PRIDE MONTH WITH DISNEY +
This Pride month I get to be part of the celebrations by illustrating a beautiful, black and classic Disney character - Thalia from Hercules. Thalia is 1 of the 5 muses that narrated Hercules’ story through song and dance as a powerful Black women choir. Each character stands out to no end, particularly Thalia, the shortest, full bodied, sassier and comedic muse. For me Thalia steals the show by exuding a beautiful Pride month expression - pride in being yourself!
Today I am using my art to continue celebrating and encouraging pride in being yourself by illustrating Thalia. Its not often you see a plus-sized Black Disney character, so I wanted to celebrate and honour this representation too as we take this month to remember equal rights for all! Anyone else thinking back to her phrase;
