I had the pleasure of creating this #digitalillustration for the 23 Annual Audre Lorde Brunch brought to you by @fenwayhealth It takes place this Saturday October 16 from 1130a-130p I will be facilitating an art session based on Self-Care with Love, I am excited to be working next to other amazing healing practitioners and musical performers. A little about my thoughts: Audre Lorde honored us with her grace and resilience as she openly shared her journey of being all the things for us to cherish "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," and most importantly a resilient thriver. Her journey with cancer touched us all deeply, but her approach to radical self care and living a life of joy through her journey is what touched us the most. In this bright bold illustration through color and line I wanted to capture her wit and "I don’t care what other people think" bravado. This illustration represents the epitome of rest, joy and self-care as a luxurious lifestyle. #liveandletart #artasprocess #selfcarewithlove #cancerawareness #audrelorde #bostonartist #zntarts #illustrator #bostoncreative #zntartsselfcarewithlove #artistsoninstagram #artistlife #communityart #selfawareness #selflove #artfromtheheart (at The Fenway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-hXMYLujQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Many thanks to @alisoncroney @littleuprisings @eerees.iris @eliotschoolcraft @innosantonagara for holding space for uncomfortable much needed conversations about race last night! How to support young people and all people as we push the needle forward to a more racially just world. It’s going to take a little bit of us, a lot of love, unpacking and the young people right now to create the world we really want to see. I am honored that I was able to be in conversation with such amazing thought leaders and community members. The Eliot School Salon Series: “Talking to Kids About Race, Justice, and Their Power Using Art & Art-Making” was amazing! Thank you for joining me on this journey, many thanks to all my followers and those that support #zntarts sending lots of love and light! My smile says it all! #artseducation #artseducator #artist #mompreneur #artseducationconsultant #bostoncreative PS...

I was inspired by #blackloveday2020 👏🏾💗to create a series of figures that represent the varied fabric of #blacklove 👩🏾🧔🏾its not always perfect but it should be whole with out reservations and trauma. Love that is sweetly reciprocated. One time for #blacklovematters and I created this lover for my #vitiligo #vitiligobeauty #vitiligoawareness enjoy this series as I will be sharing more and transforming them in different ways so that we can further discuss what black love is and isn’t. It won’t always be easy but it doesn’t have to be hard either. And yes it looks different for everyone but it should be healthy and rooted in foundation that is built on shared things that resonates with each other’s being. Black love is fluid ❤️✊🏾#collageart #collage #zntarts #loveisblack #meandsomebodyson #bostonartist #artistsoninstagram #bostoncreative #fabricart (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B81dwx0HoXA/?igshid=h5jz2egaxcjt

Just me and my hearts... these are very personal to me. Broken-heartened can show up in many ways that can go unnoticed by the people that are close to us. I use art as away to elevate my life, my way of being and the lives of others. What is your antidepressant? All of us at some point and time may experience lost, disappointment and or grief. If you go through any of those things you will surely experience the highs of life too. The joy, the wonder, and the awe. Embrace life’s ups and downs and know that change is inevitable. It’s up to you as to how you see that change. You are the maker and the owner of your said environment. Be the catalyst of change and never be afraid to step into your greatness! ❤️ #zntarts #zahirahnurtrutharts #daartistznt #mother #artist #educator #artistlife #bostoncreative #artseducator #healingvibrations #positivethinking #depressionhelp #teamafro #naturallyshesdope (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnG_zlnV7O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19pxywx1zn0nl
