My Sister Project
During in childhood days I live with my grandmother. I was
attached to her and quickly became the favorite. She instills lots of wonderful
life lesson that I carry with me even today. My biggest legacy that I take away
from my grandmother’s teaching is to, honor and respect Women!
I see how women are
vilified, especial black women. Stereotype were repeated in the news outlet,
our young men denigrated them in their songs, and society continue the
psychological and sometimes not so covert abuses.
Seeing all this has
cause a great outrage in me and wanted to do something to change things. So My
Sister Project was born.
I want to do environmental portrait of black women
performing their everyday chores. To capture their hard work, essence, and
soul! I want to be the voice for all
black women.
I want to show Black Women for who the truly are, strong,
reliable, hardworking and the backbone of our society!
Through this creative vision I want to capture your essence,
your soul your beauty! I want to be your voice. I humbly ask, PLEASE LET ME BE
YOUR VOICE!
Thank you,
Melvin
