more. my artistic voice is the exploration and navigation of giving my Black girlhood language. we are not a monolith, so actualizing all our experiences by naming and providing context to our journeys is vital.
now, i use my expertise to help my community actualize through art. i collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations that want to provide sustainable arts programming, literary workshops, and art-driven social policy. i also make space for my artistic journey by bringing my creations to life with Gullah Gurl Productions. i honor that my mission is unique and is for me just as much as for my community.
learning to master one, taught me that i would rather be intentionally nuanced and intersectional. for me, being a student of my craft meant not limiting myself. this perspective illuminates spaces and opportunities for me to excel at all things that bring me joy.
my mission
to create art that promotes healing, self-awareness, and love.
my vision
to be of service to our individual and shared humanity. While creating collective and collaborative spaces that aid our global community in reflecting our highest possibilities.
