"This is a portrait of Deceased Bishop Hamel Brookins who was the 90 Elected and Consecrated Bishop of the AME Church. His Daughter, Francine Brookins was elected in July 2021 as the 141st Elected and Consecrated Bishop of the AME Church. They are the first-ever Father and Daughter Bishop. He Dad did not live to see her elected so, I put them together as she would have wanted her Dad to be present when she was elected. "

"My daughter is one of the strongest people I know. The last few years have been a season and I felt this was a way to honor our loved ones but also to shower my daughter with love from us and those men who influenced her life on earth and are keeping heaven warm-hearted… her Uncle Kimo, Her Father Rhon, and her Grandfathers Charles and Raul. This portrait is timeless and will be passed down through the generations to come…. Thank you and Aloha "
