Description

Spoken Art is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between dynamic mother-daughter duo Rita P. Mitchell and Brittany A. Mitchell. It is the culmination of affirmation thinking, aspirational poetry, and a lifetime of wisdom. It also features 20 years of Brittany's art and artistic talent.

The concept of Spoken Art came from Rita being spiritually moved to write three poems to match her daughter, Brittany's three paintings of strong African-American women titled: Let the Sun Shine In, 100% Boss, and Renaissance Woman. As Rita reflected on Brittany's art, she saw her own life's continuum in the three women reflecting back at her. Each painting representing a phase of her life: as a young girl, as a maturing woman, and as herself, today, fully grown up.

In Spoken Art, Rita and Brittany weave words and art together into meaningful messages they hope will invoke inspiration and aspiration. The purpose of this book is to create a sense of wonder and spark creativity in each of us. This book is also a testament to the power of affirmation thinking and the ability of affirmations to bring you out of the darkness and into the light when you are going through personal tragedy or challenging times.

Spoken Art is about declaring your truth and your heart's desire. Hopefully, this book will inspire you to seek out the words, phrases, and art that affirm who you are as a person.
