A. Friend
|
"A. Friend" is the pen name for the Visionary Artist, Sumaiyah Dymonz Yates. Her pen name is a play on her middle and maiden names (Anne Friend thus A. Friend) because she wants her writing to always come from "a friend." Ms. Friend is a Certified Intentional Creativity Coach, Certified Spiritual Coach, and a Certified Color of Woman Teacher. She has taken wisdom gained through personal experience along with the professional training she has received and produced this volume as a gentle way to introduce using intentional creativity in your life, rather than diving in head strong as the work of intentional creativity as a tool for healing can be intense. Ms. Friend has been published in the Red Thread Nation Leadership Circle, is a Contributing Writer for Mother of Nurture, and a regular Guest Host on A Year in the Life of an Art Journal. She has also appeared in various other publications which appear both in print and online. Ms. Friend (Sumaiyah Yates) is also the founder and owner of the Soulful Emergence Art Gallery, located in Baltimore, Maryland. This is a full-service art gallery which is currently representing 10 female artists located around the world. Lastly, she has recently launched Transcendental WINGS: Women Intent on Nurturing the Goddess pSyche - a community of women who gather together for sisterhood, creativity, wisdom circles, Girls' Night Out, and more.
