Breaking the Bystander Effect

I recently attended a bystander training and wanted to share what I learned with all of you.

The blends of vibrant colors, diversity of Black femme faces and choices of texture all carry powerful messages. I chose bright colors like red, white, and blue, and expanded by adding oranges and purple. It was meant to reference patriotic pallets as well as african-american styles and feminine iconography. In the art, there are lots of different hairstyles and head coverings that Black women wear.
