Extra
Overall this article was very impactful because Ebony Paterson was a person of color who was able to achieve many things at a young age. I really like how she started off at a young age working around identity and using that to help with her drawings and paintings and I think she tried to create. She has a powerful thing going on such as “ Gangstas for Life” which seems very interesting in what is made for and what is trying to produce. It shows a part such as transformation which can be very important especially for young teens nowadays because as they are Transitioning they need a work of art look back at. Most Ebony's fashion styles were displayed visually through paintings and designs. A lot of her work is displayed today. It is displayed with more older fashion styles as well with the other work she has created and done. Ebony was a very impactful person who not only did fashion art but overall visual art that many people were able to admire and enjoy. She would design visual art that was inspiring and related to fashion fibers in many different bits.
