The Core Process
Our Modern Quest
I named my business Gray Matters More, LLC. because gray matter is the brain’s information processor—it drives our thinking, memory, emotion, movement, and sensory perception.
We are all born with a natural spirit of curiosity. My quest is to encourage people to utilize their gray matter to question what they were taught and seek out unbiased, accurate truths. Through graphic design and podcasts, my business serves as a guide to helping people recognize and address their implicit biases.

The Gray Matters More t-shirt isn't just a slogan—it is a strategic prompt designed to inspire curiosity and spark meaningful conversation.

The Original People T-Shirt Designs
The Original People design is inspired by the scientific fact that Africans were the first humans to walk the Earth. Yet, Africans and the African diaspora remain among the most persecuted groups in the world. African history has frequently been whitewashed to minimize its global contributions, often portraying the continent as underdeveloped while ignoring its rich pre-slavery history in science, education, architecture, sanitation, medicine, and culture. This bias is clearly reflected in how some African and African American history is taught—or omitted—in educational institutions.
​Genomic research shows that all modern humans share a common ancestral origin in Africa, concluding that Africans are 100% homo sapiens (Human). As homo sapiens migrated, interbreeding with other hominins occurred outside of Africa, leaving non-African populations (Europeans and Asians) with roughly 1% to 2% Neanderthal DNA today.
DESIGN 1 — FRONT
Design 1: The front of this shirt presents the authentic truth regarding the origins of humanity. The back raises a central question: If we all originated in Africa, why is African history so distorted? This design prompts wearers and viewers to consider the ongoing impacts of colonization and societal bias while encouraging research through accurate, credible sources.
DESIGN 1 — BACK
Design 2: The second variation delivers a bolder message. While the front remains the same, the back asks a fundamental question: If all human populations share an ancestral origin in Africa, is the marginalization of African peoples a scientific anomaly or a social construct built to privilege certain groups over others?

The FragilitY Factor T-Shirt Design
This artwork is inspired by feminist movements and the ongoing struggle against patriarchal structures. Patriarchal systems, policies, and beliefs continue to deny women equal rights and opportunities, even though all people are inherently equal. These rigid social structures also reinforce male fragility, as men are often conditioned from a young age to view equality, vulnerability, or independence in others as a direct threat to their own status.
And, as you delve deeper into male and female biology, we are reminded that females have double XX chromosomes and males have an X chromosome and a YÂ chromosome.

The graphic image illustrates the fundamental reality that we are all human—regardless of gender—and deserve to be treated as equals. It calls out the social conditioning that prevents some men from accepting women as equal partners in society.
