“We celebrate the ordinary extraordinary colored girl through the submission of art and artifacts which is significant to her experience,” DuBois said.
The vivid artwork displays everyday girls and their experience takes you through a wave of emotions from its brightness to the heaviness of the Black woman’s experience as a domestic worker whose hard labor often carried the family. This unique journey evokes an array of emotions which is exactly the mission, leaving you with a piece of nostalgia and a glimpse of colored girl pride.
