MEET TY BROOKS

“Life is too short to be gray and not to live each day to the FULLest.
Be intentional…be authentic…and live in COLOR.”

– Ty Brooks

There is nothing simple or ordinary about me, Tynisha “Ty” Brooks. I am a vibrant blend of creativity, conjuring, color, and culture—a true artisan of transformation. My journey as a professional artist and healer began with a profound piece of advice from my mother. When I expressed my dream of becoming a fashion designer, she told me, “If you want to be a designer, you must learn all about the arts.” That moment sparked a lifelong passion for exploring the interconnected worlds of art, culture, and creativity.

A Global Perspective on Art and Culture

As a young woman, I immersed myself in learning about music, theatre, art history, poetry, dance, and design. This exploration deepened my understanding of how culture and art intersect, inspiring me to appreciate diverse traditions like rangoli, bellydance, and flamenco. As an African American woman, my heart is deeply connected to the art forms of the African diaspora, which anchor my identity as a proud “Diafrican” (a term coined by The Diafrican Reunion).

A Multifaceted Creative Arsenal

My formal education reflects my commitment to growth and versatility. At Howard University, I studied fashion before expanding into interior and graphic design. I trained in life coaching at the International Coach Academy (ICA). To further refine my creative expertise, I studied event and television production and completed formal training in photography and cinematography under celebrity photographer Derrel Todd at The Bakery Studio.

In addition to being a Reiki Master and Tantric Shaman, I bring my enthusiasm for aromatherapy, color theory, crystals, chakras, astrology, and numerology into my professional mix, creating services that blend creativity with spiritual alignment.

Sacral Chakra Visioneer and Founder of ARTfrohemia

My work is guided by the energy of the sacral chakra, the center of creativity and connection. To honor this energy, I coined the term “Sacral Chakra Visioneer” to describe my role in helping others bring their visions to life. Through my umbrella company, ARTfrohemia, I specialize in empowering clients to tell their stories authentically and beautifully, with a focus on amplifying the voices of the African diaspora.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve collaborated with a diverse range of clients, including BET Foundation, Step Afrika!, African Ancestry, and Capital Jazz Productions, among others. My mission is to ensure that creative professionals and organizations can showcase their work in a way that is both visually striking and culturally resonant.

A Commitment to Representation and Growth

I am passionate about fostering diverse and authentic representation in the arts and culture, as well as supporting the stability of the creative economy. Whether designing a brand, producing a photoshoot, or offering metaphysical guidance, my work is infused with intention, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to helping others realize their dreams.
