Over the course of 7 months, I photographed 25 women from different age ranges and hair types leading with the question "What does good hair mean to you". In the Black community having “good hair” means having long loose curls, not short “nappy hair”. Women who cut their hair close to their heads are seen as manly or unattractive leading many to believe that their hair is their only identity. Struggling not only with everyday upkeep of Black hair but also trying to be accepted by their community in the choices they make regarding how they wear it.

In March 2021 I photographed Rev Baums in Syracuse who got his vaccine during the first wave in NY. Coming from a generation where his family was greatly impacted by the Tuskegee Experiments, he talked positively and encouragingly about the Black community fear of doctors and how he hopes he can make a difference.
