"Essence is the representation of women of color in all her shades of glory. From light skin to dark skin, she is one. She has braids of color; she wears jewels of beads and stones that heal. She is surrounded by flowers that bring renewal and a bird that represents strength and freedom. She wears a cap that represents her colors. She is serene and at peace."
