Lakisha Bradley is a Social Practice artist, entrepreneur, Mental Health Aid First Responder, Ozark Regional Transit (Arts, Culture, & Wellness Liaison), and JBU counseling graduate student who discovered her love for art at five yrs. old through teachings from her dad. After 16 years in corporate retail, Lakisha chose to take a leap of faith. While on the journey of rediscovering herself, Lakisha began to paint again. Art became a therapeutic and healing outlet. In 2017, she founded the award-winning MY-T-BY-DESIGN Therapeutic Art Studios serving youth and families within the juvenile justice system, assisted living facilities, public transit, schools, universities, and corporations to share the power of healing art to 20k+ individuals to date. Lakisha is also a 2022 Artist 360 Community Activator grant and the 2023 Creative Impact Award recipient.
