Drafted as an acrylic painting at first, I created this illustration through a physical painting out of inspiration of what it feels like to be and experience black joy. Being in the black community I feel like the entertainment industry is constantly showing films of black people through struggle of our historic culture, and social injustice. I didn’t really know what I would end with making this peace at first; as a creator I sometimes feel a soulful connection through my past ancestors as a guide.
