Beverly Price is a native of Washington, DC resident. In 2014, she created a local clothing brand called Kemet in order to find stimulating ways to teach African Americans about their great, but often under acknowledged history. Ms. Price is a compassionate supporter of gentrification issues and is dedicated to informing those around her of the effects this has on African American culture and communities. Ms. Price uses clothing, photography, and street art to creatively teach these issues to her community. But prior to starting her “Artivistism” (as she likes to call it), she spent a great deal of time wondering where her life was headed. In 2002, when she was a senior at Dunbar Senior High School she was sentenced to 5 years in prison and didn’t return home until she was 23 years old. This life changing experience helped her to decide to do better for herself and her community. Ms. Price is a regular contributor of Barry Farms, Congress Heights, and the whole historic Anacostia. She is also a recipient of The Smithsonian’s James E. Webb Scholarship.
