Statement

Jackson explores imaginative narratives with the character Johnnie Mae King; a mid-century Southern woman. A Black woman who leverages the power of her imagination to travel through time, becoming the subject of what would be seemed as unlikely extraordinary happenings.

Imagine a multiverse of gods, superheros, and villains, that exercise great exploits among mortal humans. But when one mortal rises from the obscurity of the past… and discovers that her existence extends beyond her physical circumstances and realities, she becomes a part of the pantheon of the gods–even if only in her mind. This is a story of Johnnie Mae King.
