In the mesmerizing and evocative series "My Afro", I masterfully capture and gracefully navigate the profound beauty and resilience embodied in the nappy hair of women of color with African roots. Against the backdrop of Black History Month in February 2017, Ogwah's canvas becomes a time capsule, encapsulating the struggle and triumphs of African Americans and the African continent. The Afro, a central motif in this captivating series is a symbol of defiance and pride and stands tall as a testament to the journey against inequality. As we delve into this artistic narrative, we find ourselves immersed not only in the celebration of heritage but also in a visual journey through the echoes of history, honoring the enduring spirit that has carried communities through challenges. "My Afro" is a poignant nod to the indomitable strength woven into the fabric of Black women, beautifully expressed through the intricate details of each brushstroke.
