Njideka Akunyili Crosby, born in 1983 was raised in Lagos, Nigeria, and left Africa at the age of 16 to pursue an education in the United States. The daughter of late Dora Akunyili, she majored in biology at Swarthmore College and intended to eventually become a doctor.

She recalled being an artist wasn't an option when she was growing up because she grew up in a climate where the options seemed to be limited—medicine, engineering, law.”

But when she discovered formal art classes, Akunyili Crosby felt “an urgency,” to break away from the preconceived boundaries of what she should do with her life. After a brief sojourn to her native country, where she served in the National Youth Service Corps for a year, she returned to the U.S. to pursue her goal.

Very funny

The second pic looks so real that you won't first notice that it's a painting! Nice work, African woman!
