Queen Hope Poetic Art

Constant Charles Dejoie Sr.

2018

A portrait of Constant C. DeJoie Sr. by artist Queen Hope Parker of Where Y'Art, as commissioned by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune for its "300 for 300" celebration of New Orleans' tricentennial. (NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) "New Orleans of the 1920s wasn't short of newspapers. There was the Item, there was The Morning Tribune, there was The Times-Picayune, The Daily States, and others. What was missing, however, was a newspaper dedicated to representing the city's black community. That changed in September 1925 when prominent local businessman C.C. Dejoie Sr. and business partner O.C.W. Taylor founded what would become The Louisiana Weekly. Under Dejoie's leadership, the Weekly would go on to become a widely respected authority on civil rights issues, doggedly challenging Jim Crow laws, highlighting injustice -- and, in the process, providing a much-needed voice for New Orleans' black population."

Artist + Queen Hope Parker

I was born and raised in downtown New Orleans into a culture of cooking, music, dance, art, and crafts. My grandfather's hobby was visual art, my dad is a chef, and my grandmother sewed clothing; I freelanced all these talents. As a child, my father registered my siblings and me in dance and music classes. I attended McDonogh 35 Senior High, but due to Hurricane Katrina, I graduated from Westside High in Houston, Texas. After graduating high school, I moved back home and worked full time while attending Delgado, then William Carey for college prerequisites.

I later attended Dillard University School of Nursing in 2012, and I graduated in May 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently a Registered Nurse aspiring to become a Nurse Midwife. I also completed Doula training with Sista Midwife Productions in November 2014 and became a part of Birthmark Doula Collective shortly after.

People often ask, “What’s your focus?” This is an awkward conversation in one sitting. My focus is my belief. My art tells a story in the form of poetry. As an artist, I feel free to express my vision through creations not limited to sewing, painting, drawing, or craft. It all depends on the message I am sending. I dream of a world where we can live holistically in nature, health, and beauty. Originality and authenticity of species and spirit is my highest value. I am now working my way back into the art world to continue sharing this vision with the world.
