—Kaliah Hekima
Kaliah is a multidisciplinary artist and healer who alchemizes pain into power. Her work is a deeply emotional offering—soft, sacred, and unflinching. Through painting, poetry, and performance, she channels stories of survival, sensuality, and self-reclamation. Kaliah draws from ancestral memory, embodied ritual, and the beauty found in rest and release. Her art centers Black femmes in their full expression—tender, defiant, divine. Each piece is both a prayer and a mirror that invites readers and viewers to return home to themselves.
