Brilliance Empathy Bracelet
This handmade bracelet took Ada approximately 3 hours to design based on Dr. Jason Okonofua's description of Shiny Empathy, a presentation kind of perspective-taking that looks to understand how and why people present the way they do. Research evidences that we possess a limited amount of executive function, the neurological capacity for self-presentation. This is often overlooked and thus an underestimated space for empathy. This is marked in the brilliant rays of colors and wavelengths that bounce around the bracelet in varying light. The theme is developed from research at Stanford University and published by the National Academy of Sc Ada, the designer, is a 7 year old artist in the 1st grade. Her name is Nigerian for "daughter to all" and she is known as princess in her village. She is above grade level in both reading and math which she uses to inform her arts which include books, jewelry, paintings, and abstract fabric and glass works. Each piece comes from a place of empathy, love, and joy like only a child could give. The proceeds go directly to Ada's education fund.
