About

Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Diamond Symoné is an Afro-Caribbean artist, creative director, 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 and culture company, Diamond Symoné Visuals, carving out a unique path as a multi-hyphenate millennial blending fine art, cultural commentary, 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. “I am a proud Afro-Caribbean woman from Detroit, and our experience is what I know best. I love to create images of people who look and feel like me. We deserve to be celebrated in a way that allows the world to truly feel the depth of our presence and energy—it is beautiful,” she says.

​

Through her dual commitment to visual art and social impact, Diamond continues to champion representation, healing, advocacy and empowerment for communities of color.

 

Her latest works can be found in collections and exhibitions across the United States, including in her beloved hometown of Detroit.
