Women of Color: Healing America

"Women of Color on the Frontlines" is a project initiated by a physician in response to the observation that female healthcare workers of color are underrepresented in the story of the US' fight against COVID-19. She put out a call to female physicians of color around the US to send their selfies and a call to artists to paint any portrait based on the selfies. I responded by painting 15 portraits in a single painting.
