Hey! I'm Alayjah! My favorite style is pour painting. I love this style because it allows me to design a unique painting. Also, you can do so many designs that it makes it fun to learn and try to do.

What does being a Black girl who paints mean to you?

Being a black girl who paints means a lot to me! Most of the painters I’ve learned about are white men. I would love to make a difference to show other 10 year olds that it’s okay to stand out in whatever you love to do. Our skin color should make us do more rather than blend in with the others.
