Hi, my name is Jomani Danielle. I’m a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and writer devoted to building wealth, healing, and visibility in Black communities through art. Over the last few years, I’ve worked with galleries, curated community-rooted exhibitions, and contributed to Black-owned art publications in NYC. I’ve poured everything I have into uplifting others, but now I’m choosing to pour into myself.

Recently, I made a life-altering decision:

I left the rat race of working for other people’s businesses and chose to return to school full-time to finally finish my degree.

I chose to pursue higher education over fear. I decided living on campus and learning full-time, rather than continuing to rent a room in NYC, struggling to survive month by month with no stability in sight was the right answer.

It is terrifying. I’m currently housing insecure with no stable place to call home. But I realized that if I didn’t make this leap now, I might never get the chance again. And I refuse to give up on my dream.

I’m raising $15,000 to cover tuition, housing, and basic living expenses so I can focus on my education and long-term vision. Your support will go directly toward:

Tuition & enrollment fees

Emergency housing and on-campus living costs

Food, transportation, and school supplies

Art materials and books

A small emergency buffer for mental wellness and stability

This is more than a degree.

It's my chance to break cycles of survival and burnout.

It’s me walking into my purpose.

It’s about showing up for the communities I love with the tools, experience, and credentials I need to build something lasting.

If you’ve ever connected with my work, attended a show I curated, or believe in supporting Black women artists and scholars, this is one way to join me on this journey.

Every dollar makes a difference! $5, $25, $100, whatever feels aligned. If you can’t donate, sharing this link with someone who might is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for believing in me.

With love and gratitude,

Jomani
