Chicago-based photographer and model, Grace Lul stops by The Obama Portraits Tour at the Brooklyn Museum. She describes her experience seeing these portraits in person as overwhelming—as it's not often to see Black people or people of color presented in such a regal and elegant way. Plan your visit at bit.ly/obamabkm before the exhibition closes on October 24.
