Diarra Imani is an Emmy-nominated spoken word artist, educator, and breath coach for creative executives. Her career began in 2018 with The Youniversity, a creative wellness consultancy that developed from academics and research into holistic wellness and now envelops the full spectrum of her creative modalities. Diarra Imani has led nearly 1,000 students and over 500 educators, community members and families through programs like The Dropout Kidz, CurioCity Workshops, and The Basquiat Project: Where Have All the Wildflowers Gone? Her curricula emboldens creatives, connects outcasted learners and inner-city youth. Diarra Imani utilizes breath as a tool to unfold history, demystify religion, investigate politics, develop spiritual tools, and deepen self-love practices as a way to manifest one's life.
An affirmation-based , neo-soul fusion of reggae blends, hints of choral harmonies, in an impactful poetic form Diarra Imani debuts her album, Time Will Tell. This project is a composite of real-time stories and revelations through the lens and voice of Diarra Imani. As an educator and artist, a first-generation Jamaican, and Black woman, she writes to fill the soul, to acknowledge the hurts and to heal the unspoken wounds we all carry as a member of this world.
