A captivating portrait of a regal black woman, reminiscent of Maria Borges, exuding an aura of afrofuturism. Her expression is serene and powerful, embodying the essence of Ororo Munroe. She dons a majestic, shimmering beaded shawl and a luminous pearl necklace, strings of pearls cascading down, accentuating her grace. Her dress, a stunning creation made entirely of intricately woven beads, evokes the visionary work of Carrie Mae Weems and Gordon Parks. Her poise is further complemented by subtle nods to the symbolism of a beautiful animal pearl queen, blending elegance and strength. Inspired by Lily Delissa Joseph's vibrant style, the image captures an essence that honors both heritage and future-forward style.
