{"product_id":"i-am-gbaby-sylvia-cohen-wall-calendar","title":"I Am Chosen: The Art of GBaby 2027 Wall Calendar","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChosen. In scripture, it means set apart on purpose, selected by God. But being chosen is not always an unearned divine inheritance bestowed upon you. Proverbs speaks of finding favor in the sight of God and man, and that favor can be earned through daily decisions and habits. Some are born chosen. Sylvia \"Gbaby\" Cohen paints the rest: women of purpose and faith who choose themselves every ordinary morning, reminding us that favor is not only something you wait to receive. It is something you can arise and claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwelve women, twelve affirmations, each one painted into the art itself. LOVE ME SOME ME lettered into a headwrap. I LOVE MYSELF spelled across a crown of locs. Me, Myself and I written into a halo of hair. LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE running through a pair of hoop earrings. Never stop dreaming beside a woman whose hair has become a garden. Every month Gbaby reminds us: don't downgrade your dream to match your reality; upgrade your faith to match your destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGbaby paints in saturated color with everything turned up, tangerine and magenta and electric green, and she treats Black hair as the main event. This is Black woman art with nothing held back. Afros, locs, twists, braids, headwraps, flowers growing straight out of the scalp. Faith, Peace, Hope, Love, Joy, and Grace get written directly onto the clothing. She is not interested in subtlety. A woman choosing herself does not whisper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSylvia \"Gbaby\" Cohen is the artist and CEO of Gbaby Art Inc. She earned a B.A. in liberal arts with a business minor from SUNY Binghamton, then worked as a graphic artist at the San Diego Monitor News under Albert Fennell before launching Another Sylvia Original, selling hand-painted tees to stores around the country. She later opened Unique Fashion Gallery in San Diego, home to seven artists and designers. The brand got its name on a television set: her daughter Giovonnie Samuels, nicknamed Gbaby, was filming Nickelodeon's All That and asked her mother for a handbag with women of color on it. Sylvia looked, could not find one, bought a plain bag, and painted the women herself. Everything since has come from that.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.blackartdepot.com\/collections\/sylvia-gbaby-cohen-art-gallery\" title='Sylvia \"Gbaby\" Cohen Art, Gifts and Collectibles'\u003eSylvia \"Gbaby\" Cohen collection\u003c\/a\u003e for handbags, prints, and more of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlack history facts and milestone dates are printed right in the date blocks, so you can learn something about Our Story almost every day.
