This is the 5th piece of my 'Freedom' Series. This piece explores the joys and empowerment that can come with learning. Sometimes learning the truth can be a daunting and sorrowful task, but it is essential for understanding ourselves and the world we live in. For this piece I wanted to focus on education within a small handful of the diverse identities Black American experience. Afro-Arab, Afro-Latino, Black American/Carribean American, and Individual with a disabilities. I hope to add more to this piece as time goes on.
