Our very own Rohn Strong worked on this amazing crochet piece in his hometown!! Rohn, the team is so proud of you!!
"I've not worked on a project quite like this yarn bomb before. To be able to meet and work with on such an important mural that was perfectly suited to Raleigh and our North Carolinian History was a once in a lifetime experience. Nina stood for so much. She sacrificed her career to speak out against racial injustice. To honor her, is humbling.
I was lucky enough to be trusted to complete a good portion of the face as well as a few other squares. In all I completed 8, and I couldn't tell you which ones they were. Ha!
If you're in Raleigh, please check this out. If you're not, put on some Nina Simone and look at this photo.
All in all I have to give the entire team at a huge shout out. They donated the yarn and even stopped by today to celebrate with us! ππ»ππ»ππ»"
