"The Skin I'm In" was created to show appreciation for Afrocentric features. Just like the main character of the Sharon G. Flake novel of the same name as this work, Black women throughout the world experience constant negativity for the features that we are born with. This piece is meant to highlight the coils of our hair, dark skin, wide noses and more, that we have been conditioned to hate so that we can learn to love them and love ourselves as we are.
