this guadeloupe-based illustrator promotes the diverse beauty of black women

Illustrator and graphic designer SweetV97design is the artist being some of the sweetest renderings of black women and natural black hair textures. Playful and pretty are two of the words that come to mind when you see Sweet’s illustrations of original characters. Working and living in Guadeloupe, the young artist is also the illustrator of the book, ‘Cheveux crépus : mode d’emploi’ or ‘Kinky Hair: Instructions for Use’, a maintenance and education guide for black girls with natural hair textures. It includes tips on keeping your kinks and coils healthy, affordable products to use, homemade hair recipes to make, and more.
