Wakanda Forever. 

Name: Atlantean Holy Princess Completion: 11-17-18 Meaning: The indigenous nature of a holy race known as Africans I’m glad to have black women in my life. No black man can truly be complete without a Queen who truly understands what his daily struggle is. The black man & Woman together creates a divine consciousness that transcends time & endures the most tedious grievances one can imagine. This picture symbolizes the embodiment of Afro success, a black Woman on the throne in her Queendom. Although she is not physically sitting on a throne 💺 her city is that symbolic throne in the background. This is even more personified by her castle 🏰 behind her. She is dressed in traditional Southern African attire, commonly associated with Zulu tribes. My trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 truly did inspire this creation of holiness known as the Black Woman. The Pan African flag flies strong in the wind, symbolizing the freedom that is @ hand for her holiness & her chosen hero, the black man. #freedomarts #blackgirlsrock #iloveblackwomen #iloveblackmen #blackunity #oneness #tobecomeone #dna #dnaactivation #melanin #darkskingirls #world #atlanta #atlantis #incredible #divine #god #theblackwomanisgod #theblackmanisgod #holiness #spiritual #themosthigh #unityconsciousness #deviant #deviantart #drawing #zelsart (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqks92kgJfH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nef5sdqpvzfn

Name: Table Cloth on the Mountain Completed: 11-10-18 Meaning: My journey to the motherland As you all may or may not know, I went to Southern Africa for 3 weeks & just returned. I had the time of my life. Soo many friends I made & soo many good things & experiences I had. The scenery was perfect, the air was pure, and there wasn’t a single chem trail in the sky. The ocean was very cold though lol. But table Mountain (the name of this mountain) was an incredible experience. You could see the entire city & ocean from the peak. There were even restaurants up there lol. But on days where there is clouds on the mountain like depicted in this drawing, it is closed. They call it, “ A blanket on the table”. It’s a very beautiful effect for a very beautiful Mountain 🏔 #freedomarts #harmony #nature #mountain #tablemountain #southafrica #view #tall #big #deviant #deviantart #drawing #zelsart https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBvLl6l1qO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yy6lpzjmckd0

Name: The Queen of Giving Completed: 3-3-18 Meaning: Mother Earth 🌏 nurtures the needy I wanted to show something of African heritage delivering food & resources to the needy. Maemae, the light skin goddess delivering food to the refugees is a symbol of peace, prosperity & mothership. The love for those who have been subjected to wickedness is an attribute the current world seems to not have access to. So many people have suffered in this world & I have about had it. This art piece is dedicated to every starving child that has never had the privilege of living a normal life due to the rich raping the poor for 💰 & resources. I love 💕 all that are suffering. And to those who are the source of the suffering, I will eliminate that source personally. #freedomarts #panafrican #divine #blackwomen #blackgirlsrock #refugees #saviorsoftheworld #theblackwomanisgod #femalediety #godisawoman #god #deviant #deviantart #drawing #zelsart (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnw1v0iFiO8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ymmz5mo3w2k
