Creative Women Who Inspire Me
in New Work
I've begun a new personal series of creatives who inspire me. Poet Warsan Shire, Poet Rupi Kaur, and Artist Frida Kahlo are my first renditions. These women all inspire me on a level that is all-encompassing; their work stands for itself and is extraordinary, but I love their sense of activism, challenging ignorance and complacency, and making something meaningful from pain and turmoil.
Who inspires you?
