About
Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Diamond Symoné is an Afro-Caribbean artist, leader, consultant, and certified full-spectrum doula. She is the eldest daughter of a Jamaican father and African-American mother, a cultural legacy that deeply informs her creative and community-driven work. Diamond holds a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Oakland University, earning her bachelor’s degree in Arts & Entertainment Administration from Eastern Michigan University. She is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a reproductive health educator, and an active community organizer.
In 2018, Diamond established her arts, culture and wellness company, Diamond Symoné Visuals, carving out a unique path as a multi-hyphenate millennial blending fine art, cultural commentary, wellness and creative direction. Her artwork, primarily acrylic and oil on canvas, draws on real-life experiences and heritage to spark dialogue around themes such as sexuality, femininity, urban culture, racial injustice, contemporary Black identity, and African ancestry. Diamond’s pieces often feature portraits of prolific artists and activists who have shaped culture and consciousness. She describes her work as an ode to Black culture and storytelling, both known and yet to be told.
