"Do no harm, but take no shit"
Shes ready for a fight.

So i have been workin on this for a long while now, cause i was tryin a new colorin technique. This also has a good amount of meaning/symbolism even tho it is quite basic lookin. I found a piece of jewelry that i referenced for the rings at the top of the image, i think it was a necklace.

Black leopard/jaguar - "black panthers" arent a real thing. Its typically a leopard or jaguar with a melanistic color variant, but it can b any big cat really. Also they are a symbol of strength and power. I am also using it to represent African americans and Black Lives Matter as shown with the fist up and kneeling.

Freesia Leichtliniis (the lil flowers) - these are flowers that originate from africa and are difficult to grow in the US. According to the research i did, they symbolize friendship, trust, thoughtfulness, innocence, obligation, selflessness, and passion, and i couldnt think of anythin else that would fit better. They come in red, white, yellow, pink, purple, and multicolored.

Colors for things - i did research on what certain colors mean in african cultures. I love the designs and color combos in the cloths and the meanins are so neat to me. Blue means "peace", silver means "peace, purity and joy", green means "growth, spiritual and land", gold means "wealth, and spiritual purity", and red means "sacrificial rites, bloodshed and death". From what ive noticed, the wealthy dont mind the bloodshed, as it makes them wealthy. The linked chains are the struggle between peace and the bloodshed. The curly lines/vines depict how we need to grow and develop.
