It Begins From Within

As told by
Jakia Fuller
My name is Jakia Fuller and I am a self-taught interdisciplinary visual artist Detroit, MI native who is currently living in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. My work is centered on the beliefs of storytelling, creating with intention, instead of creating just to create and reflecting on the times and situations that I find myself and others in. I create internal reflective art, up-cycled clothing, design and develop women of color characters with diverse narratives and personalities, and curating and sharing stories of people of color to bring awareness and to create a space for reflection.

Reclaiming Pleasure,
a theme that the Black Girl Magik collective explored and invited the community to investigate with us through a practice of communal healing and coalition building.
