Ruhamaiah is a visual artist and storyteller.
Born and raised in Harlem, New York and now based in Brooklyn, her work is influenced by her experience as a Black queer woman in New York City.
Her work explores the intersection of Black and queer identities, especially to show that the Black community is not a monolith.
She’s interested in her work contributing to a larger narrative around the beauty and complexity of Black and queer people and serving as a form of joy, healing, and communal care for all participants.
