She is one of those people who went down the path of having a “practical” profession (lawyer), but she did not let that pull her away from her first love – art. Pro tip: you can do both, you just have to do it your way! In this interview we talk about empowering yourself by following your inspiration, creating your own lane, and even taking quality naps! We discuss being an artist that reflects the times and how art and rest is part of our movement work. Other Black women get some love along the way including Tricia Hersey (@thenapministry), her sister Ani Todd (@anidrawsoutloud), Maya Angelou, and jewelry mavens Camille Peace Moskoff (@peaceimagesjewelry) and Mary Wormworth (@maryshandsjewelry).
Enjoy this interview where Jaimee shared what might now be one of my new favorite quotes: “When you are fluid, you can’t be confined.”
