Indira Bailey, Essex County Teacher of the Year and
New Jersey Teacher of the Year Finalist will be exhibiting
her new artwork “Out of Africa” based on her two Ful-
bright-Hayes Scholarships to Morocco (2011) and South
Africa (2004).
Ms. Bailey teaches Commercial Illustration for Essex Coun-
ty Vocational Schools in Bloomfield, NJ.
Indira received her BFA in Illustration/ Communication De-
sign from Pratt Institute and MA in Educational Leadership
from Kean University.
Bailey’s work demonstrates her pride, talent and her genu-
ine interest in showing her experience as an African Ameri-
can woman and her travels abroad in a positive light.
Indira’s body of work covers several mediums: graphite,
charcoal, acrylic but mainly oil on canvas. Even as a child,
Indira knew she wanted to be a successful artist. Her goal
was to illustrate the experience and daily life scenes of
African Americans in a realistic and enjoyable venue. Ms.
Bailey’s has exhibited artwork throughout the tri-state area.
Indira is currently working educational products and has a
free online newsletter “Indira” featuring art history and art
lessons.

In my travels to a village in Emmaus Valley close to Lesotho, I visited their program for early childhood in a small one-room building.

ISangoma is a traditional Zulu diviner whose main function is to heal and protect the people in the community. An iSangoma contacts the ancestral spirits and other important religious functions. An iSangoma initiate is called a “thwasas” who wears red, symbolizing the transfor-mation process that the apprentice is undergoing. The initiate symbolic death is one’s old self and the rebirth of a new iSangoma. A part of the rites of passage is wearing white medicinal clay on skin symbolizes brav-ery, power and protection against negative forces.
