Raw, Black & Blue is a fictional love story chronicled through the journals and lens of Tamia, a photographer recovering from a mental breakdown. As she navigates reemerging trauma, her relationship with Keith, a community response member, becomes increasingly strained, leaving her hesitant to fully commit.

My goal is to use Raw, Black & Blue as an artistic tool in open forums for social justice, self care and mental health through literature, audio storytelling, photo exhibition and film.
