Jenelle Nero is an award-winning digital artist whose works explore black history and present experiences throughout the African Diaspora and the mother continent. Drawing inspiration from black cultures, she creates images that portray Afro-descended people, who are far too often unrepresented or misrepresented, in their brilliance and reslience. Jenelle holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Queens College of the City University of New York. Currently, she is focusing on the creation of an independent cartoon series based on Yoruba philosophy and a fantasy audiobook that references Asante traditions.
