Went to Bahamas for my birthday trip. I’m really grateful for the relaxing experience I got. [ID: An animated drawing of a turtle wearing a party hat. It looks at a tiramisu cake with a birthday candle on it. Bahama mama drink sitting behind the birthday cake at a diagonal position. The turtle is green with a true blue eye color and pink colored lips. The turtle is wearing a dark purple party hat on its head with metallic gold polka dots and a metallic gold pom-pom on top of the hat. The turtle is smiling at the cake while its right arm reaches towards the cake. The tiramisu cake and tiramisu powder surrounding it sit on a white dish. The candle is true blue and is being lighted up. The color of the Bahama mama drink is a mix of red and pink. A clear plastic straw sits in the drink. Five presents sit on the left side of the turtle. Three balloons float on the left side of the turtle on top of the gifts with the first and third balloons shaped like hearts. Four other balloons float on the right side of the turtle with the last balloon shaped like a heart. Seashells scatter all over the sand at the beach and surround the turtle with its birthday cake, gifts, and balloons. Islands from both sides of the picture sit at a far distance from the turtle on the blue ocean. The sunset starts from royal blue on top, salmon pink, sunshine yellow, and scarlet red on the bottom. Seashells, balloons, and gifts are in different colors.] #Bahamas2k21 #🇧🇸 #CaribbeanIsland #Atlantishotel #21yearsold #August17 #Relaxingexperience #Beachscenery #Beachartworks #Birthdaygifts #Birthdaycake #Birthdaycelebration #Animateddrawing #Illustrations #Strokesofthepaintbrush #Shefalisahay (at Atlantis Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2moLrJXE5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a relaxing and calming video of the scissor blades cutting a carrot. For the open caption “(snip)”, I was inspired by Christine Sun Kim’s video Caption America.

What this painting means to me is to just be calm at all times and to never be defensive when someone points out what mistake you’ve made, gives criticism, or you go through something that feels unfair to you. I believe that you need life’s and other people’s genuine honesty in order to understand life. #goodnews #mentalhealth #upliftyourself #upliftyourlife #makemistakes #selfimprovement #staycalm #nodefense #acceptcriticism #throwback #sevensprings #sevenspringsmountainresort #beforecorona #pensylvania #therapeutical #positiveimagery #feelthewater #acrylicpainting #acrylicsoncanvas #realism #realismart #renderings #strokesofapaintbrush #shefalisahay (at Seven Springs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNf0EMCpwE3/?igshid=17yl2uiq9b6ii

Today on International Day of Disabled Persons Day, I highlight the challenges people with disabilities in India go through on a daily basis. The reason why I explore this topic is because I am Indian-American and Disabled myself. I want to show how society perceives people with disabilities in India. Through this video, I hope to address and change my culture’s perception on disability. #internationaldayofdisabledpersons #disabilityrightsinindia #strokesofapaintbrush #shefalisahay https://www.instagram.com/p/CIWA_7Bp9Mw/?igshid=17yqegmct1vac

As the country marches for the civil rights of Black people, I wanted to highlight the struggles that Black Individuals with disabilities currently face in society, especially in the education system and workplace. With this video, I hope to contribute to the voices calling for the protection of Black lives, with a focus on those that have disabilities. Thank you! #blacklivesmatter #strokesofthepaintbrush #shefalisahay https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6NxvcDq7V/?igshid=1da42bfg8m647

Please make sure you all watch Let’s Start Accepting Special Needs Children More on my YouTube channel! The video is broken into three parts. Show all three parts to family, friends, and many other people. I encourage you all to take a screenshot of my channel like I do in my Instagram stories and spread it on social media. This artwork represents how school systems and society are treating special needs children. Everyone should learn to accept a special needs child’s identity and understand that they have different ways of learning a lesson, especially in class. #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #✊🏽 #🤟🏽 #neurodiversity #specialneedsadvocate #disabledpeoplematter #disabledartists #makingadifference #spreadtheword #specialneedsawareness #satiricalillustration #watercolorillustration #watercolorart #watercolorpainting #watercoloronpaper #societytoday #mgsa #mgsarutgers #rutgersuniversity #rutgersnb #rutgersart #strokesofapaintbrush #shefalisahay https://www.instagram.com/p/CAi9AZ8pT7i/?igshid=1thnp1lklwjug
