Nwanyị oma “Beautiful Woman,” is an ode to Nigerian womanhood, dark skin, tall frames, and the kind of beauty that doesn't always get celebrated. It's also an ode to me. After years of self-hatred, this series is the place where I am reminded to love myself unapologetically.
Adamma means "beautiful first daughter," was me figuring out my point of view. She's the first drawing in this series of four. Semicircles in the top and in the hair, with bright colors that reflect my love of color and the playfulness I bring to my personal style. Starting a series is always a little uncertain.
