“Sweeter the Juice” is an ongoing project recognizing and celebrating beauty in the darker hue. It stems from an old saying I heard growing up, the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Said as often in response to a negative comment aboutone’s skin color as much as referring to actual berries, it was a quick retort to take the sting out of being called black.

I am actively looking for new subjects to add to the project (which will become a traveling exhibition). Please contact us if you or someone you know wishes to be considered for inclusion.
