Street artist Dreph is currently painting a series of inspiring and community-oriented black women across London in a work titled "You Are Enough". Each features a female hero subject. The last that I photographed a couple of weeks ago appeared in Star Yard and featured a friend of the artist, Myvanwy Evans, who currently works in marketing and is an artist. The most recent edition in the series was painted at the end of last week and features Tracy Blackstock, the mother of Dreph's son.
Tracy is the youngest of 9 children born to first generation Jamaican parents, and she works with people on probation and resettlement for offenders. She also helps children and youths who have been abused and wants to prevent them from abusing others in the same way that they have had to endure when they were younger.
