## Resource

On the KMOJ Morning Show, LaVina Branscomb joined Chantel Sings to share how her North Minneapolis roots and personal journey have shaped her work as a multimedia artist blending graphic design, painting, digital art, and community storytelling. After losing her mother to breast cancer, Branscomb turned to art as a source of healing and transformed that experience into a mission to spread joy, uplift others, and celebrate community voices. She discussed her participation in The People’s Artist competition, a national showcase recognizing artists who use creativity to inspire healing, connection, and social impact, with the winner receiving a $25,000 prize, a feature in Artforum magazine, and an exhibition opportunity in Los Angeles. Branscomb also reflected on the importance of young people seeing artists who reflect their neighborhoods and experiences, while honoring her mother’s legacy by pouring love and purpose into her work.
