At IDEAS xLab, we champion inclusion and belonging through creativity, art, and action, in support of a more healthy, just, and hopeful society. We’ve collaborated with communities in Louisville, KY; Breathitt County, KY; Natchez, MS; New Orleans, LA; Jackson, KY; Asheville, NC.

One Poem At A Time | In response to excessive predatory billboard advertising in the Smoketown neighborhood of Louisville, KY, nonprofit IDEAS xLab - through leadership by artists Hannah Drake and Josh Miller - replaced 30 billboards between 2017 – 2020. The initiative - One Poem at a Time - replaced predatory billboard advertisements in the historically African-American neighborhood with photographs of Smoketown residents paired with inspirational quotes and poems written by community members.   

As a queer photographer and storyteller, I’m honored to have shared the pride and stories of our community through publications including The Advocate Magazine and LEO Weekly.

Roots and Wings Senegal, West Africa

Over two weeks in July 2016, my partner Theo and I were honored to go with Roots & Wings - a group of Black artists and cultural organizers - from Louisville on a global cultural heritage and social justice exchange, exploring the linkage between West African arts and culture and Kentucky (yes, there are many of them).

The journey was life changing and profound.

Roots & Wings was an ArtPlace America supported initiative organized by Bridge Kids International and IDEAS xLab.
