Roots Run Deep is a postcard series highlighting the beauty within black and brown neighborhoods within Los Angeles. Postcards for neighborhoods or for cities that have high concentrations of people of color, particularly black communities, are rare. For so long our communities have been dictated by outside narratives without understanding the raw and beautiful local history that HAS been reinterpreted over time. The gentrification of LA and many black and brown neighborhoods across the country requires us to document the history and culture of these neighborhoods and preserve them as well. With this postcard series I hope to uplift black and brown neighborhoods by using them for positive storytelling, appreciation, and A clear call to action to foster connections and community outside the digital world that we live in today.
