I’m a self-taught artist, mother of two, and the proud founder of Bitter Darlings®, a Black-owned art brand rooted in empowerment, self-expression, and representation. My work celebrates the beauty and strength of women, femme-identifying, and non-binary individuals—through bold, vibrant creations and an empowering athleisure line.

 

As a Black woman entrepreneur and artist, my journey has been shaped by self-belief, resilience, and the desire to make a meaningful impact. I’m passionate about sharing my art with the world and creating spaces where others feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to embrace their power.
