Thank you @lvccld for having me participate in this engaging event. . . For the theme of Mythology/Folklore, I wanted to share Ancient Queen Arawelo who I feel embodies the strong spirit of Somali women, if not in all of us. Queen Arawelo defied gender norms and encouraged women to take on masculine roles if they wanted to. I love how strong her spirit was and wanted to capture her being a strong woman who is capable of achieving anything by appropriately using her masculine and feminine energy. . . .
