THE LEAVING ROOM (Out Oct. 7th) 🖤🏳️‍🌈🫙

Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room--a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along.

my grandma passed yesterday morning from complications associated with dementia.

ONYX & BEYOND was inspired by my dad & his mom. we wrote it as a gift to her, to show what dementia can be like but also to highlight how Black families take care of & love each other.
