With a background in Art History and Anthropology, Claire’s work lives at the intersection of creative expression, historical justice, and community empowerment. She has curated exhibits, led oral history projects, and developed cultural education programs that have revitalized neighborhoods and re-centered the narratives of Black, Indigenous, and diasporic communities.

For Claire, culture is not static—it’s alive, contested, and constantly reimagined. Her approach blends academic rigor with creative intuition, using tools like storytelling, photography, and installation art to preserve memory and spark dialogue.

What’s fueled her lasting impact in cultural preservation and arts activism?

Fierce dedication to historical truth and artistic freedom
Deep community collaboration and participatory methods
Passion for honoring ancestral wisdom in contemporary forms

Claire is also a mentor to emerging artists, historians, and community archivists—especially those from historically silenced backgrounds. She helps others claim their space in the cultural landscape and develop their voice as storytellers, educators, and changemakers.

Outside of work?

You’ll find her hosting storytelling circles, restoring family heirlooms, or walking through jazz-filled streets collecting textures, sounds, and spirits of the city.
