In 2024, I created this documentary photo series in honor of my grandmother during my time as an Artist in Residence at the Democratizing Racial Justice Project. It celebrates the continued legacies of land stewardship in Afro-descendant communities across South Texas, Western Cuba, and La Costa Chica de México.
