Black Excellence: J. Yolande Daniels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Yolande_Daniels
J. Yolande Daniels (born 1962) is an American architect, designer and educator. She is a founding principal of studioSUMO, an architecture firm that speaks to socio-cultural landscapes through design.[2]
Daniels came to find her voice as a black woman, the figure she often found “objectified or negated in the approach to architecture.”[5] The highlights of her earlier works and personal research focus on the critiques on the techniques of power – gender, sexuality and race – and how these social structures shape the built environment in the form of architecture.[citation neede
