Hey Hey! My name is Naila like the Lion King and I am a black creator who believes in the power of art and vulnerability. As artists we create what we can't say, but I create what I am ashamed to feel. My creative process includes journaling, then literally capturing raw emotions on camera, then later collaging the feeling onto canvas. It's my own little therapy. My goal is to bring mental health to the forefront. Look at the trauma, acknowledge it, then release it; On my youtube channel (dbnaila) I do exactly that; I talk, I cry, then I create with my community. I allow myself to make mistakes, and become vulnerable. Life is about letting go, so let's create then release it! Sessions will focus on specific techniques which include: basic drawing, painting, printmaking, quilting and other selected arts and crafts.
