What No One Can Take Away From You

A wordless comic about making art as self-affirmation

I'm at a loss for words this week, so I drew a wordless comic. It made me feel better and made me think of self-affirmation as a powerful act in daily life, no matter how small.

I also revisited these words from Maya Angelou that I often need to hear again and again. I hand-wrote them down and sketched her image in 2014 as a note-to-self.

Maybe old wisdom can still prevail. Happy Juneteenth.
