This year, London-based street artist Dreph has been painting a series of portraits of women in a series named "You Are Enough". The common theme among the women is that they have given back to the community in some way (through the arts, medical, or other social causes), and they are all of African origin. The tenth and final in the series was finished on Hanbury Street off Brick Lane over the long weekend and features Shaney Blackman.
Shanely is a world traveller, but previous to that, she had a good job and lived a comfortable life as a Legal Secretary. A couple of years ago, she was saved up in order to quit her job in order to travel the world. Her motto is to sieze the opportunities. When she visits other places, she finds people to help so that she is able to give something back to the community in every location.
