Erica Keith talks about the new 2021 calendar she has created, art directing at Hallmark, and why representation matters.
Question: You have created a Women of the Bible wall calendar for 2021, with beautiful drawings and Bible verses. What gave you the idea to create this calendar?
Answer: One of the earliest memories that I have is my mom reading the
My Bible Friends book series to me and my sisters. I remember enjoying the stories but my favorite part was looking at the pictures. Even though I enjoyed the books I always had this nagging feeling that none of the characters in the books looked like me. I got the same feeling reading my Sabbath School lesson and also seeing my Sabbath School teacher put the little felt people up on the felt board.
