This ORIGINAL vibrant, joyful, yet soulful painting features the beloved Sesame Street characters joyfully surrounding the beautiful Nina Simone. More than a whimsical illustration, this piece serves as a historical, educational visual tool that supports cultural, early literacy, and social development. This painting encourages melanated children, today’s and yesterday’s, to recognize familiar characters that have and continue to guide them in their own journeys.
To me this Artwork is both meaningful and memorable and tells the story of how Nina Simone, Sesame Street, and PBS stood in the gap to pave a way for those with limited resources, then and now.
