    paper BMORE Community Sculpture Presentation

    I designed a community-themed public sculpture as a tribute to hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying Baltimore citizens who resist the hate of naysayers, remain resolute about the city’s promise and continue to BELIEVE.

    I assembled a team including an architect, engineer, master builder and professional marketer. The video presentation was prepared for the Baltimore Public Art Commission bolstered by formal letters of support from my team members, but unfortunately was declined by BPAC.

    paper Harlem Tourism Board Green Apple Guide February Edition

    The Green Apple Guide follows the vision of Victor Hugo Green, a Harlemite who 90 years ago established The Green Book, a travel guide for African American motorists that identified accommodations, accoutrements and amenities available as safe havens as they traversed the highways as vulnerable motorists during the Jim Crow era.

    I am building a publication which will not only identify essential room and board as Mr. Green did, but also the wide range of entertainment, arts & culture, and historic sights and venues that give Harlem its character. The guide also provides an array historical trivia that is not trivial.
