-We, we the people.
This march for women, by women, it's just about being together and making art.
And this catharsis, you know.
This throwing up of emotion.
-Donald Trump has got to go, hey, hey ... -With Donald Trump's cabinet and policies, this is a moment in time when we absolutely have to come together and show that this does not represent what America is.
-This is what Democracy looks like.
And artists can show up to be like, no, no, no, we're not that.
We're this.
And we're this, and these are real stories.
I paint portraits of parents who've lost their kids to police brutality.
And so when I was invited to paint a parachute, it became a tremendous opportunity to really think how can I lift up these women that to me, we really need to be thinking about and caring about.
So my parachute features the mother and daughter of Korryn Gaines, killed by the Baltimore Police last Spring.
Underneath them, it says "Warriors of Love," to really honor how they stand as rocks of love for one another.
-We've been oppressed, we've been angry we've been silenced.
Now more than ever is a time to be louder, and be bolder, and be bigger than you've ever been.
Police brutality.
You know being told that climate change doesn't exist.
I really feel our communities and our stories are slowly dying.
-All of these issues are tied together and if we allow one person's human rights to go others will soon follow.
-This is what democracy looks like.
Historically, feminism has been a march and a movement that was moderated by whiteness and white comfort.
And I think all of us are really hoping that in this this iteration of feminism and so many women coming to the table that this is going to be different.
-No registry for you or me!
And that everyone is seen, heard and affirmed.
