Lean On Me by Jayden Sarkodie '24

"I got the idea from listening to the song "Lean on Me” made by an American singer-songwriter and musician named Bill Withers. "Lean on Me" means to give someone a helping hand no matter what troubles they are going through. I drew the black fist because it represents strength and how the Black community will overcome any problems and roadblocks. That is why I then added what was supposed to be a black doctor helping up a black woman. The plants are Wild Dagga which is an African traditional medicine used for sicknesses such as fevers, headaches and malaria."
