This 17-Year-Old’s #StyleChallenge is Totally Inspiring

Ever wonder what you would look like as a character on your favorite show? So has everybody else, and a teenager just challenged the illustrators of Instagram to bring this fantasy to life. Autumn Massaquoi drew herself as a character on five of her favorite shows, and thousands of other artists of color followed suit, giving nostalgic childhood shows and movies some #blackgirlmagic. “Sometimes it’s not easy drawing in another’s style but that’s what the #stylechallenge is about and I enjoyed doing it!” said Massaquoi. “You don’t know how happy I am seeing all these talented artists take part in this It was always my dream to inspire others.” Here are our 24 favorite entries from the style challenge.

My #stylechallenge attempt. I said I would only do 4….look what God did.
