About us
DejaJoelle (manifestor & ceo)
DEJAJOELLE is an African Centered - Healing Artist, Choreographer, Director, and Cultural Healing Curator. She believes Dance serves as our connection to ourselves, our communities, and our overall Divinity. DejaJoelle creates intentional spaces for Black, LGBTQ2, and Deaf community to discover their own practices toward Healing using Dance, Body Reclamation, and other Healing practices. As the world experiences collective hurt and grief, DejaJoelle trusts that our greatest act of REVOLUTION and REBELLION against hatred and corruption is Self-Love and Healing. As she refuses to fuel the fire of destruction and heinousness, she instead focuses her Art and energy on properly handling Black people who continue to be mishandled.
DejaJoelle manifested the The Remedy deck after experiencing a dark time in her life. She would often swing through deep depression and become co-dependent in romantic partnerships. DejaJoelle felt homeless inside her own body. Waking up disoriented as if she didn’t belong. So, she began writing short love letters to herself on notecards before she went to bed at night. When she woke up to love and affirmation, it guided her to find who she truly is. It helped her to truly begin her healing process and open her self up to Divine messages. DejaJoelle conjured this Melanated Afro-cosmic experience to center Black community in need of discovering their purpose. and yearning to experience the love they deserve.

Shabazzart (artist & Designer)
Shabazz is a self-taught fine artist residing in Columbia, South Carolina. His mission is to teach and guide the collective through spirituality and social matter through art. His art encourages us as a conscious collective to not look outward but to go within to find the answers through this arena we call life.
While never receiving any proper training in art, Shabazz did manage to become an apprentice to a few local artists. He also took the leap to also collaborate with majority of Columbia’s talented creatives. Doing this not only helped his art but he helped Shabazz become more social and connecting with people like himself.
Shabazz’s incorporation of mundane, undervalued materials explores the symbolism in that which is neglected as it pertains to those who are labeled by society as weird and inadequate. Being different and expressive are some of the influences behind his work.
