The mural refers to the gift of inspiration and depicts the New York/Puerto Rican author Nicholasa Mohr. She lives nearby and is one of the first widely published Latina authors in the US.

A wonderful mural at a public school in East Harlem. Usually this mural is behind a locked gate but today the gates of hell were open and this sun certainly shines.
By artist Andre Trenier. Part of the 100 Gates Project.
From Wikipedia:
"The mission of the project was to enhance the beauty of the neighborhoods by working exclusively with local artists and merchants to paint murals on the metal security gates of participating stores. In 2014, the project began creating murals on the Lower East Side and set out to paint a total of 100 security gates. As of 2016, the project has surpassed its name and is currently working towards creating over 100 more murals in East Harlem and Downtown Staten Island combined."
