Here is a black Santa Claus, a large doll, and a grand-sized bag of toys. Most common stores sell only White Santas, so I thought it would be nice to offer a Santa that black children could relate to and that would help teach tolerance and love, respect, and consideration for one another.

White Santa Claus images have always flooded the Western Hemisphere and those images relayed that there is and was plenty for white folks. My black Santa Claus, hopefully tells children and people, that there is enough and plenty for black folks or any ethnic minority as well and there is equality of people, no matter what color, race, religion, gender, economic standing, or belief system. This is my hope.

This Santa Claus has a huge toy bag filled with gifts and goodies intended for all. He has enough to share and give. The toys on top are varied ethnicities, revealing that kids deserve play and all the treasures life has to offer. This goes for adults as well. He has a never ending gift bag that reaches out beyond the canvas. In his right hand he holds a large black baby doll.

I am hoping that this image tells people that they deserve the good in life, to be able to earn, have, live well, and be included in the wonderful joys of life. Santa's bag has many gifts, including the gift of the spirit, hope, answers to many baffling questions, healing, and you help fill this bag with your positive thoughts and wishes so that everyone can partake in the gifts of life.
