PAST AND PRESENT WORK

Community engagement is crucial in the artist's signature works due to her dedication to community involvement. Being a TSU alumna and a member of the Slim and Husky management team, the artist created her most impactful works. One notable example is the Slim and Husky's pizza box dedicated to Tennessee State University's Homecoming. This initiative not only serves as a vessel for delicious food but also as a canvas that celebrates the rich heritage and spirit of the university community.

The design of the pizza box, which reflects the essence of Tennessee State University, serves as a reminder of the institution's legacy and the importance of maintaining connections with one's roots. Such initiatives can enhance customer loyalty, as individuals are more likely to support businesses that resonate with their values and cultural identity through art.

In a similar vein, the Lipstick Lyrics mural stands as a powerful testament to women's empowerment through music. This mural features a collective of lyrics from female MCs and singers from the 90s era, a time when women in the music industry began to assert their voices and challenge societal norms. By showcasing these lyrics, the mural not only honors the contributions of these artists but also serves as an inspiration for future generations of women in music and beyond.

Both the Slim and Husky's pizza box and the Lipstick Lyrics mural exemplify how art and culture can be harnessed to foster community engagement and empowerment. By integrating local heritage and celebrating influential figures, these initiatives contribute to a broader narrative that values diversity and inclusivity. As communities continue to evolve, such projects will remain essential in preserving cultural identity and inspiring future generations.
