“Bantu Boo” is originally inspired by the Bantu knots which is a symbol of pro blackness and self love. Black Americans donned styles connected to African heritage. Black people have always been known to be the inventors of style and trends. The woman in the painting is a broad embrace of black culture and identity. She shows appreciation of the black/African past styles as a worthy legacy, and it’s inspiration on modern black beauty. Her traditional African inspired jewelry and hair style match well with her popping lip gloss and her diamond cut grill.
