“Rudo” means love in Shona — the language of Jedidah's Zimbabwean heritage. This mixed media portrait is not just a piece of art — it’s a journey of healing, identity, and radical self-acceptance.

As a child growing up in post-colonial Zimbabwe, Jedidah didn’t see herself reflected in the beauty ideals around her. She longed for straighter, silkier hair and wished her skin was lighter. At that age, Jedidah didn’t yet understand that she carried the power of generations in her natural curls, her features, and her culture.

This painting is a love letter to Jedidah's younger self — and to anyone who’s ever felt unseen. The woman in "Rudo" sits in strength and softness. Her afro, hand-detailed with expressive brushwork, becomes a crown — brought to life with rich textures and real African fabric sewn into the canvas.   "Rudo" is bold, unapologetic, and deeply rooted.

With elements of graffiti wall art, layered textures, spray paint, and woven symbolism, "Rudo" stands proudly in Jedidah's collection of contemporary African artworks. It merges fine art with urban expression, creating a powerful blend of past and present.

Whether displayed in your home, studio, or gallery wall, this one-of-a-kind fabric art piece invites you to celebrate your own story — and to remember that self-love is a revolutionary act.
