Aisha Jean-Baptiste

Aisha Josina Jean-Baptiste (she/her/li) is the Marketing & Communications Director and a co-founding member of Honey Pot Performance. A Brooklyn native who was raised in Illinois, she proclaimed herself a poet, at the age of 9. With a background in organizing and freedom-fighting, she is a trauma-informed, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained in liberatory praxis. Since 2016, Aisha, a current resident and explorer of Baltimore, has been providing community-based outpatient mental health services, to Baltimore city/county individuals and families. Aisha imagines an existence in which Black women’s genius, value, creativity, magic, voices, and power will be amplified through a sustainable practice of self-love, self-determination and self- maintenance, without apology. Aisha’s favorite place to be is at the mic and on the stage with her HPP co-collaborators, making lived experiences into beautiful, timeless works. Her greatest contribution to the world is her daughter Ajilé. Liberation for the people of the global majority now!
