Empowered & Loved Form

Empowered & Loved Form

My name is Delayna Robbins, and I’m an artist creating a new series titled Empowered & Loved, which centers around the experiences of Black men. I’m inviting you to share your reflections on what strength, care, and affirmation mean to you, and how you want to be seen by the world.This project is a personal mission to honor Black men’s stories—celebrating resilience, connection, and belonging. Your voice will help guide my artwork, and there’s an option to participate in a video/audio interview or even model for a painting if you’re interested.Thank you for being part of this process. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
