We Do This 'Til We Free Us, 2021
|
My artwork is on the cover of Mariame Kaba’s first book, We Do This ‘Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice, released in February of 2021 and now a New York Times Bestseller. The book is a compilation of Mariame’s essays, interviews, talks, and a few unpublished pieces. The book is published by Haymarket Books and was edited by Tamara K. Nopper.
I am so honored that Mariame asked me if she could utilize this artwork for the cover. Of course I said yes in a heartbeat. The original artwork was from a limited postcard series called #MariameTaughtMe, inspired by her own words of wisdom and sold to benefit various abolitionist organizations in Chicago between 2016-2020. We sold over 1,000 postcards! I also created some limited edition button designs in collaboration with Mariame to celebrate the book release.
