“When you’re in a predominantly white area you have to hide your true self. We live in our own bubble. Sometimes we just want to break free and be unapologetically black. Being Black in Ann Arbor - here I unveil the black experience,” Jordan said.
Her vibrant art and murals have been featured at several events including A2 Summer Streets, Ann Arbor Art Fair, Westside Art Hop, Neutral Zone, Ypsilanti’s Riverside Arts Center and the Detroit Selfie Museum.
The exhibition kicked off on Aug. 17 with free entertainment, food and drinks, and members of the original Black Panther chapter in Detroit.
