My artwork contemplates the day-to-day lived realities of marginalized identities. Although I use both acrylics on canvas and graphite on paper within my work, I use these different mediums to express the same underlying messages. I aim for viewers to interact with my work and see parts of themselves within the subjects of the drawings and paintings, regardless of the differences between their personal identities and the subjects portrayed. As a black-identifying person of colour, it is extremely important for me to see people of colour represented in the visual arts. Moreover, through my artwork, I strive not only to have representation that is visual, but emotive as well. My work is largely a reaction to the micro-aggressions that minorities face. The build-up of negative emotion-inducing experiences is often repressed by individuals and largely undermined in a broad societal context. The harshness of lines and boldness of colour within my work is a call against this silence while the softer elements and indistinct transitions between tones shed light on the complex and often difficult to work through emotional experiences of minority groups. Through the contrast in colour and shape within my artworks, I mirror the multi-faceted nature of the everyday experiences of minority groups. As well, combining various textures and varieties of realism within pieces draws attention to the varying levels of one’s true emotion and experience shared with the world and community around them. These artworks invite viewers to reflect upon the extent to which they allow themselves to be vulnerable and honour the validities of their struggles in a world of systemic suppression.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1005/thumbnail.jp

Improving the Professional Capacity of Campus Administrators at a Multi-Campus College
The institutional knowledge gap for campus administrators (CAs) across a multi-campus college is the Problem of Practice (PoP) to be addressed in this Organizational Improvement Plan (OIP). A multi-campus college has initiated a new professional development review (PDR) for CAs to improve professional excellence across the organization. The PDR launched to identify professional development needs for college managers, to improve operational efficiency, and to help the college achieve its strategic goals. CAs shoulder the responsibility for the campus-level implementation of college policies and procedures which necessitates a firm understanding of college operations and effective leadership and management skills. When there are knowledge gaps, there is a risk of inconsistent application of college directives across the campuses. Creating learning opportunities for both new and current CAs would lead to strong PDR outcomes, improved professional capacity, equitable access to learning, and consistent campus operations. The principles of social network theory in conjunction with team and transformational leadership will guide the development of solutions to address this PoP. Developing both formal and informal learning opportunities can create an organization that supports and grows the professional capacity of CA team. Therefore, an onboarding program coupled with a networked learning community is proposed to increase professional development opportunities for CAs. The implementation of the change initiative at the college will be guided by the change path model and the plan-do-study-act cycle. The outcomes of this OIP can be extended to other college department managers and other multi-campus educational institutions
