East Bay Express: Best Of The East Bay 2016: The People Issue - "The People's Portratist"

Last week I had the pleasure of being featured in the East Bay Express's first "Best Of The EastBay : People Issue" edition for 2016. I was contacted by EBX writer, Sarah Burke, who wanted to do a feature on me for the following issue of the East Bay Express. It wasnt until she explained to me that I realized it was for the "Best Of The East Bay: The People Issue" edition which was unexpected.  Every time I do an interview describing the history of my project, I realize so much has happened in regards to my project and also the overall matter of police terrorism on black and brown bodies since I began this work at the beginning of 2014. It amazes me how far and wide these images have been shown around the world starting from the production of every single portrait on my computer.  "Justice For Our Live"s is a project that has had minimal financial support but given the accessibility of these designs online has allowed members of the community to freely use these images as a tool to push these conversations and to shape  our ideas towards racism and prejudice in the justice system. There are so many other movers and shakers out here in The East Bay that deserve recognition like this but its an honor to be  considered "Best Of the East Bay" by EBX. Thank You!
