Meet the Creators
Brooke Fischer
Brooke Fischer grew up in Boulder, Colorado, at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and studied at the Colorado Institute of Art, Denver.

It is because of this passion that she strives to create artwork to inspire movement and get people to use their voices, to take part in the conversation, and to take action in our current political climate. Change is possible if we are paying attention and willing to be proactive.
Zulfa Ishak
Zulfa is a writer and illustrator, and she spends a lot of time inside of her mind. Vulnerability and spirituality inspire the art that manifests through her. Her passion is creating a bridge for ideas to make their way into the physical realm. Once art makes it out into the world, it has a life of its own, and creates a unique bond with every soul it visits. Born and raised in Yemen and now an immigrant in the United States, Zulfa finds joy in planting seeds of her culture in her art - reminders of her first home.

Reyna Noriega
“ART IS YOUR SUPERPOWER, USE IT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.”
Reyna's art and writings are muses from her own journey condensed into a poetic form that people can digest and insert their own experiences, similar to her faceless drawings. She aims not to be a voice for the voiceless, but to lead them to feel empowered using their own voice.

Ashley Lukashevsky
Ashley Lukashevsky — or Ashluka for short— is a visual artist born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. They're currently living between Tongva land (Los Angeles) and Kanaka Maoli land (Honolulu).
Ashley uses illustration and visual art as a tool to strengthen social movements for our collective liberation— racial justice, immigrant justice, climate justice, mental health and LGBTQIA+ liberation. They think that in order to tear down harmful systems, we need to be able to envision a world beyond them. Ashley is trying to draw what that world looks like.
