“Three days was not enough to capture the depth of the contemporary diasporic artists at the Harlem Fine Arts Show. From the self-fashioning of the keynote speakers and the artists themselves, all the way to everyone on the production side of the event, the atmosphere was cohesively inspiring down to every fine detail. Despite the industry’s size, the accessibility of these creators made it easy to connect with their life’s work; I am excited to keep networking and staying in touch with the many artists that I had the privilege of meeting this weekend. This is a must for any creative wanting to experience and learn about the diaspora in style—I already have next year marked on my calendar.”

I am proud to serve on the board of the TQR Last Dollar Scholarship Fund, where we provide students with the final financial support they need to reach graduation.
Our approach to fundraising is anything but traditional. In 2025, we hosted an art show showcasing two incredible talents and organized a curated group trip to Portugal. The journey was defined by beautiful landscapes, great wine, and even better company. We are committed to making a difference by doing things differently.
