Sistas Of The Revolution

They stand together like a frontline, five women carved out of strength, beauty, and purpose. Their stances are bold, their expressions sure. Each one carries a different kind of fire, yet all of them burn with the same conviction. Afros raised like crowns, posture firm like they have seen life and decided to face it head on. These are not just figures in a drawing. These are echoes of a movement.
 
In Sistas Of The Revolution, LaKeem captures the spirit of the women who held communities together during some of the hardest battles. The women who cooked for the neighborhood, who organized the meetings, who watched the children, who challenged systems, who marched when the world told them to sit down. Their presence shaped the Black Panther era as powerfully as any manifesto. They were the heart of the revolution, the pulse of Black resistance, the quiet architects of cultural pride.
 
LaKeem’s lines bring them forward as a unified force. Each woman holds her own story, yet they stand as one. This piece reminds us that revolutions are not only fought with fists raised or words shouted. Some are fought in the way women stand beside each other. In the way they refuse to shrink. In the way they teach us to show up brave, beautiful, and unshakeable.
