Flo Jo is part of the Collection of 2D paintings about heroes. As the project extrapolates element of modern African-American culture. The show takes artwork and pattern and places that artwork within a broader context of what it means to powerful or heroic. .

The work  is ultimately about the swagger of heroes. Its ask questions, “Did the heroes that garnered your admiration as a child look like you? “I always want viewers to be open to acknowledging and learning the roles Black Americans have played in real life heroic stories throughout American history. When diving deeper we can look at Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass as patriots. We’ve been conditioned to think our heroes are only of a certain race.
