Daily Creativity: Ida B Wells – International Women’s Day

Daily Creativity: Ida B Wells - International Women's DayDaily Creativity: Ida B Wells – International Women’s Day

In honor of International Women’s Day I normally draw a woman of influence, this year I drew Ida B Wells. Ida was an editor and activist. Ida was a suffragette and a civil rights activist. She is proof that Feminism was always intersectional and that there were always white feminists that ignored that intersectionality. Ida is also proof that sexism was rampant in the civil rights struggle (see her name being left off from the founding of the NAACP and other slights). She didn’t pick or choose which was more important and she didn’t fear speaking her mind about all of these issues. She’s a role model for sure.

When we honor women we need to include ALL women, and all of the struggles they face. All races, religions, cultures, and physiology. There is no right way to be a woman, all women who identify as women are women, and we honor them all.

Daily Creativity: Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai Daily CreativityTomorrow is International Women’s Day, and in that honor I drew Malala Yousafzai. She’s a role model for all, a champion for education, and someone who can remind us that there is more in the world than what effects us directly. I’m so impressed with this young lady and impressed with all that she has done. She is eloquent and a wonderful ambassador, so she makes a great spokesperson for her cause. Her life story is enough to inspire, many other women and girls have been through similar trauma, she is far from alone. The fact that she continues to push and promote education for all makes her a superhero to me. I drew this with pencils on paper.
