Introducing our new logo, designed by artist Sheka Robinson! Sheka is a social justice advocate, creative, cancer warrior who attempts to integrate inclusion into all aspects of her art making process. While her professional career led her down a Higher Education path, she always looked for opportunities to express her creativity in different work projects and created a diversity and inclusion workshop for yoga teachers in training in her community. When she is not creating, you will find Sheka deep into true crime tv/podcasts and spending quality time with her pup Zora aka Zozo.
