Angela Davies, Dora Akinyuli, Armanda Gorman, Nelson Mandela, Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie. This body of works, through the use of digital tools and traditional approaches, depicts information using significant symbols and attires from the Yoruba “Aso Oke", with the merging of the Igbo Nsibidi and the Ghanian Adinkra. Metaphorically, the flower, leaves, and long neck signify beauty and growth in the black community. There is light if only we're brave enough to see it and this should serve as a form of encouragement to every person out there to be courageous enough to celebrate their small wins, no matter how small it is, a win is a win.
