Art is Language with Shanina Dionna

This episode is all about expression and finding your voice through a language that makes sense to you. Now we aren’t talking about spoken language, we are talking about ART.

The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation, host Miriam Starobin is joined by Shanina Dionna – a visual and performing artist, mental health advocate and non-profit youth arts educator based in Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since 2011, her Embryo art exhibition series has helped raise awareness for mental health; chronicling the life of one millennial’s growth journey. Her art for social change practice is rooted in the exposure of her own personal battle and history with mental illnesses, diagnoses, hospitalization and therapy treatments. Life-sized acrylic portraits, improv performances, dance/movement, film, photography, botanical therapy and "safe space” installations all help convey her intent for communal wellness and healing. In 2016, Shanina Dionna helped found the youth art program, @artbudsphilly (on Instagram), currently housed at the Urban Art Gallery in West Philadelphia. In 2018, she became one of twenty artists worldwide to receive the first-ever TDC20 Grant (The Dean Collection 20) presented by Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. In a 2020 interview, Philadelphia Magazine recognized her as the “Philly artist creating a positive space for mental health conversations.” Shanina Dionna is a certified PCEAT facilitator (Person Centered Expressive Arts Therapy) and in May 2021 she launched her Expressive Arts Healing independent practice for teenagers and adults.

Building One of Many with Jasmin Foster

This episode encompasses what it means to be the first. The responsibility and the desire to bring up other Black entrepreneurs as she enters into spaces that were never imagined for her.
The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation, host Miriam Starobin is joined by Jasmin Foster – The CEO and Founder of Be Rooted, the first and only Black-owned stationery brand available at retail giant Target and Target.com.
As a little girl growing up in Indianapolis, IN Foster always loved stationery. With every new semester she would be excited to buy school supplies, and into adulthood, she’d buy a new planner to map out her work and life. Despite her enthusiasm, over the years Foster realized that she always felt disconnected from the category. Recognizing that there was a gap in the market for a brand that spoke to her, Foster launched Be Rooted in 2020 with a mission to empower women of color and create a space for them to see themselves in the stationery they love.
Aligned with Foster’s own passion to serve her community, Be Rooted regularly participates in philanthropic initiatives. To date, Be Rooted has donated over 400 free minutes of free therapy through its partnership with The Loveland Foundation. Foster is determined for Be Rooted to continue to partner with more organizations that support women of color and encourage positive wellness practices in the Black community. In 2022, Be Rooted and Jasmin Foster were recognized for its global impact as one of TIME Magazine’s TIME100 Most Influential Companies.
Be Rooted would love to offer all The Unfolding listeners a 15% off coupon on their first order at berootedco.com using code LOVELAND. Head to their website to find the perfect journal or notebook to express yourself.
