Its beauty was something to marvel but when coloring in my books, hardly ever could I find crayons or markers that could represent its range. I used almost every color in the box and still couldn’t capture its beauty. With this piece, I was inspired by my childhood, finding crayons and trying to show just how colorful we are. As a black woman, I believe it’s important to share my experiences with finding my identity through my art — this is how it all started, using every crayon in the box because a singular brown just wasn’t good enough. It just so happens that red, green, and black were the first colors I used as an alternative — the colors of the Pan African flag. Just Fanni. Chicago born and raised.”
