Aliyah Sidqe
She’s played with paint and color since she was a little girl, and now artist Aliyah Sidqe says she holds onto that childlike spirit while she teaches art classes to students through Zoom. For the past two years, she’s taught art at several elementary schools and recently completed a two-story mural at Washington Elementary with her grant from the Black Artists Fund.
