Chidiebere Ibe, who created an illustration of a Black fetus in the womb which went viral has now been invited to have his illustrations published in the second edition of a handbook designed to show how a range of conditions appear on dark skin.
An illustration of a Black fetus in the womb went viral last December with many people commenting on social media that it was the first time they had seen a depiction of a dark-skinned fetus or pregnant woman.
The attention came as a surprise to Chidiebere Ibe, the Nigerian first-year medical student who created the image, and describes it as"just one of my drawings to advocate for diversity in medical illustrations." The image started a discussion about a lack of representation in these illustrations -- images that are mostly found in textbooks and scientific journals to show medical pathologies and procedures.
