About Aqiyla Thomas
At the core of all my work is social research, community engagement, and artistic expression that serves as a catalyst for cultural understanding and progressive social change. This engagement in listening & story sharing within our community matters, in my NC community, and within our greater public spaces. I am dedicated to exploring, preserving, and strengthening the assets and possibilities in our community spaces. I am always looking for new and exciting opportunities to connect and engage my passion for and dedication to human-centered research, creative arts, participatory storytelling, mental health and wellness, nature, social impact, community engagement and field building. Please feel free to reach out if you\'re interested in connecting. All thoughts and views shared are my own.
