I honestly cannot believe its December and nearly Christmas already! I literally do not know where the time has gone, it's come around again so quickly. Today whilst doing some design work in my trustee onesie and sipping on peppermint tea I thought to myself, I wonder what Santa would look like with an afro lol (yep - real thoughts of a lady in her mid twenties).
I've never believed in Santa even when I was little, but I thought even though Santa is a figment of my imagination, I would like to see an image portrayed that I could at least relate to, so I drew my own. Ladies & Gents I introduce this illustration called 'Santa Baby', her name is Nicole, and if she were real she would spread her fabulous style and confidence to women every where and deliver us shoes from Zara, Aldo and Christian Louboutin.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that representation is so important, and if you don't see yourself represented in something, do your best to be the change you would like to see,no matter how small.
So from now on in my mind - Santa will be a fabulous black girl with a fro - YASSS!! :) :)
