There’s too much shame in our society around our bodies, particularly critical of the black body, and I’m done with that. I want to remind the viewer that by confronting their fears about their bodies, it enables us to embrace everything that we are, as individuals and as a community, encouraging the practice and process of self-love. Shame is a social construct.
