Halima wants to work for a purpose, she wants to inspire all the dark looking women as she remembers what it felt like when you don’t have any public figure to idolize. “One of my teachers told me to draw the Disney princess who I could most relate to, and there wasn’t one. It hit me at a young age—that made me question whether or not I was good enough. Each princess had a heroic story, but I didn’t have one. I took it very hard.”
