Yana Fay Dzedze | CREATIVE COACH,
PROJECT CONSULTANT & ART DOULA.
Hey, Hi! I’m Yana. Creative Coach, Project Consultant, & Art Doula. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
I’m an interdisciplinary artist & writer, committed to my own unhindered self-expression, and yours too. I support artists to develop a deeper sense of intimacy with themselves, and their projects - to bring a fuller version of themselves to their art & the world.
Art is emotional: It is the excavation of the innermost parts of you, and a deeply personal process. As an art doula & creative coach, I support you to navigate the inner terrain and draw yourself into the world fully.
Art is financial, & practical: If the artist is not resourced, the art is often compromised. As a project consultant & bid-writer for SASOLO, I write funding applications for artist project grants.
If you’re looking for emotional, financial, or practical support with your creative process, you’ve come to the right space. Blessings to the unfolding ahead.
Memoirs | Books
The Fire in My Belly
You Came With the Birds
Cultural initiation, love, life and death all sit at the heart of these enchanting memoirs. Imbued with poetic language that isn’t afraid to enter the gritty and raw of the personal and collective, Yana explores: How do we map the ethics of engaging with cultural practices that are not our own? And how do we find the place we truly belong? Filled with trials, triumphs and striking contemplations on culture, race, and personal identity, these books welcome you into an emotional life adventure, through a world of many cultures.
