Black History Month 2025: Kick Off

I'm Black and I'm back!
Denzel Washington points to his kente kufi.

Happy Black History Month! ❤️🖤💚

Victoria Monet holds baby Hazel, who is wearing a kente kufi and staring quizzically.
Charlie Brown wears a kente kufi and stares out of the window.
Two Black women wear kente kufis. The text reads, "It's pleasing me and my ancestors."

These pictures sum up my mood all month. (All year to be honest.)

I'll be sharing a lot of illustrations and stories this month! Stay tuned.

I'm Black and I'm back,

Alleanna
