Sarraounia

Sarraounia by Nicole T. Lasher, a woman with the head and paws of a panther, wearing a blue dress, and a red and gold crown. On either side of her are small nature spirits

This is a drawing in honor of Sarraounia Mangou, a Hausa queen who resisted French colonization. She is the original Black Panther about whom stories were told long before the Marvel movies.
