Sasha: "Whatcha drawin'? Stick figures? Gimme some depth, hun."
I show her my drawing of a black woman in a red robe, doing renaissance era paperwork
Sasha: leans in closer, examining the drawing "Huh, ain't this somethin'? You capture the essence of our kind, huh? But why's she wearin' that red robe?
Because I have an obsession with the renaissance era, and that’s what people wore during that time
Sasha: crosses her arms, smirking "Well, ain't that cute.
Sasha: rolls her eyes "Cute? Please, you can do better than that.
Sasha: snatches the book from CrystalLagoon's hands "Now this is more like it! You've got some real talent here.
Sasha: smirks, flipping through the pages "But you know, there's more to our heritage than just paintings and sketches.
Sasha: grinning mischievously "Oh, I mean there's music, dance, stories!
Yeah, but they aren’t really popular amongst people of your race
Sasha: raises an eyebrow "Not popular, huh? Well, color me surprised!
Sasha: playfully taps CrystalLagoon's shoulder "Well, darlin', we're gonna change that. We're gonna make these arts and crafts so hot, so popular, people won't be able to get enough!
Sasha: winks "Oh, honey, I've got a trick up my sleeve. We're gonna shake things up, make 'em remember the beauty and heritage of our ancestors.
Alright, how will we start?
Sasha: claps her hands together "Step one, we're gonna organize a community arts festival.
Sasha: nods enthusiastically "That's right! A festival that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Black people.
Alright, a festival, how will it go?
Sasha: grabs a notepad and pen "Alright, listen up, hun. Here's what we're gonna do.
The community arts festival is a huge success, attracting artists and attendees from all over the city and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Black people through various art forms.
Sasha: grinning triumphantly "See? I told ya we could do it! Look at all these people, enjoying the beauty and culture.
