I'm Ikesha - an exhibiting Artist, Writer and Creative Director. @iyaarts_ is a nomadic art school centering Global South Heritage practices I am piloting. We deliver workshops across arts and craft to adults and young people within community and organisations. We've partnered with a charity and museum this year. Going ahead we are looking to work with further Artists-Teachers, obtain free/nominal rate hosting space for pop up courses and push our offline and online marketing. @oneandwe_ is a publication I founded highlighting grassroots individuals doing globally significant work. Ahead I want to expand into working with my aspiring or qualified journalists and writers to contribute as I work towards a print edition. DM me for further information.

I'm children's book author and founder of Syáhni's World: Supporting Young Achievers to Have Natural Inspiration. 🌍 I've taken my books into schools and delivered creative workshops where children are given something simple but important the freedom to use their own imagination. At my first workshop, one child told me he enjoyed being able to use his creative mind. Others said they don't normally do activities like this at home and even the parents got involved and started creating! My vision is for Syáhni's World to become a creative and learning space for young people aged 3–18 and their families somewhere they can explore writing, art, music, AI/digital creativity, carpentry, DIY and practical everyday skills. Because sometimes a child doesn't know what they're good at simply because they've never had the opportunity to try it. I want young people to leave thinking, “I didn't know I could do that” or “THIS could be for me." And parents matter too. Becoming a parent doesn't stop us being individuals we're still learning, growing and discovering ourselves. I'm looking to connect with schools, youth organisations, creatives, tradespeople, mentors, businesses, sponsors and funders who can bring skills, opportunities or support to the next generation. I've started it. I've tested it. Now I'm ready to grow it. 🌍💜 If you see yourself being part of the vision, let's connect. 🤝🏾
