Juneteenth Personification

Growing up I saw many personifications various European or African or Asian or American countries or particular peoples, like religious groups or speakers of a particular language.

But I wanted to make my own personification of Juneteenth.

SYMBOLISM

The light in the night sky is not from a star but the planet Venus, the brightest night light in the sky, guiding the way, a symbol of Nature's protection or guidance.
Juneteenth has a smiling face, happy to help her people and see them grow.
Silver hair representing her elder nature. Slavery isn't bound to one moment in time, it is a timeless aspect of life. Sequentially, Juneteenth, representing the end of enslavement of Blacks to Whites isn't about one particular time.
A yellow shirt representing the brightness of the soul of being free. The hands reflect the connection to the Sun, that touch all life.
The bowl represents an eternal bucket full of hope, hope being invisible. Gold as the color of timeless. The symbol on it is a family: man, woman, child, fetus.
Her sash is of two hands handshaking, representing Black unity
Her dress represents the sea of journeys, where Black people, through all their names have found themselves oppressed, or enslaved, which supports Juneteenth with strength. Black in anglophone, Kalo in Indian subcontinent, Noir in francophone, Sakai in Southeast Asia, Preto in lusophone[Portuguese speaking] , negro in hispanosphere, abo in australia[ a slur for aborigines of australia], zwalt for dutch speaking world, abeed for Islamic speaking world.
Her right hand is holding all the forebears, leading away from the bloody lands of the oppressors.
The eternity symbol on the left foot of the oppressed represents the inclusion of all.
The blood from the right foot of the oppressed represents all their blood which covers all the lands of oppression.
The mountains in the background represent the oppressive lands of the non blacks: the Christian symbol representing all Christian countries, the White Skull representing white plus non Black lands in any continent where Blacks are oppressed, the Phrygian cap represents all European countries, the Crescent Moon represents all muslim countries.
She stands on the new land, wherever it may be, leading the Blacks out of those lands.
Her left hand is releasing hope to the future, invisible yet as potent as one's imagination plus will can make it.
