(This week I’m sketching my favorite bloggers because WHY NOT?! :))
Sketch of Patrice Grell Yursik of Afrobella.com
I’m so lucky to be able to call Patrice Grell Yursik, also known as Afrobella, not only one of my favorite bloggers, but also a supportive and encouraging friend. I love her work because she stands for something I deeply believe in — encouraging women and girls to find and celebrate their own unique beauty.
Afrobella’s been in this blogging game for a long time, and it’s been amazing to watch where she’s been able to go and the things she’s been able to do — from creating a lipglass with M.A.C. to covering the Academy Awards to giving a talk at TEDxPortofSpain. And all from having a unique platform as beauty blogger for women of color. Her TED talk on being courageous and embracing your own beauty is soooo worth the watch.
This sketch is from a runway look she rocked while hosting the BlogHer 2013 fashion show in Chicago this past August. The dress is by Monif C and I’m super in love with the directional stripe design. Head over to Afrobella’s blog to see photos of her in the dress and her recap of the conference.
