Leilani Banday is a Tongva Territory born and raised artist and writer. As a Wombyn of color she explores various aspects of the human experience through her art and writing. From these expressions and experiences Leilani has found both passion and purpose in reintroducing divine awareness into her own life and as well as in the lives of others. 

    Through spoken word, art and Wombens’ workshops  Leilani is able to share this intention, in hopes that this will instill Divine Understanding/ Awareness in the hearts, minds and spirits of those around her. As part of an artist’s collective called, A Stage of Our Own, Leilani has performed her spoken word /installation “Earth Mother: A Letter to My Daughter” in last show 2018 show:UNITY.  Also performing this for both the ILWU Women’s Local 13 and Urban X Indigenous IV : Unite the Tribes, Earth Mother is a piece that personifies the earth into human form and speaks to what she would say to a daughter during life’s trials. Here, Mother Earth is speaking life back into her child and reminding her of her righteousness. 

    It was from this project that Leilani was able to centralize her professional focus on developing what is now an "Art Practice". This Ancestral Art Practice is rooted in creating pieces of art that mis the individual need. Much like meeting with an intuitive herbalist- Leilani first aligns with a client's Divine lineage and collaborates this communication with active witnessing to create a piece that aligns with a specific purpose. Whether it's to increase a client's ability to manifest or align them with a deeper internal awareness- it is all for their highest good. This service paired with others like, remote healing circles and clearing kits- Leilani is an Art Practitioner elevating the BIPOC communities across the globe.
