Where The Skin Speaks:
Layers in Motion
Layers in Motion. Memory in Verse. Voice in Legacy.
What wasn’t allowed in textbooks found its way into poetry.
What couldn’t be diagrammed became motion.
And what colonial science refused to name—

This is not just art.
This is testimony, testimony with rhythm.
Each visual, each voiceover, each animation below is rooted in skin memory, Black survival, and ancestral intelligence.
The DECODED series lives here as layered expression—where skin is not a surface, but a site of protest, poetry, and prophetic resistance.

FEATURED POEM

and who I truly am.
This animation explores the spiritual skin barrier — the energetic force field of melanin-rich bodies that filters trauma, absorbs intention, and speaks protection
