🌱Artist Spotlight🌱 Mya Noelani @noelanis_diary is a poet and author from Houston, Texas, currently based in Birmingham, Alabama. Storytelling has been a constant thread in her life since childhood. Her creative foundation is rooted in music and that remains an influence on her artistic expression today. Once avoidant of writing, Mya discovered her love for poetry shortly before graduating high school. Since then, she has used poetry to explore and articulate experiences of knowing Christ, love, heartbreak, grief, and self-reflection. After a six-year hiatus from writing and three years away from performing, Mya reemerged in summer 2025, returning to the public eye as a creative and spoken word artist. She released her debut poetry collection, “The Dreamer’s Diary”, just two months later. She continues to cultivate her voice through writing while embracing the creative community in Birmingham that helped her rediscover it. Come vibe with us Saturday May 2nd at the @greenhouse.ensley to learn more about Rooted in Ensley and the beautiful things to come. 🌱🤸🏾‍♀️

Thank you to everyone who came out and poured into this space with us. A special thank you to @bishopleighanne for introducing us to the concept of pallet garden beds and for the demo and instruction support, and to our amazing Rooted in Ensley volunteer @jadebugg101 (Jaiydah) for her behind-the-scenes work capturing footage and helping us tell this story as it unfolds. Thank you to @theflourishalabama for hosting and holding space for this work, and to every volunteer we met on Saturday, you are deeply appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. We’re hard at work, slowly putting the pieces together step by step, hand by hand, building something rooted in Ensley. 🌱 #urbangardening #rootedinensley #birminghamal
