Cuyana  is a Black, queer, non-binary graduate of the Clinical Mental Health  Counseling program at Adler University and currently works in a private  practice setting as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. In  addition to consulting work, conducting groups, and facilitating  workshops, they primarily work with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community,  BIPOC folks, and those who fall within those intersections. Cuyana  hopes to continue to provide therapeutic space through a liberatory  framework for folks who are often pushed to the margins of society. They  enjoy anything that involves a good bike ride, listening to late  90s/early 00s hip-hop and R&B that is apparently old school now,  & coming up with alternative names for their 11 year old cat - Ruth  Oprah Bader Ginsberg.

Originally from Cleveland, OH., Vita E. has  been surrounded by the power of art since childhood. From then on, they  made a pledge to use the art that inspired them to influence thought,  change, and freedom to exist without apology. Vita’s passion as a Black  Trans Femme artist has led to many milestones. She’s recently finished a  summer role as percussionist and mentor for Creede Repertory Theatre,  and drummer for the hip-hop musical, Once Upon a Rhyme. She recently  made her Off-Broadway debut as Violet in the world premiere musical, The  Secret Life of Bees. Their response track to Janelle Monae, Hell Y'all  Ain't Talmbout, was included in Source Magazines, "10 Song Soundtracking  the Black Lives Matter Movement." -Instagram: vitae19892015 -Twitter: vitae4life
