Hi Constellations, I’m no longer using Ream Stories to share Song of Wata—it doesn’t align with my brand. All chapters of Volume 01 will now be on YouTube as a podcast and video series. Here's a photo from Mermaid Confluence—felt like Mami Wata! The Sela doll took a photo with me! #nakiashade

"Sisters of Spring" by Nadia Shaik is a colorful, joyful artwork combining painting and collage, depicting two stylish women in bright pink patterned dresses against a vivid yellow background. One woman has flowing blue hair, while the other sports a voluminous red hairstyle adorned with a large pink rose. Their confident poses, layered textures, and floral patterns create a lively celebration of springtime, friendship, and vibrant fashion.This artwork is from Nadia's comic and audio drama Song Of Wata. Published by Garam Masala Studios,LLC.

Niambe's Lunar Ritual by Nadia Shaik is a vibrant mixed media collage showing a joyful woman with bold red hair dancing beneath a deep purple night sky. She wears a sparkling, flowing gown made of floral-patterned textures and holds two glowing orbs while surrounded by swirling, magical white tree branches. The piece blends painting and collage to create a mystical, celebratory lunar scene full of movement and enchantment. This artwork is from Nadia's comic and audio drama Song Of Wata. Published by Garam Masala Studios,LLC.

What's your favorite part of Spring? Mine has been exploring my city in search of cherry blossom trees and greeting the various songbirds and crows when I walk past them on my nature walks.
