Michelle

What can I say about Queen Michelle aside that I adore her endlessly, that she is flawless #BlackGirlMagic who serves #SouthSide realness , unbothered #grace and unshakeable confidence wrapped in intelligence and wisdom? Perhaps my favorite part of the Obama era was seeing her in brown-skinned radiance, moving with ease and being herself, unashamedly. Her willingness to be purely herself was a balm and a boost for Black women, who were long tired of having to bend and twist themselves into shapes and appereances to seem more "palatable", only to be rendered invisible. Michelle is the one I would love to meet, to get one of her signature hugs, to laugh with, to listen to her advice. She is the woman who can move with ease between a backyard cookout and a state dinner with world leaders. This portrait is a bit of a departure from my typical #Inkscapeportraits because, well, it's #MichelleObama. Long live the #queen!
