Poetry and Strength by Ohab TBJ

Nigerian illustrator and poet at heart, Ohab Tochukwu Bernard Johnbosco a.k.a TBJ, continues to use his art to edify women and their experiences. We’ve featured TBJ a number of times, and still get excited when he releases new work.

In this series, the illustrator and poet features confident, strong Black women, armored in masculine suits, facing the world in strength. Each image is accompanied by pieces of advice from them to us, urging us, the viewers, to be kind to ourselves, to be patient, to be forgiving, as we strive to meet our goals.

See the beautiful illustrations below.
