Her art is colorful, bright, expressive and unique.  Some of her work has been displayed at a few popular restaurants in Downtown Franklin.

Her Poetry is thought provoking and soul searching.  Gina's creative art and poetic writing are a heartfelt and loving gift to society.  They will continue to touch others, for generations to come.

Maleika “Ladii” B is a native Jersey Girl who resides in Virginia. She is a mother of three beautiful growing young men who owns her own business. Starting her writing journey in elementary school, she found a place for her pen through short stories, poetry, journaling, and various other forms of writing. Understanding the power of her words and her works in high school, she began to focus many of her poetic pieces towards her love for her culture. Her muse went from literary works to her environment and her love to push true knowledge in the direction it’s needed. Through her many years of life, she has used her experiences, her perspective and education to push life through her words as a teacher, mentor, motivational speaker, writer and mother. She is currently getting back into writing and hopes to finally showcase her work through novels and collections in the near future.

“For each day is anew, each moment is a memory…. To one’s perception is life, but where you are rooted your BEING blossoms” -Ladii B
