In continuation of our celebration of 100 years of honouring Black History, we focus on another person who showed us how to fight and not give up.
Built From Vision, Fueled by Legacy
Madam C.J. Walker turned beauty into an empire and opportunity into inheritance. She showed that wealth can be measured not just in success, but in how many doors you open behind you. She opened many doors.
Continuing in my minimalist mode, but keeping it current this month is dedicated to the people of Minneapolis who are holding it down for the rest of us. They have protested daily in resistance to oppressive tactics of the federal government. Congratulations on being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
A century ago, the seed of Black History Month was planted so the world would remember what it tried to forget. Today, that seed is a forest. These stories are roots, branches, and light.
A Dream That Refuses to Age
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words still walk beside us, steady and insistent. His vision bent history toward justice and reminds us that courage can be spoken softly and still shake the world. This never grows old.

Kerry Kennedy said “Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickaxe and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in?”
Kerry, I am holding the ladder for you, Sis.
She was talking about how the current person in the White House defaced the building that honored her uncle, John F Kennedy.

My artwork is a visual tribute to the richness, resilience, and beauty of African American history and culture. Each piece tells a story — honoring the past, reflecting the present, and inspiring the future.
Through color, texture, and symbolism, I aim to celebrate everyday Black excellence, ancestral strength, spiritual depth, and the voices that have shaped our communities for generations. These works are not just decorative — they are conversations, affirmations, and acts of remembrance.
Now available on www.ArtPal.com/uppcreative, my collection invites you to bring culture, history, and meaning into your space through original art that speaks from the soul.
