Today’s winning Google Doodle invoking Black Lives Matter was designed by a high school sophomore
Akilah, a sophomore at Eastern Senior High School in Northeast Washington, has just been named Google’s big winner in the national contest, topping the 53 state and territory champions, whose work had been culled from about 100,000 student entries.
~~~~~~~~~~
This year’s contest theme was: “What makes me…me.” Akilah drew a box-braided Doodle, titled “My Afrocentric Life,” using color pencils, black crayons and Sharpie markers. The Doodle includes symbols of black heritage and signs representing the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Although it felt like forever making this picture, it only took me about two weeks,” Akilah told Comic Riffs last month.
