No One Succeeds Alone

I was recently commissioned by PayPal to create a piece that would be the design for this year’s Maggie Lena Walker award. Paypal makes this award each year to several young businesswomen who have shown themselves to be emerging leaders from underrepresented communities. Here I’m depicting one of these young women and the mentor or ancestor who stands behind her and who has helped make her success possible. For that reason, I call the piece No One Succeeds Alone
