Hi, I'm Love'! I'm a multidisciplinary artist that gravitates towards visuals and music .A lot of my work serves to transmute my heavier emotions, and juxtapose contradicting thoughts and ideas in visual form. I began creating in my childhood, from drawing and painting, writing and performing original scripts, and recording myself singing songs that I'd make up. Over time the subject matter has changed, but I still implement the same childlike wonderment and exploration with the mediums that I use.
My name is Iyana Brumfield and I am 17 years old. I started dancing at the age of 8 under the leadership of Lakeisha Johnson, director of Fearless Dance Empire. Through her teaching, I found my voice and my power through dance. Dance has given me the power to overcome bullying , depression and low self- esteem. Dance is my voice and I can no longer be silent. Dance is healing. Dance is love. Dance is therapy for the hurting.
