      <image:title>Visual Art - Holy Matrimony - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Professor Ashleigh Wade’s “Black Love: Media Representations vs. Reality” course, we discussed Black love in its various forms, and in Aneeka Ayanna Henderson’s, Associate Professor of American Studies at Amherst College, book titled Veil &amp; Vow: Marriage Matters in Contemporary African American Culture, she explains Black bridal pathos as a critical concept portrayed by the media that Black women are the least desirable in the marriage market. This is a reflection of one of the many disparities in the Black community, and it inspired me to create a piece as protest: my interpretation of Henderson’s Black Bridal Pathos is a portrait of a Black bride who is facing the dilemma of choosing self-preservation or taking a risk in love.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Visual Art - The Pan African Movement - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A poster for Pan-Africanism. This movement is a bridge aimed to unite the people of Africa and its diaspora which was trafficked during the slave trade. Unity is how we fight back against the current global systems that attempt to divide us. From colonialism to capitalism, we have and will continue to take a stand against oppression of all kinds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Visual Art - A  Light - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A piece about breaking out. Anger is often characterized as destructive, but this can serve to silence Black communities from expressing their truth and pointing out injustice. This piece explores anger as something freeing and beautiful, reflected in the the shining fire taking the center of the piece, and chains being torn apart from an anonymous Black individual's fists. Their face is illuminated by the fire's light, which highlights the dip in their jaw and clenched teeth. The bright color palette captures their rage as something that adds to the fire's beauty, rather than detracts from it.</image:caption>
