In Vancouver, there is a growing visual reminder of Black history and culture, thanks to a team of talented artists.
The mural, filled with soft hues reminiscent of a sunset, was painted by Rachel Achus, a Nigerian Canadian artist.
"The name of my piece is called Maifaunta Mata. I wanted to name it something that was closely tied to my culture and the language. The painting basically encompasses Black female empowerment," she said.
Achus' painting is part of mural project, aimed at reclaiming and restoring Black visibility in the city's eastside.
"It's called the Black Strathcona Resurgence Project. It was linked to the Vancouver Mural Festival, but is now growing and hopefully expanding."
