Get to know Tanekya Word



I had the pleasure of viewing some of Tanekya's artwork during an art show at Jin Lounge last summer. I was very intrigued by her work because she communicates the strength, style and beauty of the contemporary Black woman through the use of bright, vibrant colors. I connected with many of Miss Word's pieces because I know many young Black women who fit the profile of the images she depicted. Her interview with the SheBreathes Life.Fashion.Culture. blog gives you a little more insight on what keeps Tanekya Word inspired. Check the interview and her artwork HERE.

You can also find her work on Etsy.com (great site for the style-conscious woman) and her main website, www.tanekyaword.com.
