"I always make it a habit to draw different shades, hair textures and shapes when it comes to drawing black anime women. This was actually my last piece for my Jujutsu Kaisen Redraws and I was working on the final details of it while watching the newest Savage X Fenty fashion show on Amazon Prime. I saw this beautiful model with vitiligo and was so inspired to make such a relatable and strong anime character with the same skin. My whole goal in life is for black women to be seen in this style of art and I'm so happy that some women saw themselves in this piece."

" I first noticed a physical change of my skin at the age of 8. I went to vitiligo treatment centers for a while until eventually I decided to stop going. Having vitiligo gave me more reason to embrace all parts of myself. I think of my skin as this armor that is a constant reminder of how brave and courageous I can be. The beauty that I see in myself and others, and the liberation of being externally unique, greatly impacts who I am as an individual. It is best thing I consistently learn about myself and especially this past year."

"A little something I did inspired by the many with vitiligo. This is from me to y'all." The beautiful imagery of this digital sketch is resounding as this queen wears her heart on her face as many of us living with vitiligo wear our hearts on our skin.
