At the Brooklyn Museum, I saw parts of myself and my community reflected in the stories and artwork that center culture, identity, and resilience. Growing up in the Bronx, I’ve always been surrounded by creativity that comes from struggle and pride and walking through the museum, I felt that same energy. Whether it was the exhibits highlighting Black artists, or the contemporary pieces that challenged how we see race, gender, and power, I saw voices that are often overlooked being given space and respect.
