Afrobella Logos: Naturally Inspired
One of the latest design projects I did was for a contest at one of my favorite blogs Afrobella.com. It’s a wonderful site that inspires women to embrace the true, natural essence of themselves, and has posts about beauty products, natural hair tips and issues, and touches upon other important topics affecting people of color. Afrobella, also known as Ms. Patrice Elizabeth Grell Yursik, had a contest to design the new logo for her blog, and though I found out about the contest late, I quickly came up with some designs inspired by the natural, powerful vibe that Afrobella represents.
Though I didn’t win the contest, she recently posted some of her favorite design submissions and gave me a little shout out.
Check out some of the designs I did above and below, and be sure to visit Afrobella.com for a breath of vibrant, intelligent writing and inspiration!
Women’s History Month Legends Celebration Inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s Legends Weekend
In 2006 Oprah Winfrey held her Legends Weekend, a three-day celebration honoring twenty-five African American women in art, entertainment, and civil rights. At the Legends Luncheon the young’uns recited a poem called “We Speak Your Names” written by Pearl Cleage. In college I was so inspired by Ms. Winfrey’s celebration to create my own Legends Celebration to honor women in the community and her example. (This is just one of the ways I’ve been inspired immensely by her).
The Women’s History Month Legends Celebration is an event I planned and hosted through my University and our community service organization Yellow Rose Society. It was a special celebration to honor women in the Miami area who have influenced young people through their works, as well as Legendary Women throughout history. We also invited local high school students to attend and be inspired.
Sponsored by the Yellow Rose Society, Wilyacins Event Planning and the University of Miami.
