In her series Frogtown to Victory, she used her large format camera to document the architecture and community of businesses and residences along the Martin Luther King Boulevard corridor. Once a thriving hub of Black-owned businesses, the construction of an overpass from I-16 to Montgomery Street in the 1960s directly impacted access to the area which negatively affected the prosperity of the neighborhood.
