I saw a picture of Anjelika Washington and thought it would be neat to use the same pose for Beth Chapel ☺️

I was trying out a top-knot version of Bow but my siblings said it looked like a buff version of Sokka 😂

Thought it would be fun to draw a teenage Wolf from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. Such a fantastic show!

Champion of Change: Claudette Colvin
March 2, 1955, fifteen-year old Claudette Colvin was arrested in Montgomery Alabama after refusing to give her front seat to a white woman on a crowded bus. She was a member of the NAACP Youth Council and formed a close relationship with her mentor Rosa Parks. Nine months later, Rosa Parks did the same thing, sparking the Montgomery bus boycott. Colvin testified in the 1956 court case Browder vs. Gayle to challenge the law of bus segregation in Montgomery. The Supreme Court ruled to end state-wide bus segregation in December of 1956.
You don’t have to be old to make a difference and have an influence. You can start your own legacy of change.

Champions of Change: Cathy Freeman
The Black Lives Matter movement is globally significant. In Australia, Aboriginal people have lived under racial discrimination dating back to the arrival and subsequent colonization of British settlers starting in 1788. Indiginous Australians were deprived of rights to vote and gain citizenship. Laws changed but discrimination merely transformed. Children of indigenous families were forcefully taken in attempts of cultural erasure. Only men who served the national military were considered worthy of receiving a vote. It wasn’t until 1965 that universal suffrage was granted to all Aboriginal Australians. To be clear, this is a very insufficient summarization of the pain each indiginous individual and family have suffered for centuries.
In the 2000 Summer Olympics held in Sydney Australia, Cathy Freeman represented her Aboriginal heritage in winning the Gold Medal for the 400 meter sprint. In a simple but powerful homage, she ran a victory lap carrying both the Australian and Aboriginal flags. She is an example to us all that every action makes a difference and every voice should be heard.
We must do what we can to support movements of positive change, including educate ourselves of the injustice in the world, and then working together to correct it.
