"'Looking at [African art] from an American paradigm, particularly for children, some of the masks and art pieces might be intimidating, or even scary,' says Brooks. 'I love the idea of bridging that gap, showing what these images really represent: family, honoring loved ones who've passed away — things like that. To be able to connect these beautiful, universal themes represented by this African art to the act of a child being able to love themselves...for me, that's the greatest bridge between these two things. So kids can go into that gallery and really get the fullness of what was intended by the people who created it.'"
