JADA JUNIUS

New Orleans, LA

2025-2026 Scholarship Delgado Community College

Jada Junius is embarking on her journey toward an AA at Delgado Community College. She hopes her artwork reaches a diverse audience and that its message reaches the heart of whoever encounters it, regardless of age, background or nationality. She says her art “transcends mere representation; it serves as a conduit for viewers to explore the depths of emotion and the essence of human connection.” A fascination with human portraits inspires her, and she desires to “evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for humanity” with her brush strokes.

Jada Junius graduated from New Orleans Science and Mathematics High School in 2024. She first joined the YAYA Guild in 2018.
