A year ago I begin my families archive in my grandparents basement. In February after I moved some things around, my Grandfather made a place for me. A table where I could spread out my things.

One day he came downstairs and said, "You got all these photos where they belong and together." That made me smile.

Tomorrow is my Great-Grandmother Annett's Birthday, in her honor I wanted to celebrate what she taught me. To love abundantly in all ways that I know how. To continue to grow in love when it gets hard. And most importantly to share your love with others beyond the special days and put the photos on wall to let them know that you care.

They say if you want to find out what you're supposed to be doing for the rest of your life, go find a childhood photograph. Here's me at age 6 or 7 looking through my parent's wedding album. Look familiar?

My name is Sierra King and I am in pursuit of Building Archives for Black Women Artist.

Building archives for Black Women Artist has historically been a task for archivist of many institutions and organizations long after the artist has completed the work.
