As a fan of the beautiful game, you know that craft and community are just as important as physicality in our line of work. For the first time, Minnesota United has collaborated with local creative agency Modern Day Me to curate an artist collection specific to each of our themed games: Black Excellence, Mental Health Awareness, Pride, Native American Heritage, and Hispanic Heritage.

MDM curates artful environments and experiences to connect brands and businesses with local artists in an effort to build community impact and presence. It’s our privilege to collaborate with this organization and these brilliant individuals to promote the spirit of creativity, inclusion, and reflection. Each artist’s work will launch in conjunction with a select theme game, and their limited-edition work will be available exclusively at the Black and Blue Team Store. Check out the 2025 Artist Collection below to support awareness, artistry, and your favorite club all at once.

Influenced by her multicultural upbringing, she creates work that empowers and heals Black and Brown bodies. Through painting, drawing, digital illustration, and soft sculpture, she reimagines representation for Hawaiian and African American communities.

Her art challenges harmful portrayals by using symbols and imagery that connect viewers and inspire action against injustice. Themes of identity, the body, religion, fantasy, and Afrofuturism are central to her practice.

Her work spans the U.S., Canada, Africa, and Mexico, often through collaborative mural projects and events. Through acrylic, aerosol, traditional Native art forms, and dance, she explores contemporary Indigenous struggle as both personal expression and political statement.
