Art 211 Favorite Broadways

The Color Purple, staring Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Hudson was one of the most soulful, inspiring, and beautiful broadways I've ever seen. Originally there based on Jennifer Hudson's appearance, I was quickly drawn in to the beautiful voices of everyone else. It was no longer about who famous was playing the roles, it was about who was playing the roles, and they were playing it well. Cynthia Erivo's performance was phenomenal.

This is why I decided to include my hands holding a paint brush (cause if I was holding a tablet I don't think that would work with the black and white). My skin does not define who I am, or what I stand for. The only way for someone to define who I am, is to know who I am.  This is the Experiments!
