Support a Black Trans Woman’s Creative Journey

Hi, my name is DeAna Yemaya, and I am a proud Black Trans Woman who has spent my life breaking barriers and expressing myself through art, beauty, and storytelling. Growing up in a low-income household, I learned early on what it meant to fight for everything. Being trans only made that fight harder, but it also gave me a fire to rise above every challenge. My journey hasn’t been easy, but I’ve always held onto hope, faith, and my love for creating beauty in a world that sometimes felt so dark.

Creativity became my escape, my safe haven, and my voice. Through makeup artistry, hair styling, nail design, fashion, graphic art, and even writing and modeling, I’ve found ways to express myself and bring joy to others. My talents are not just hobbies—they are my way of surviving, thriving, and inspiring others who feel unseen or unworthy of chasing their own dreams.

But let me be honest: breaking through the barriers of systemic inequality, financial hardship, and societal prejudice is exhausting. I’ve built everything I have from the ground up, but I’m at a point where I need your help to take the next step. My dream is to establish a brand that uplifts and represents marginalized voices, especially women like me, who often face systemic barriers in the pursuit of success.

Your support isn’t just about funding a creative venture—it’s about helping someone who has lived through struggle after struggle turn their story into a testament of resilience. But dreams require resources, and that’s where I need your help.

Your support will help me:

• A chance to grow my business: Investing in tools, supplies, and resources that allow me to offer professional services in makeup, hair, nails, and fashion design.

• Launch a professional website and content platform to inspire and uplift others, especially LGBTQ+ individuals who feel limited by their circumstances.

• Create high-quality content that connects with audiences globally.

• Attend workshops and courses to further hone my skills.

• Establish a business that combines all my creative passions under one empowering brand.

• Giving back to my community: I dream of creating a brand that not only showcases my talents but also empowers others to embrace their beauty and potential, no matter their background.

By contributing, you’re not just supporting me—you’re investing in a vision that champions authenticity, creativity, and representation. Every dollar, every share, every word of encouragement is a lifeline for me. It’s more than just funding—it’s believing in someone who has always had to fight for every opportunity.

I know what it feels like to dream of a life bigger than your circumstances but to feel held back by a lack of resources. With your help, I can break free of those barriers and build something that honors my journey while uplifting others.

Thank you for seeing me, for believing in me, and for helping me bring my vision to life. You aren’t just supporting my creative career—you’re helping to rewrite a story that could inspire so many others to keep fighting for their dreams.

With gratitude and love,

DeAna Yemaya
