JALESE AYANA
"I would scream and felt like no one heard me, through that experience I remained nonchalant and allowed my lyrics to cry with hope for progress as a people while I paint portraits of light that detail the enigmatic journey of black womanhood. My work sits in a realm that parallels urbanness' with professionalism " - LEESY
