Google Doodle - Charlotte Maxeke

uMam’ uMaxeke.
My first Google Doodle. I tried to zero in on the fact that she travelled the world with a gospel choir in her youth, and then I tried to imagine what she might have pulled from that experience. From that, I realized that to be in a choir is to understand the value of separate duties coming together to create something better than the sum of its parts - to truly understand what it means to be in harmony. And how she was not only in harmony with those around her but also with the various facets of her own life. The radical, the performer, the organizer, the student, the traveller, and the teacher - all in harmony, nestled comfortably beside the next. Massive thanks to Erich Nagler for the art direction.
thank you for viewing!
