I imagine that it's a summer night in NYC, the subject is overwhelmed by the humidity. She couldn't sleep, so she sat there awake, and wondering. The title is "Sister Alone in a Rented Room". Artist Kay Brown. (1932-2012). "A personal representation of black womens experiences. This image speaks to the emotional and economic struggles black women amid systemic racism and oppression."
