Portrait of poet Yusi Hunter, a dark-skinned young woman with green eyes and long dark hair in braids. She is wearing a cream and gold sari, and holding a glass.

Yusi is a multidisciplinary creative community builder who uses art as a way to connect and heal with others. Her passion has driven her to explore the meaning behind humanity and what that looks like.

This introverted Somali woman has spice and isn’t afraid to use it. As a hip hopper, she’s learning how to build a practice that brings knowledge of self into a Healthy movement, a Loving mindfulness, a trusting Awareness and Wealth within herself and those around her.
