About Sloan Hampton
Processing their undergraduate graduation and the anxieties attached to their impending law school tenure, Sloan Hampton sat on their bathroom floor and poured their thoughts into the void of his mobile notes app—cluttered with to-do lists and discarded class notes.
Inspired by the prose of Nikki Giovanni and Langston Hughes, the language of Toni Morrison and James Baldwin, and the sound of Brandy, James Fauntleroy, and Daughter, Sloan Hampton began laying the foundation for an artistic endeavor that would fuel them for the years to come.
