Leta Harrison is a talented photographer with an unwavering passion for capturing the essence of her subjects and telling their powerful stories through her lens. Drawing inspiration from Kam Franklin's compelling journey, Leta embarked on a mission to uplift and inspire women who have been told to be modest and conform to societal expectations. Kam Franklin's influence: During Kam Franklin's riveting artist talk at the esteemed Carver Museum, she bravely shared her personal experiences of facing pressure to be more modest and being judged for her expressive style, often considered "too much." Kam's poignant recollection of the phrase, "Black girls don't wear red lipstick," struck a chord with Let, inspiring her to create this evocative exhibition. "Black Girls Don't Wear Red Lipstick" beautifully captures black women breaking free from the shackles of conformity. Leta's bold photographic prints showcase these women embracing vibrant colors and confidently wearing shades of red lipstick, symbolizing their rebellion against stifling stereotypes and societal constraints."
