The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins' primary way of experiencing the world is through Our creativity. However, like many Disabled/Chronically Ill and Neurodivergent people We experience deep isolation that keeps us from connecting to Our Black, Queer and Trans+ communities. In order to disrupt that Isolation We make it a point to collaborate with other Black, Queer and Trans+ and/or Disabled artists.
Check out Our past collaborators as well as the artists and groups We wish to work with below.
Together Igboya/Ealey and TLMVJ collaborated on a tarot inspired mixed media painting called Queen of Cups, which is still available for purchase here.
Ani Igboya/Shani Ealey (she/they) is a visual artist, writer and Spirit chaser living in Oakland, CA. She believes that through art, through creating we each have an opportunity to connect with our highest and truest selves. Through artmaking, we have the ability to reach down into the depths of who we are and affirm, heal, nourish, feed, witness, love and hold the parts of ourselves that need the most tending.

TLMVJ is currently cultivating a community of social justice minded YouTube based creators for the purposes of supporting eachother as we each grow our respective youtube channels
If you have been interested in gettting on Youtube, monetizing your Youtube channel or being in community with other smaller youtube creators (<1000k subscribers), please reach out to join our group!
We are each invested in supporting eachother as we build our respective channels, and in breaking the isolation that so often comes with the life of being a creator/creative.
Its about a 2 hour a week max commitment. We engage with eachother's content on youtube; meet every 6-8 weeks and also support eachother via a Discord server.
