As an educational provider and the author of the self published children’s book, “Kindergarten with Charlie”. Thamanai deals with themes of social anxiety and learning.

Artist Statement:
My work is motivated by my desire to tend to black Mothers and inspire them to create, embrace art and all it has to offer.Project Description:
I am looking to do a music and poetry project for adult audiences with an EP and a bonus chapbook to match the songs. Love is universal. Black love touches so many different groups and is not exclusive to black heteronormative couples. Black love is a haven from oppression and revolutionary struggle and it is not exclusive to any age either. Black love deals with family dynamics, friendships and romance.
