Thank You!


Thank you to all who attended Celebrating Our Sons Through Words and Images . This Harlem exhibit will be on view through August 8th at the Adam Clayton Powell State Building Art Gallery. Our ARTIST TALK segment will be on Sunday, August 5th 3-6pm...



Front and center, 18yrld Christopher Evans who did most of the illustrations in my book, Message to a Youngblood. Beside him is his mother, photographer Pavan Carter who also was one of the participating artists...



The Program wouldn't have been complete without the youth themselves having their say...



Like I've said before, most youth books tend to follow the formula of 'experts' speaking to 'experts' or making the material so academic, so cerebral that it by-passes the audience it's intended to reach. I speak directly to my target population and by-pass the formalities...



One of the artwork on display. Come sit with us for ARTIST TALK Sunday, August 5th 3-6pm at the Harlem State Building 2nd floor art gallery. Wine and snacks will be served.
