In her teenage years, Zinnia learned how to use art in her mental health recovery.
She now uses self-expression as a tool for youth empowerment, mental health advocacy, and healing.
As a proud Afro-Latina, Zinnia’s photography highlights the beauty in diasporic identity, memory, and resistance. She also explores mental health and humor through video, writing, and collage.
Since Covid, Zinnia has expanded into the virtual realm and is currently offering exploratory art workshops for youth and adults in partnership with Artists for Trauma.
