Yes, so in the book I created, and in the exhibition text in the handout, at the beginning I wrote “I invite you to view the shape of each woman's body, and then read her story and hear her voice connect her form to all that it carries and holds and think of its future, and all that it deserves.” I think that is the thing that unites them; every body has a story. And everybody deserves so much. And every story deserves to be heard.

Giving that message to children, especially young black kids... that's my favourite thing in the world. That's what I want to do. I think a lot of it is because I never had any of this growing up. I didn't really have like any black role models and I just wasn’t exposed to them. I guess I just want to do everything I can for black people; everything I do is because of black people, my ancestors.

I’ve always been infatuated with the way jewellery can transport us back to a time and place or remind us of someone. I have such vivid memories of rummaging through my mum’s jewellery box as a child and being so fascinated with the stories behind each piece. I really believe jewellery has a story to be told and can carry an energy or hold a feeling. This Story implies the beginning of a tale. That’s how I feel when I send out my treasures to their new homes.
