Support the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund

The recent events happening around the world inspired Erica to do more with her art and find a way to help others through her drawings. On February 28th, 2017 she sat on a panel of two other artists and Sherrilyn Ifill, the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The event was called Faces of Social Justice.

Erica created two drawings of individuals who have been indispensable to the fight for social justice, Martin Luther King Jr. and Colin Kaepernick. She will be donating all of the proceeds to the NAACP Legal Defense fund and the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund.
