Why did you make this work:
In watching the George Floyd trial unfold, like many Americans, I was incredibly disappointed and discouraged by the racism and abuses to black and brown communities in America. I wanted to create a utopia where people of color could live without fear, just as they are. I dreamt of a future where freedom existed without unconscious biases and violence.
