Atlanta’s Hidden Gem

"Atlanta's Hidden Gem" unfolds a vibrant collaboration between artist Texas Isaiah and the dynamic JayBella Banks, a multi-disciplinary talent hailing from the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. This project beautifully showcases JayBella in a series of striking photographs in diverse environments and fashion choices that echo her multifaceted artistry as a performer, showgirl, and DJ.

Each image reflects not just her individuality, but also the rich tapestry of her musical and dance practices. Atlanta, a city bursting with creativity, has been a nurturing ground for outstanding talent for decades. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Outkast, who revolutionized the hip-hop scene in the early '90s, along with others like Gucci Mane, Ciara, and the Ying Yang Twins, JayBella stands as a contemporary testament to the enduring influence of the city’s artistic legacy.

"As a dark-skinned Black trans woman from the South, I have encountered many challenges that have limited my access to resources and support. However, I have persevered, allowing my artistry to blossom in the face of adversity. Looking ahead, I desire to deepen my journey and forge meaningful connections across the globe through the power of music and performance."
