About the Artists <br /> This plan has been brought to life through illustrations and graphics <br /> created by three area artists. Here are their stories: <br /> Leeya Jackson <br /> Leeya Rose Jackson is an Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator born and raised in <br /> Detroit, Mi. She creates works that explore and celebrate Black Femme and Queer <br /> identities.

In 2020, Leeya found a new solace in beginning to digitally illustrate <br /> as well as design. She goes by Leeya Makes Noise/Noisemakers because her work is <br /> loud, colorful, bold and dares to center Black identity first. <br /> Mayumi Park <br /> - Mayumi is a Korean-Okinawan self-taught designer and organizer who splits her <br /> time between doing independent work in graphic design (emphasis on illustration) <br /> ► and her role as the community engagement organizer for a local public art <br /> organization.
