Southern Spiced: A Brown Girl’s Tale 3

Felicia Taylor E.

I continued to write and found Zoom classes for different writing classes during the Pandemic. Having this creative expression and a way to connect to community saved my sanity. Then compiling all my work to complete the manuscript “Southern Spiced: A Brown Girl’s Tale” helped me to stay focused on creating works that shared my Voice and experiences as an African American growing up in America. Publication was something else that helped me find completion and continued creative activity. It was important for my existence again, as I lost my Father to the Covid-19 disease in October of 2021. He and my family were also able to share and experience creativity through my works, throughput these very difficult times in our History. I’m grateful that there are ways to express our creativity alone ad with others. Art and artistic expression is healing and life saving.

“The following artwork is based on a real-life story of an anonymous person who comes from a poor tribal family in Gujarat, India. It shows two phases of the girl’s life. On the left hand side, she is shown in poor clothes with a bun along with bucket, broom, and clothes around. This depicts her phase when she used to do the job of sweeping and cleaning in an office. Her chores were just restricted to cleaning, and she didn’t have any post in her office. This continued till half of the covid period.”

“After mid 2020 she started taking interest in other office works too. She learnt how to operate computers and started getting basic education including learning English. She also went for community meetings with her NGO team and learnt to interact with villagers. Now she participates in community liaison and networking. Her dressing style changed as per her changed role from normal clothes to modern clothes. This is all depicted on the right side with modern clothes, files, computer, and community meetings.”

“Thus, during the COVID period, she upscaled herself by engaging into office work and also supported her family through increased salary. Now she has a post called office assistant along with suitable income, ready for new tasks and challenges herself with new experiences.” all in black text.

Beneath the description are the words “name: Chaitali D. Sinha” in the left corner and “date: 15th May 2022” in the right corner.

A series of images displays a woman holding life-sized photographs of herself in masks and face paint over her face. Each photo is taken of the artist’s chest up and the photographs the artist is holding lines up with her shoulders.
