This painting was inspired by
bell hooks born 1952. She is a college professor and prolific writer, well known for her book
Ain't I a Woman? Black Women and Feminism inspired by Sojourner Truth. She has also written many children's books such as
Happy to Be Nappy and
Skin Again that celebrate children and people of color. This was what moved me to make this painting represent the spirit of educating children to bring an end to racism. What a great woman to use her life to pay attention to our children through education and empowerment to change the world.
