InI give thanks for the Emerging Artist programme with the City of Cape Town and Comic Con the opportunity was great the experience never to be forgotten it was mal.
The platform was a blessing got to share my first colour in book about ROOTS CULTURE HERITAGE DECOLONIZATION and the Adwa movement works I been involved in as Aboxan Arts where I used my art and documentary to preserve moments and stories of our history on the African Continent to continue being told by her own people.
We hope to get this colour in book into schools and bookstores, staaltjies and malls as time goes by and as I continue growing my craft more books will come more stories and art to be recieved and one day the animation and the movies will be made showing the Victories of the Battle of Adwa 1896 and the Battle of Salt River 1510 Southern Africa and Ethiopia and how Ras Tafari preserves ancient livity and kristhood.

In honour of Mothers day coming up, I decided to draw something inspired by Mitochondria and mtDNA ❤️
What is so significant about mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA)?
It is ONLY inherited from the mother, and it allows us to trace our maternal ancestry back thousands of years.
How amazing is that? ✨
