I am honored to be selected as the representing artist of NYC’s first Freedom Week. I will be doing the portrait of former child soldier turned hip-hop artist and activist, Emmanuel Jal.

About Freedom Week:
Freedom Week is a coalition of abolitionists working to raise awareness about the 27 million people currently enslaved and/or trafficked here in the U.S. and abroad. Our goal is to fight modern-day slavery by inspiring action and providing opportunities for advocacy. Contemporary slavery can be abolished. It begins with one person investing in freedom.
