DARE TO BE YOURSELF

yes

yes you are right. there are no black people anywhere but in africa 

yes if you have ever seen a black person outside of africa they were probably an android *looks into the camera*

Don’t mind these african guys who worked as Araps (black guards) in Emperor’s Court since the times of Peter the Great in XVII c. (with the most famous one Abram Gannibal, who had 7 children, making one of them a great grandfather of famous Alexander Pushkin.)

17-Year-Old Black Artist Creates Viral Challenge to Draw Black Women in Cartoon Styles

Black Girl Long Hair writes:

By now, you’ve probably noticed a ton of these #stylechallenge photos being shared across social media. The concept is to recreate a self portrait in popular cartoon styles.

The tag was started a week ago by 17-year-old artist Autumn (@beautifulness87 on Instagram). Shortly thereafter, the tag erupted with artists of color displaying their skills.

Not only does this challenge allow many young artists of color to share their work, it also allows us to see blackness in cartoon styles that are not traditionally diverse. Check the #stylechallenge tag for more incredible entries!
