“When searching for a mentor, you hope to find someone that will challenge you on your work but also provide constructive criticism, then inspire you to think beyond your own measure. To find it all in a supportive person with a proactive attitude is to find a rare gem. Dejha was that mentor for me. Dejha’s poised and astute manner makes her an excellent leader—a real force to be reckoned with! Thanks Dejha! ”

FADE TO BLACK is a celebration of the creative influence and achievements of artists of color. Ahead of its time, it was the go-to event for creative professionals to network, establish partnerships and build foundations for future projects. FADE represented one of the most diverse, high-level intersections of creatives in visual art, film, music and design, and provided a much-needed platform during international art events.

Newt Miami: Experiments in Light, Color & Sound (“NEWT”), is a public art installation in Downtown Miami that transformed the 19-story LED wall of the InterContinental Hotel into a digital canvas for performative architecture. Inspired by Isaac Newton's theory that every primary color correlates to a musical note, NEWT was animated to an original music composition by Kelly Nunes.
