Aim: Celebrate Black love and embody the experience of the lead character of Akwaeke Emezi’s Sunday Times Bestseller; a black female artist on a healing journey. 

Audience: Black women 20s+ 

Client: Faber Books 

Partner: Dark Matter Marketing 

Artistic Solution: Drawing on my own experience, I presented on the power of engaging in art to support self-discovery, self-love and acceptance. I then created a joyful environment to foster free expression, and encouraged guests to create artworks that reflected the meaning they’d taken from the book and cover art.   

Workshop date: May 2022
