May 2021 - Present
In 2021, I conducted archival research and developed the most updated existing chronology about Beauford Delaney for the exhibition “Be Your Wonderful Self: The Portraits of Beauford Delaney.” The show was later declared the New York Times Critic’s Pick by Roberta Smith, the Times' co-chief art critic. Currently, I am working with artist estates and archives in Washington D.C., New York, Paris, and Brussels to create a chronology about Black abstract sculptor Harold Cousins for a forthcoming exhibition.

Currently in print, the 200 page catalog included essays and interviews from curators, community partners, and Breonna's family about the impact of her life and the conceptual process for the exhibition.
