Gugu Mbatha-Raw Instagram – An honour to paint the pure joy of Veronique, a woman I met on my recent trip to DRC. ✨ I heard a lot of heartbreaking stories during my visit with @refugees but also witnessed moments of deep joy, resilience and triumph, made all the more poignant because of the pain experienced along the way. In this moment, Vero, as she introduced herself, was celebrating her new home. After years of displacement and time in Angola as a refugee, Vero, who had been identified as especially vulnerable, was finally moving from a temporary settlement to new housing shelter project with her 4 children. I had the honour of handing over the keys! There has been a lot to process about this trip. Painting has helped. Vero’s spirit reminded me to be grateful for a home and how precious it is to have shelter, something many displaced people in DRC desperately need. See link in bio for ways you can support someone like Veronique and her family. ❤️ #joy #art #home Democratic Republic of the Congo
