"Being a black Muslim woman I always felt like my body was policed. Ignorant Muslim men tell me to cover up and fail to see that I am more than just a body that is to be kept 'pure'. Feminists speak on my behalf, saying I must be oppressed and I should wear less. Self-loathing black men tell me I must hate myself because I wear my weave rather than my natural hair but at the same time have no issues proclaiming their [disdain] for my deep dark skin.
"Media tells me that my black features are only socially acceptable and more beautiful on white skin. My art is therefore all about reclaiming my body and helping other women reclaim their body too, one penstroke at a time".
