Eclipses have fascinated humanity for thousands of years. The sun is something we see every day, yet when an eclipse happens, its power suddenly becomes impossible to ignore.

With Solar Eclipse, I use that moment as a metaphor for my experience as a Black woman.

As Black women, we are often encouraged to dim ourselves to change the way we dance, dress, speak, create, or express our femininity to make others more comfortable.

For me, music, dance, fashion, and movement are deeply connected to my Jamaican heritage. They are expressions of ancestry, freedom, identity, and power.

Solar Eclipse is about reclaiming that power and reminding women that we don’t have to make ourselves smaller to be respected or accepted. It is also about healing through movement reconnecting with our bodies, our expression, and the parts of ourselves we were taught to suppress.

Our worth comes from within.

The sun doesn’t disappear during an eclipse. It simply becomes impossible to ignore.
