“My grandmother had this big, antique mirror that she let me keep in my room. I’d stand in front of it for hours, pretending to be my favorite artists: Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand. I’d listen to their records over and over and mimic them. I wasn’t thinking if my voice was good or bad. I was just enjoying myself. That was my escape. It was dark in that house. There were times I’d be sitting in a sunny spot, and a giant shadow would crawl across the floor. I’d watch it closely. I didn’t understand the meaning exactly back then. But somehow I knew: whenever there’s darkness, there’s light too. Behind the house there was a garden. It was a lush garden; my grandmother was a beautiful green thumb. I’d look at all the flowers. I’d study the shape of their leaves. I’d spend hours watching bugs. The house backed up to the Van Wyck Expressway. So I’d climb up in a tree, and watch all the people go by. I was just going through so much, you know. Horrible things were being done to me. Horrible, terrible things. So I’d use whatever I could. I’d pay attention to anything that made me happy. That’s one thing I can do: pay attention. It comes from something within me. We all have it. But you know, I tap into it. I still do. I just took a picture of a flower this morning. I’m so grateful. I’m telling you, I’m so grateful that I came out of the darkness. Maybe my journey wasn’t to make money or to be successful or anything. It was just to recover. I have children now. I have grandchildren. I love to bake. I’m an educated woman. I read, I write. I went to college in my fifties and graduated with a 5.0. My kids are proud of me. And I’m a great singer, too. In college the students would all beg me to sing. They’d say: ‘Torria, Torria. Sing to us, please.’ Just one song. That’s how much they loved my voice.”

I first learned about Tasheka Arceneaux-Sutton way back in 2015 when I interviewed Silas Munro. Since then, Tasheka has gone on to become one of the leading voices behind discovering Black people omitted from the graphic design history canon. Even design legend Dr. Cheryl D. Miller has sung her praises, so I knew I had to sit down with Tasheka and learn more about her remarkable journey.

Tasheka spoke to me about her experience as an educator and researcher, including an examination of her teaching philosophy. She also talked about growing up in New Orleans, her shift into design, working for the Navy Reservists, and even starting her own studio, Blacvoice Design. Lastly, she discussed her upcoming book Black Design in America, and shared how the different aspects of her work keep her motivated and inspired.

If there’s any lesson you learn from Tasheka, it should be this one: you have control over your own path as a designer, so work hard and you can make your dreams come true!
