Each piece reflects a journey toward freedom—not just from the literal bondage of slavery, but from the inherited trauma, imposed limitations, and systemic erasure that continue to affect Black bodies and minds. Through layered symbolism, rich textures, and Afrocentric imagery, I invite the viewer to witness moments of healing, remembrance, resistance, and joy. My use of color, form, and pattern is deeply intentional, evoking both ancestral memory and future possibility.

Title of Piece: Birth Sounds: From Roots to Realm - 2

Dimensions: (4) 8’x4’ panels

Medium: Acrylic paint on panels

Connection to theme and project: Reflecting what the project symbolizes

Description of Work: 4 mural panels each 4’ x 8’

Each piece is a symbiotic representation of what All Our Babies events were about. They represent reconnecting with our ancestral past and moving towards evolving into the future. The drums represent the tool we use to inform or send out a message of creation and new beginnings. They represent where we came from and where we are going. Also, Overcoming adversity and spiritual enlightenment.

We’re honored to have All Our Babies: Birthing in the Afrofuture featured by WEWS News 5 Cleveland in a special segment highlighting the power of community care, Black maternal health advocacy, and Afrofuturist creative expression.

Reporter Remi Murrey joined us on site at the Prolific Oxygen Dome to hear directly from lead artist Jameelah Rahman, strategic visioning partner Errin Weaver, and site founder Aharon Ben Keymah. Together, they shared how this initiative uplifts Black birthing people, connects generations through storytelling and art, and builds futures rooted in joy, justice, and healing.

Children sit on grass listening to a speaker. Signs read, "Yesterday, We Dreamed of Tomorrow." People gather around a table, creating.
