By Anya Shukla Tacoma native Olivia has been immersed in the arts ever since an early age. She grew up in a family of performers: her aunt is a ballerina and her uncle is the famous bass player Oseama Afifi. It is no surprise then that she enjoys performing as well; she started singing when she was six, has been dancing for ten years, has played the alto saxophone since sixth grade, and is starting to learn the bass. Olivia has a wide-ranging appreciation of various genres, from heavy metal to Japanese city pop. She enjoys not just playing music but also creating her own pieces. She has participated in Seattle Theatre Group’s Songwriting Lab, a week-long songwriting workshop that she credits with providing her with connections and friends to bounce ideas off of. Olivia hopes to be a performing artist in the future with the goal of living in New York City.

 "City and Soul" by Tamara Abouammo By Nickole Munoz Tamara is an Arab-American, self-taught, multi-media artist who has put deep thought into her journey as an artist while only being a freshman in high school. Residing in downtown Seattle, she enjoys taking advantage of Green Lake’s scenery, where she based her most recent project with The Colorization Collective (The CC). At the Green Lake scene, there has been a flash of personal touch to every piece: Tamara uses her camera lens to capture the world. This scene replicates one from years ago when Tamara would watch her brother take passport photos or her aunt make jewelry. As inspiration, she recalls an abundance of stories of her paternal grandma, a popular Egyptian singer whose essence influences Tamara’s multifaceted streams of creativity. Her grandma’s artistic ability translated into musicians and jewelry makers on her mother’s side of the family.
