Back at it folks and I'm so excited to highlight "Black History Month" and sit down with some amazing Black Girl Magic SHE-ROES in our community.
My First guest this month is ALiYAH SiDQE she is an artist, activist and educator. Aliyah is a self taught artist who strongly believes in the power of art and expression. She noticed at a young age that there was/is a lack of accurate and positive images of people who look like her. Out of this realization, Aliyah began to make it her mission to be intentional about empowering people of color through her art. Aliyah began to gain more and more passion for art which led to her first exhibition show , “New Power Generation” in 2014, curated and hosted by artist, Milton Bowens. She has continued to feature her work in Galleries such as The Brickhouse, Sol Collective, and 1810 with the intention to have her own gallery.
This Month Aliyah is having her very first solo art show for Black History Month at The BrickHouse gallery and art complex. She will also be having several amazing events (which you can find below). These events will be in celebration of Sacramento’s beautiful black community and a space where everyone, all generations can come and enjoy art, music, food and connection.
Press Play and listen to Aliyah share her story on how she started, where the inspiraton comes from and get all the details about her events this month in which I think you should not miss. I loved Aliyah's energy and what she represents. She shares what motivates her to keep showcasing black culture in her art, What she thinks when she hears black history month and who she would love to be given advice from.
