I wasn’t aware of everything Nipsey Hussle was doing before his passing. Before doing a portrait of him I wanted to learn more about this incredible figure that everyone was mourning. Nipsey was not only a celebrity/rapper but someone who used what gain he received to give back to people from all over the world, empower youth and work on changing the narrative surrounding his community. He was a true symbol of positivity, living in community and lifting while you climb. Rip @nipseyhussle ✨🙏🏾💙
“Let’s get free of the idea that we can’t go after our dreams because of how we look, where we come from, who we love or how old we are. We all have gifts and we can either lock into those gifts or act like we don’t exist. You can’t live your dream if you don’t go after it.” - @lenawaithe ✨👏🏾 || long overdue @lenawaithe portrait , piece by me
Ive become really interested in package design - especially for beauty products - love seeing the different ways items are presented to the consumer. For @drunkelephant their packaging fairly simple but I can’t get enough of their vibrant colors, especially seeing all of the products side by side. Thank u @drunkelephant for these goodies - my skin is thriving. ✨✨🐘#gifted

’The “Angry Black Woman” stereotype is making it near damn impossible for Black women to access mental health care,’ another illustration I created for @hellogiggles’s “I Rise” series in which black women writers examine black women’s mental health - from what it takes to access treatment, to the exchange of trauma across generations. Follow the 🔗 in my profile to read all of the articles in this series. ❤️
I’m all about supporting other creatives so was thrilled to create a couple pieces for @micaelaverrelien / @blackgirlchurch - check out the rest of the photos and details about the upcoming documentary on @micaelaverrelien’s profile ❤️❤️❤️
